Interpreting Motives:



Let us remember:

John Clare, the poet of the environmental crisis – 200 years ago

"On Friday I'll mark John Clare Day. This great poet showed how the era of greed began with the enclosure of the land" <http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jul/09/john-clare-poetry>

...and don't let us forget the effects of Thomas Malthus -who taught us that poverty is an infectious disease spread by poor people....




So, if you still believe it is all the "unavoidable march of progress":

Finance industry's multimillion-pound lobbying budget revealed

"Investigation shows sector spent £92m in 2011 to secure favourable policy changes as part of 'economic war of attrition'" <http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/jul/09/finance-industry-lobbying-budget-revealed>




..... Or doubt the screw-up value of good intentions:

"Trinidad leatherback turtle hatchlings crushed"

"Thousands of leatherback turtle eggs and hatchlings have been crushed by bulldozers on Trinidad's northern coast, conservationists say. Workers had been called in to redirect a river that was eroding Grande Riviere beach, in front of a hotel used by tourists to watch the turtles. Environmentalists say workers botched the job and destroyed some 20,000 eggs. The mile-long stretch of beach is regarded as a leading nesting sites for the biggest of all sea turtles."

Could it all be the fault of the turtle -the result of commercially prostituting its shameless exhibitionism so blatantly?

-Makes you wonder what hope there is for mankind -when faced with such morally degenerate turtles!
