hard to wrap my mind around

Amazon Rainforest

there are many things in this world i doubt i will ever understand. they don’t make sense to me- and no amount of explaining away makes it clearer to me. wars and deliberate hierarchies of haves and have nots- are a couple of examples. the biggest one that i can’t wrap my mind around is the denial of global climate change. or perhaps ‘willful ignoring’ is a better term- i borrowed that from a buddhist author in the book i am reading. how else to explain this?

amazon rainforest threatened by new oil and gas exploration

riches in the arctic: the new oil race

i think it’s fantastic that most nations of the world pay lip service to global climate change and the effects oil, coal, gas and other pollutants have on it– and that’s all it is. ‘blah, blah, blah, corn based ethanol, blah, blah, blah’- and then it’s on to more oil and gas drilling.

is this why the neocons are working so hard to destroy the planet? perhaps they don’t want it to be left to non caucasians? guess that explains ‘quiverfull’ projects, gated communities and megachurches.

this is why i don’t ever think i will be a buddhist. it is difficult to work through the loathing, disgust, and hatred i feel at people like this.
