“Truth is a tyrant-the only tyrant to whom we can give our allegiance. The service of truth is a matter of heroism.” ~ John F. Kennedy
"A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good just because it's accepted by a majority" ~ Booker T. Washington
It is a hoax that proves just how successful brainwashing can be. It is a hoax that has become a religious-like cult. It is a hoax that demonstrates how fear can be used to control people. In short, it is the hoax of all hoaxes.
Over time human beings have occasionally, and mostly out of ignorance, negatively impacted the environment. In America we nearly destroyed the Great Lakes. However, the nature of earth’s nature allowed the Great lakes to recover once humans recognized where they went wrong. By the 1960s there was a new consciousness about human interference with nature.
Movements to “save the whales, save the owls, save the baby seals” became a common battle cry of liberals. Organizations like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club moved to the forefront of these environmental movements.
These movements are well intentioned and are, for the most part, a positive in our culture. As well intentioned as these movements are, they often forget that human beings are part of the environment too.
“Smart people learn from everything and everybody, average people from their experiences, stupid people already have all the answers.” ~ Socrates
