Keep the Faith.

I was reading Jim Moriarty's (CEO of Surfrider Foundation) blog a few days ago, and as if his "Antithesis of Sustainability..." blog on the air conditioned beaches wasn't enough to make me want to vomit, he had written another "Antithesis..." blog about bottled water.... for dogs. The human race is getting excessively ridiculous. It's hard for me to have any faith in our species. It's terrible, instead of worrying about the environment and blatant threat of global warming (see Australian Brush Fires. ), we (mostly the Americans, because we're pigheaded slobs) worry about American Idol, the 2 year anniversary of Anna Nicole's death, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps sucking on a bong, etc.

I don't know how long I can take the fact that there are serious crises in the world like the genocide in Darfur, and brush fires in Australia, where fellow humans are dying, and we (most Americans.) sit on our comfortable chairs worrying about the bikini chick from American Idol getting the boot. It's disgusting. Especially Long Islanders. We're slobs, which is a good reason for our cancer bubble lurking overhead. Which sucks, because countless families need to suffer from this God-forsaken disease because others can't handle throwing things out in the trash cans, or preventing oil spills, or maybe, just maybe, not putting power plants in close proximity.

Unfortunately, we do these things to ourselves. The human race deserves this. We should've taken aspects of Native Americans, and treated the Earth as a "who" instead of an "it". Generally, people have more respect for "who's" than "it's".

I'm losing faith in humankind. (Especially American) It should be mandatory to recycle, and littering should be punishable. There should be regulations on the greenhouse gas emissions coming out of powerplants. We should also allow the science to make cars run on renewable resources available. I'm sure the emission from renewable resources isn't as terrible as the gasoline emission.

Ugh. Bottled water, for dogs. We're screwed.
