Interpreting Motives:
Let us remember:
John Clare, the poet of the
environmental crisis – 200 years ago
...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
..... 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!
