INVENTORY ?
© - Tom Hyland - 2/25/14
LEI'S SEE NOW ...
1. Since the Invention of Furnaces, Locomotives, and Factories ...
all burning Coal ... say 200 years ...
"The Industrial Revolution" ...
We have polluted our Air!
2. Then also, since the invention of the "Infernal Horseless Carriage"
in the late 1800's ...
We have continued air pollution ...
by adding CO2 ... Carbon Dioxide into the Atmosphere!
3. With all sorts of Mining:
Gold, Copper, Silver, Aluminum, Coal, and other Minerals ...
We have desecrated the Soil ... Everywhere ...
As well as ... the Air and Waterways!
4. We have stripped most of the Rain Forests ...
As well as ... most Timberlands ...
To get Wood ... to build Hundreds of Millions
of 'Tinder-Box' Homes!
5. We have built Thousands of Sprawling Metropolises ...
Everywhere ... from Coast to Coast ... in Every Country ...
Stripping Pristine Natural Flora and Fauna ...
Replaced by Billions of Tons of Concrete, Metal, and Glass!
6. Just think of That Weight Alone ...
Being Compressed in Local Areas ...
Buildings, Streets, Roads, Water & Sewer Mains ...
Add ... the Weight of Millions of People!
7. Water Pollution is another 'Man-Made Invention' ...
Creeks, Streams, Lakes, Ponds, Rivers, Bays ... Oceans ...
Being Strangled by Human Trash ...
Urine, Feces, Garbage, Plastics, Rubber Tires, Junk Cars!
8. What about God's Creatures?
Polar Bears, Deer, Elk, Moose, Elephants, Wolves, Coyotes, Foxes ...
The Birds of the Air ... The Fish of the Sea ...
ALL APPROACHING EXTINCTION!
9. And ... What about ... PETS?
Cats, Dogs, and All Other ... Abandoned Critters?
Tossed Aside ... Just Like our Human Trash!
Callousness? Stupidity? Greed? Corruption?
10. And ... Finally ... HUMAN TRASH!
The Homeless! Un-Sheltered! Un-Clothed! Unfed!
LIVING HAND-TO-MOUTH ... IN CARDBOARD BOXES!
WOUNDED AND DISABLED VETERANS ... IGNORED!
"Man's Inhumanity to Man" ...
ADAM AND EVE'S EPITAPH !!!
Corrupt Politicians and So-Called 'Leaders' ...
All Over the Globe ... In Every Nation ...
Greedily Scrambling ... for the "Fortunes of War"!
As Shakespeare's PUCK so aptly said:
So Many, Many Years Ago ...
"WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE!"
INVENTORY? TAKE STOCK?
PRAY TELL ... WHAT ELSE CAN WE 'SCREW UP'?
SPACE? THE "FINAL FRONTIER"?

Much, Much better than a Tornado Wall would be large dirt berms. Evidence: when the 2000 Ft. Worth tornado hit from the West, it traveled easterly, following I-30 (I live 3 blocks south). About 1-1/2miles to the west of me, there is a 400 ft. elevation rise (berm?) in No. Arlington; this caused the tornado to "jump" into the sky and pass over my location (I could year the the "train noise" above me - I stood on my front porch after getting my 8 cats into closet). 2 miles to the east it touched down again at Hwy 360 (just missing the Arlington Ballpark) and veered to the south, damaging abut 200 homes. It was the elevation rise (berm?) that saved No. Arlington!!
