Reason alone does not suffice.
Suntem ca soarele care hraneste viata pamantului si produce tot felul de frumuseti, ciudatenii si rele; suntem ca mamele ce poarta in ele fericirea si suferinta nestiuta. Nu stim de la inceput ce fapte, ce faradelegi, ce destin, ce bine si ce rau continem; si doar toamna va arata ce a zamislit primavara, si abia seara se va vedea deslusit ceea ce a inceput dimineatza – C. G. Jung

All y’all these humans are a little loopty loop!
Artist: The Tongue
Album: Shock and Awe
Title: Animal Crackers
feat. G&D (Georgia Ann Muldrow & Dudley Perkins)
[Intro] {Georgia Ann Muldrow in parentheses}
(Good morning kids…. It’s story time!
We gonna learn about how the animals feel about humans)
Animals crackers in my soup!
(Here we go!)
[Verse 1: Dudley Perkins] {Tongue in parentheses}
Warrior of the light, fight the mighty fight
With the eyes of an owl, with the eyes of an owl
[Georgia]
The owl says…
In the darkness of the night, we see you, we see how you do
How you bring death (death), love to see life take its last breath (breath)
So just confess, you humans are such a mess (such a mess)
You need to give it a rest, your car’s smoke is starting to eat up at my chest
Not to mention how it’s treating all the rest, of life
Oh how we have to fight to live our life! (that’s right)
One of nature’s god-given-rights – look – now do you have a clue?
What we ever do to you? That’s our rainforest too!
OK dude, it’s getting out of hand, put the gun away before my homie eats your hand
[Georgia]
The lion says…
And I’m real hungry too! Ever since y’all meat-sticks came through it’s been
bad man
What we do to you?
I should just eat you! Yeah, that should take care of you!
Killing just to kill a man
We kill to get our fill, y’all kill to get the dollar bill
What a disgrace! And what a waste! Come closer, and let me have a taste!
[Georgia]
Hey, the crocodiles says…
Yeah, me too, rock rock on
Salt-water crocs almost all gone
They say I look fly on the feet
You people would look fly in my cheek
Silly human suit, how about a silly human suit?
So I can buy a gun, so I can aim and shoot
Or better yet some oil, burn and pollute
Cos how y’all living ain’t cute
What will it take? What will it take?
[Georgia]
The snake says…
DUDLEY:
Yesss, yesss, yesss
[Georgia]
Scary snake says…
[Verse 2: Tongue]
Yes sir, this is war and it’s flesh versus fur
We the unpaid servants, serpants hissing out a fresh first verse drowned out
by the traffic
You humans are deafened by your own words – how tragic!
Habitats dance to the sound of the hatchet
We speak up for trees ground down into matches
Bees and the birds make love, never beef with the herd
Why you people hunt peace to disturb?
Keep to your word even when world heating occurs
You ate my brothers without meeting them first!
Served them with meat plus the rice and salad
Crying crocodile tears as I write this ballad about this battle
Polar bears get ready to paddle, and prepare for a journey they never should
have taken
Earth’s quaking, fish scales getting burnt like bacon
Caged birds dream of escaping
Drugs in the blood pulls the bull out of men see ‘em raging, scratching
biting
Never act nice when all we wanna do is get along
Or at least live on – true animals sing along!
[Chorus/Bridge: Dudley, Tongue and Georgia]
Animal crackers in my soup! Most y’all humans is loopty loop!
[Georgia]
And that’s how the animals feel…
Animal crackers in my soup! Most y’all humans is loopty loop!
(loopty loop!)
Most y’all humans is loopty loop!
(loopty loop!)
Most y’all humans is loopty loop!
(loopty loop!)
What?
Animal crackers, one big soup, all y’all these humans are a little loopty loop!

The Unseen Powers Of Animals
Extrasensory Perception Narrated by Andrew Sachs When science fiction becomes science fact… This groundbreaking series unravels the extrasensory feats and near-paranormal powers of animals. It journeys to the outer limits of scientific knowledge to find a parallel animal universe where life exists in other realities and has powers that almost defy belief. Here sharks perceive human electric auras and dolphins use ultrasound to see a human foetus in the womb. There are monkey herbalists, frogs that have mastered the art of cryogenics and lizards that walk on water or cry blood. Supernatural not only looks at animal hypnosis and the healing powers of fish and dolphins, it even explains weird phenomena such as animals foretelling earthquakes or forecasting the weather and fish that rain from the sky.

din ciclu “Fighting for Peace is like Fucking for Virginity”

“Only after the last tree has been cut down,only after the last river has been poisoned,only after the last fish has been caught.only then will you find that money cannot be eaten“
- Attributed to, though possibly not spoken by, Chief Seattle, circa 19th century.
Whether or not you believe that Chief Seattle actually spoke these words (some believe them to have been coined/written by Ted Perry, screenwriter of ‘Home’, a 1972 film about ecology), one cannot afford to miss the overwhelming truth of the statement. All too often, the American people specifically – and almost all humans in general – choose to indulge their comforts at the expense of the ecological balancing act, known simply to us as ‘Nature’. In the year 1992, 2.3 TRILLION GALLONS of untreated waste water was deposited into the coastal waters of the Untied States alone. In that same year, the US accounted for approximately 23 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions in the world!
Let us not forget that while we are busy poisoning EVERYONE’S air, we are even busier destroying some of the best known technology for dealing with the huge amounts of extra carbon dioxide released into the air. I wonder how many acres of tropical rain forest were destroyed to make room for the coffee that I’m drinking right now? What about for marijuana, or cocaine? How many acres are burned or slashed to make grazing room for fast-food beef every year? How many were cut down to be sold as commodities for hard currency, to pay the interest on loans from RICH NATIONS and BANKS, meant to help third world countries ‘develop’?
Everywhere you look, you can find waste. Whether it is wasted heat in assembly or fabrication, by-products from the burning of carbon based fossil fuels, or the two, three, or even more layers of packaging that we open and discard to get to our favorite munchies (I prefer scooby-doo-fruit-snacks), we have allowed, and in some cases even encouraged, the destruction, consumption, and poisoning of any and everything that we can, as long as it makes us more comfortable and/or more money.
A standard incandescent light bulb produces approximately 10 times more heat than light. Consider that. To get the power into our homes in the first place, what went into it? For starters we can assume that a small portion of ecosystem was completely destroyed in the process of making room for and building a power station of some sort. Maybe a river was damned (spelling intentional). Maybe a few acres of forest were destroyed to make room for a coal burning power plant. But then you have to assume that the coal itself was strip mined, or in some other way extracted from the earth in a less-than-forgiving way.
It took carbon dioxide (CO2) producing machinery and ‘technology’ to extract it. It took CO2 producing machinery to process it. To move it. Then it is burned, which produces MASSIVE amounts of wasted heat and by-products (including, but not limited to CO2), all before it gets to this little light bulb, where ultimately more than 90 percent of the energy used to give us light is wasted. WASTED.
From solid waste, to power production, to untreated sewage being released into rivers, lakes, and oceans (because our systems combine waste water and rain water runoff, making water treatment plants overwhelmed when it rains too much), to the over salinization and erosion of top soil (due to unethical agricultural practices bent toward maximizing short term production and profits at the expense of long term sustainability), we are WASTING our home. Our planet. We are wasting our potential, and we are gambling the long term sustainability of our entire existence against quarterly profit projections and maximum short term returns on investments.
The next time you tell yourself, or someone else, that you “cherish your children’s future” (or some other hollow rhetoric), take a look outside and tell me what you see. Do you see a peaceful coexistence between human beings and the rest of Nature? Do you see the ‘stewardship of all things’, as described in almost all major religions on Earth? Do you see a long term, sustainable pattern of life? Perhaps we should educate ourselves on the definition of ‘finite’. There is only so much air. Only so much water (especially fresh water, which makes up less than 5 percent of all water on Earth). Only so many trees. As long as we CHOOSE to consume and waste more than we can restore or put back, it is a loosing equation. Given a long enough time line it becomes not a matter of ‘if’, but of ‘when?’.We are the only species on this planet whose decisions and way of life can impact every other living thing on this planet. With great power, comes great responsibility. Unfortunately, for now, it seems our species is better defined by this: “Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely“.
