That's the trouble these days with the Media and Internet....There are too many people telling us what we should be doing without coming up with a solution...
I'm certainly not going to take advice about how I live my life from a child with no experience of life...
There seems to be a trend these days for advertisers to use children to sell ideas and other things because they are so innocent, but behind each innocent kid is some shyster with an agenda...
And no Muddy! it's not
just their future, it's everybody's future regardless of how old you are. I'm sick to the back molars of people saying we have made a mess of the world.....We did what we thought was right at the time and given the information we had. Our parents did what they thought was best for us, and we have done the best for our children. If you want to live on this planet you must take from it or die...
And we have taken .
Far too much .
Our future is short and we have had the good times in the matter of the worlds natural resources .
The young of today face a world of diminishing resources and catastrophic climate change.
We have poisoned the oceans and the land .
We have left them a a huge population and a sick planet .
Our parents or most of them didn't know or care what was happening they did what the did to survive but some people did know .
Remember Rachel Carsons 'Silent Spring ' and the Gaia man ( James Lovelock )
The thing is it's no use getting angry with today's young people
They are the ones who will carry the can .
