We Are All Of Us Walking Communities

Politicians Need A Better Understanding Of Global Ecology. We Need To Be Freed From Our Species-specific Arrogance. No Evidence Exists That We Are Chosen, The Unique Species For Which All The Others Were Made. Nor Are We The Most Important One Because We Are So Numerous, Powerful And Dangerous.

Body Concentrates Order. It Continuously Self-repairs. Every Five Days You Get A New Stomach Lining. You Get A New Liver Every Two Months. Your Skin Replaces Itself Every Six Weeks.

The Notion Of Saving The Planet Has Nothing To Do With Intellectual Honesty Or Science. The Fact Is That The Planet Was Here Long Before Us And Will Be Here Long After Us. The Planet Is Running Fine. What People Are Talking About Is Saving Themselves And Saving Their Middle-class Lifestyles And Saving Their Cash Flow.
