Mother Earth: Ours to Destroy!

I thought that Naomi Klein's book, "The Shock Doctrine", was masterful. Her writing was clear and logical. Her article on the catastrophe in the Gulf is similarly well written with a perspective that emphasizes our indebtedness to creation and our obligation to take care of it.

It is not hard to recognize how generations have plundered the earth for its goods regardless of the cost to the environment. We have not taught our children well since there is little urgency coming from their voices. Whenever the voices become urgent, there is reason to fear the outcome.
