If we are not poisoning the air one way,with chemicals and smoking chimneys of toxic air, we will do it in another. Chernobyl, 22 years after. Read about it. Yet, people still clamor for nuclear facilities despite the dangers.
We not only pollute the earth, we pollute minds as well. The Jonestown Massacre was an example of religious pollution.Kristallnacht, in 1938 Jewish community in Germany was looted and property destroyed and dumped. 200 Synagogues were destroyed, 90 Jews killed and thousand of dollars of Jewish property destroyed. The dump site was recently discovered.
Lush land was turned into desert in many areas. Nature, not man was responsible for this one. But man is turning the oceans into dumps which will soon be as barren as the deserts if the trend is not stopped.
Dirty campaigns pollute minds with propaganda and lies. The pitting of parties and candidates, rather than concepts, ideas, and plans for the country are polluters as well. The smog they put up prevents clear thinking and cooperation among everyone towards the end goals of a nation. When the detritus of the Bush eight years is finally swept away, will we will able to regain the patriotism that made this country so great at one time? Will our citizens be able to pull together rather than fight so hard to divide? If we have any hope it lies with the people, not the pundits, not the Investor Daily or the Wall Street Journal, but in the little people, the local small town papers. The are the only ones these days that write simply without self-serving greed or hateful goals.
Do I see our country slowly returning to us over the horizon?
