As the World Turns

Today there has been chatter about a statement made that the people of Haiti are suffering from earthquake devastation because of who they are.  Bad things happen to bad people.  They brought in on themselves.  God is punishing them.  People caused this earthquake.

Really?

People are no more able to cause an earthquake then they are able to cause global warming.

We humans remain little mites on the surface of the planet with bloated egos.  To even consider the possibility that we are that powerful is nuts.  We humans cannot control the climate nor earthquakes nor any other punches nature dishes out.

Now get over yourself.

Little Specks

Today reminded me that we humans are just dinky specks on the Earth's crust. How arrogant we are to think that we impact the environment so enormously. The earthquake here in California was similar to a dog shaking after/during a bath. Flip. Flop. We're just specks. I'm such a cynic; but I'm convinced that the whole "Green" movement and "Global Warming" blather is nothing more than marketing. Most people are following along like guilty sheep. Don't get me wrong. I don't like waste; but so many people seem like such chumps. Nonetheless, I enjoy earthquakes (I know - FREAK) and am glad no one was hurt during the free roller coaster ride.
