The Essentials in Gardening

    Can anyone deny that human pollution is killing the planet?
    Maybe Rush Limbaugh or some other conservative pundit would.
    Mass consumption is causing massive extinction and poisoning
    of the air, sea, and land. Cities are running out of clean drinkable
    water and where will all the garbage be dumped?

    Over population will create famine and disease. Countries will not
    be able to feed their people. Wars have been fought for food.
    The world's nations move from one crisis to another with no plan
    to control the obvious population problems.

    What drastic measures will come from dwindling resources and
    and a surplus population in high density cities? It is becoming clearer
    everyday that there is a domestic military plan to imprison the poor
    in work camps. Private companies are used to manage over populated
    prisons. While more laws are written to increase the power of law enforcement.

    A dictatorship of an industrial military globalism has risen out of greed.
    What is the alternative? So much waist of manpower and material cannot
    continue forever.

    I like to think about the world as a garden.
    It must be nurtured and protected from pestilence.
    A fundamental revaluation of the value of human life is in effect.
    Are we working for a better world or destroying it?
    A Christian would say that all human life is precious.
    A pragmatic person would not hold this view.

    I see no happy middle ground between them.
    In my humble opinion there will be a great war over oil and the
    population will be reduced perhaps to the point of extinction.
    I am a Zen thinker and I believe great creativity comes from nothingness.
    So be it.+
