As The World Burns.....
If a society of people is suffering the process of having their culture eliminated,having their political and social institutions destroyed, their language, heritage, national (not nation state) feeling, economic existence, personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and lives taken away that is called genocide. Check this out:
"The residents of the Carteret Islands in the South Pacific are becoming the world's first climate change refugees.
Piles of giant clam shells can't keep back the rising sea, and mosquitoes from the newly formed pools of water are bringing disease and death. "We are helpless," says islander Selina Netoi. "We don't know where to go."
In other words if this continues they will cease to exist or be forced to be absorbed into another culture with their own being extinct. The Inuit people of Canada would be in line face the same fight for existence in the near future if things do not change. We have seen every year the arctic ice changing.As we've finally seen here and there in the major media very recently (We're lucky they were on the ball all these years keeping watch on our worlds important issues!)
Our actions and inaction of governments are begining to cause the destruction of whole societies. With this in mind the governments of the world should be pressured to act upon this fact, and should be under 110% obligation not to let it happen. Perhaps it's not an obviouly hateful genocide but if we know it's happening and are not changing anything to stop it then it is very real and makes us all of us seem very insidious.
I often think that it is pathetic how metal bands, comedians, little bands of punk kids spelled this all out 25 years ago and the "leaders", politicians, and adults told us all to "Grow up" and that someday we'd "understand". The leaders have led us to this. You would think that it would've been somewhere in their jobs to watch out for the fact that we are headed toward extinction, no?
As teenage members of Sacrifice said to my little pre-halfheaded skull 20 YEARS AGO, "All wars will be forgotten with global warming trends. The flooding of the coasts bring us close to the end. The earth is becoming deserts. No second chance. We will become exposed and watch the world turn to black."
Too bad the leaders of a real world were busy trying to get warning labels on metal records instead of listening to the godamn things. We might have been saved.
"The worlds in danger. No one will realize"... yeah no kidding, Rob.
