Given this scenario, Obama had two choices. He could have started a green energy revolution by mandating energy efficiency and taking the subsidies to the oil, gas and coal industries to revamp the United States into a clean energy company. He didn't do this, which leaves only one option, building the pipeline to Canada's tar sands and delaying the inevitable till it is someone else's problem. No hope for change...killing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029992871936764888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584734024537154964.post-35170645000177544922011-08-26T19:43:52.601-04:002011-08-26T19:43:52.601-04:00Looks like the Obama administration gave the green...Looks like the Obama administration gave the green light on the pipeline.

I too am sorry about missing the big rally on Saturday, but I have other commitments at the end of the week, oh well. It should be fun. I have never been arrested before, so I am looking forward to a new experience.<br /><br />re: the unabomber, he was crazy, but the messenger and the message are two different things. Ad hominem fallacies are unfortunately all too common in our discourse on such topics.<br /><br />Have fun in Washington!killing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029992871936764888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584734024537154964.post-13398830050506614322011-08-20T13:14:01.435-04:002011-08-20T13:14:01.435-04:00Hi Killing Mother, I will be arriving in DC 9/30 s...Hi Killing Mother, I will be arriving in DC 9/30 staying until Friday - although I just saw there will be a big rally on Saturday, so I might change my train ticket if it doesn't cost too much.<br /><br />By chance I happened to read up on the Unabomber this week, I had never paid much attention to him since he was violent I figured he was just a crazy. Well, he probably was (is) but it was quite unsettling to discover that I share much of his disgust with our society. What made him deranged is the unstoppable destruction of the earth.<br /><br />Just sayin'Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584734024537154964.post-2439363755974901162011-08-17T19:50:31.891-04:002011-08-17T19:50:31.891-04:00tsisageya, I am surprised someone as well-educated...tsisageya, I am surprised someone as well-educated as Derrick Jensen lists the Unabomber as one of his heroes. Be careful about what you read on Wikipedia. As anyone can contribute, it is possible and probable that many establishment individuals have an interest in undermining his credibility.<br /><br />And don't worry. My aim is "civil" disobedience. I have no stomach or respect for violence, as violence is (IMHO) the ultimate cause of all our planetary woes.<br /><br />re: the First People, what can I say? I can officially claim Mohawk heritage due to the atrocities of Western Civilization (I also have some African blood, although you would never guess these things from looking at the dominance of my European genes). If only we could turn back time...but we can't. If only we could embrace the values of the cultures that respect this earth...but we don't. The dominant culture that rapes the earth and its people will be the ultimate undoing.killing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029992871936764888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584734024537154964.post-54341062114874094612011-08-17T19:39:07.717-04:002011-08-17T19:39:07.717-04:00Concernicus.

The history of Western civilization is a history of those with military power and immunological advantage exploiting nature and everyone else.

The least we can do now is take care of the land we stole from them, although we have done a pretty sorry job of that too. I should be like Derrick Jensen and say that the only solution is just to bring down the whole system, but I remain a reluctant optimist. I will engage in acts of civil disobedience and then decide where to go from there.killing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029992871936764888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584734024537154964.post-54992637839088489932011-08-14T21:34:36.944-04:002011-08-14T21:34:36.944-04:00DiAnne, I don't get yellow.
