Bingo -can't refrain from trying to pick up a fight bro?

I mean, at least you could be grateful to those in this thread who remain polite even if you treat them like complete dumbasses... You don't agree, fine, but can't you at least respect that we all are free thinkers? Anyway, that's your problem... The rest of the post is addressed to all who read this thread, not you specifically.
I think none of us really grasps the big picture in all these issues, we hardly understand who and what we are, let alone the complex mechanics of ecosystems and solar systems -and our emotional/mental/physical interaction with what surrounds us...
Physical pollution is but a byproduct of a deep emotional unrest which rages within almost every individual on this planet, generating self-destructive behaviours and blocking the natural personal impulse for Compassion and desire for the greater good. Every children (or the VAST majority) is closely connected to this pure sensitivity and concern for all living things, they do clearly feel when something is destructive or distorted. Unfortunately, as the grown-ups nail into their consciousness the concept of struggle, pain, fear, etc. and the child begins to accept to submit to this social brainwashing, this Compassion and True Awareness gets covered and soiled by the mud of human duality and emotional poison.
I think the all-important thing is for every individual to reconnect to the child within and recover this primordial concern for the greater good, this totally compassionate and non-antagonistic attitude towards life (yet very dynamic if need be), thus lifting the emotional pressure from the planet and working on the true cause for the Earth's sickness, which is not physical but emotional. The cause for war is purely emotional, being the uncontrolled savagery in the feeling and desire to kill others who disagree. Hatred is the worst poison there is, far worse that physical pollution. Moreover, the reason for this sick medieval philosophy within political and corporate circles who conspire to enslave mankind and prevent clean technology from reaching the masses, is nothing else than greed, which is fear, which is also an emotion.
So you see, we can debate all we please about how we should deal with the symptoms, without even touching the reasons underlying the effects of that of which we speak. Actually, these sometimes bitter debates just fuels this collective antagonistic emotional "cloud", and actually add to the problems which are discussed. Many around are clever enough not to respond to attacks, but can't we just get along without trying to tear each other to pieces?!?
If you don't realize how your emotional life affects the whole of this Planet and the mankind upon it, there are plenty of researches who clearly show the impact of human emotions on plants -for instance, -and many other unsuspected interactions as well. "Official science" means "widely published and generally accptted science", but you should know that the official channels won't let compromising data through, just like the newspapers, otherwise it would SHATTER TO PIECES MANY PUBLIC MISCONCEPTIONS, and people would begin to question the dogma... You don't believe it? Do your homework and dig an hour or two outside of the black box of "official channels"... I guarantee you'll be amazed at the actual scientific researches we never read about in the papers!
Anyway, should we wait for the approval of "official scientific channels" to stop biting each other and become more loving and compassionate???? Should we wait after ANYONE or ANYTHING to experience for ourselves directly and draw our own conclusions on how powerful emotions are -among other things, how peace, honesty, kindliness, create a sense of harmony and affects our surroundings positively, -and so on??? If we wait for corporations to dictate our beliefs that is the end of it, there is no hope for survival, the whole cycle repeats itself, and who wins?? There's no big winner on either side, one destroys and the other is destroyed, so what's next? Let's do it all over again!!! I think we've had enough of this self-inflicted torture...
Bingo- think it is fine not to believe everything we are presented and take time to think it over and examine the data, but to systematically refuse anything and everything that so-called scientific authorities do not endorse is CRIMINAL INSANE NONSENSE AND IS POSSIBLY THE SHORTEST ROAD TO COLLECTIVE PERDITION!!! I mean wake up, how many atrocities were commited under the guise of prooven science??? If you can't admit at least that part go have your head checked man. I'm blunt but it doesn't mean I'm not compassionale!
