My radical ' ' page!
OK, the way I see it is that, and I'm sure everyone will agree with me on this, we screwed up Big Time, somewhere in the ( near ) past, and since there seems to be no way of reversing the process I think we should all join together, this meaning the USofA, te Russians, the Japanese and all these other countries, and build the biggest rocket we could make, and then we should find every freaking little thing that makes us 'civilized', including VCR and stuff and just stuff it all up that rocket and light the fuse, after we aimed this rocket for the sun, of course, so it will explode with one big sonic boom, and I don't hope it will be the end of the sun as well, but let's suppose it's not, so then we'd be freed of that school-business and of those job-things and we could run around all day, wearing nothing but tigerskin and hunt dinosaurs and stuff, which would be pretty cool ,when you think of it, and the only negative point of all of this is that since we shot all our computers and stuff skyhigh we wouldn't be able to see eachother anymore in the RainForest, which would not be pretty cool, so it would probably be best to just go on living like we do, screwing up our cute little planet as we do now and probably always have done, and just wonder about how it could be....... 
I sincerely hope you agree with me on at least one point, and I would just like to say that if you got an interesting idea as well, one that deserves a place on this page, you should fill out that small form at the bottom of this page.
These are reactions/additions I have had so far.... Snowman ( 29/12/96 ) I don't agree with the whole thing. I think we can discuss it. I like technology and science ( I'm going to be a physicist ), but it DOESN'T mean that I wanna destroy our lovely planet. The technology and science aren't the guilty ones. Those are wonderful things. The guilty one is Man, the egoist, the greedy man, the ones who use science and technology foolishly and destroy this wonderful planet without any reason. I think making all the technical things dissapear wo uld be a big mistake. We need to use it rationally, and then we can save this planet. Man was created to use his brain, and develope. I think that pollution doesn't mean the summit of the civilization, it means we are not civilizated enough to use it reasonably. When we have developed well enough, and we won't pollute, we can say: we are civilized enough. I'm optimistic and think we can reach it, and that we can decrease the pollution to zero and keep/develope the technology at the same time.
xstesy ( 14/06/97 ) Gee, u r crap ! The fact that we need to preserve the planet does not mean that we have to return to un-civilisation. We can always strive to make technology and environment work together in harmony. Technology is a 2-sided sword, u can make it work for u or u can make it hurt you. Say transportation for example, it allows us to communicate with others far away in ease but the negative side is the polution. What we, as environment concious ppl r to THINK before we DO. Is it necessary to make that trip in a private car or in a bus. Private car provides luxury and causes polution while a bus would minise the effect but sacrifies the luxury. Until some bright ppl come out with better solutions, we as human must resort to your intellegence to DECIDE for ourselves what is good for the planet.
Ladymyst ( 05/08/97 ) These are more "food for thought" than ideas...
WindFlowerSnow ( 05/10/97 ) I don't understand why you describe our planet as cute? Well, of course we are killing our planet. It's inevitable, because people are content the way they are. What does it matter when we see a piece of garbage on the road? Or that the Chernoble power plant exploded? It never occured to anyone that we are the cause of it. Even if they do know so what? It's human nature to destroy anyways.
muddy ( 21/10/97 ) Listen up all.......Im doing a research paper concerning this topic. If anyone
is interested in giving me some imput, please email me..... steel_eye ( 1/11/97 ) It's true that economics stand in the way of our sustainable living. And the 'big guys' prevent smogless cars and smokeless factories from being produced. But this carbon dioxide that is being released into the air was there once before. In order for it to be fossilized or to become organic it had to be available in the atmosphere first. It has been hypothesized that 'in the beginning' the atmosphere was oxygen poor, and there was no ozone layer. This is how anaerobic life (first life) was able to evolve thru mutations from the sun's radiation. When the waist products of this first life (oxygen) was released, life evolved to utilize this new product. The anaerobic life forms had to adapt or die. Now we are 'polluting' our air and causing it to be toxic to most forms of aerobic life. Guess what? We are a part of that group. But the components for life will still exist on this planet. We may kill the species on this planet including ourselves but the Earth will survive and she will have the building blocks she needs to create life again and it may only take a billion years next time to create mammals but maybe this time she'll keep them in the trees. In the mean time GM and Shell are so worried about having us pay our bills and, I should add, we are very worried about paying them all on time (I include myself) that we don't have any time left over to consider how ridiculous the whole process is on a global scale and how it keeps us trapped mucking around in our little bit of 'trees' and really prohibits mankind from seeing the 'RainForest'. Unfortunately, would chaos and anarchy be any better? Not from my self-centered point of view. That would destroy my little habitat. And none of use want that. So we exist. We voice our dissent and then take the family to McDonalds for dinner.
echidna ( 30/12/97 ) Last month I met someone in Tasmania who is riding around Australia on
a recumbant bike he built himself . Only two wheels, though, so getting
on loaded with panniers and goodness knows what else was a sight to see.
I never quite worked out how he managed to lift his feet off the ground
and get started with all of that weight to unbalance him. I'm a
university student who started my first year at the University of
Tasmania (after moving from North Queensland) a relatively 'normal'
person who put out the recycling every Thursday night and thought that
nature was nice stuff but didn't behave in any radical or unpredictable
manner, and ended the year with a couple of dozen protests tucked under
my belt and a few very strong opinions about logging and resort
building, greenhouse gas emissions (bloody John Howard... - Australia's
PM - cares more about money than being able to breathe) and uranium
mining (bloody John Howard again... I'd say that I don't know how he
thinks he can get away with it, except that he is). I've still got time
for countless bushwalks, lots of reading, acting and singing. And
finishing off my science degree. Someone, somewhere, somehow has to
make being environmentally aware the very attractive option it is
(option, what option?) so that people _can't_ turn a blind eye. Perhaps
it will have to be everyone, everywhere. After sending, use the 'Back'-button on your browser to return here.
