Week 41

I sit here blogging, many thoughts swirling around.  Had a few ideas, but nothing is really sticking out as being a topic to expand on.

So I go to an old fall back.  Raising awareness of species that humans have had a direct cause of going extinct.  For example:  Did you know the Woolly Mammoths and Mastodons were not only cold climate animals?  They weren't!  The largest Mammoth in fact was the Columbian Mammoth.

Their territory was from the north states to Costa Rica.  AND Mammoths are not closest related to African Elephants even though they look mostly like them.  The Asian Elephant is closest related.  The wildest part is that the Columbian Mammoth was the largest, and swam to the Channel Islands near California and became the smallest Mammoths - the Pygmy Mammoth.

And then people showed up and went CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!

Nice of em, but have we really learned anything since then?  We still don't know how to manage our resources and we still wage wars over oil, narcotics, water, and other resources.  The bottom line is the most important thing to humans as an unfortunate whole is money.  So long as that is the case, we will continue to allow big business to make decisions for us, to elect leaders who cater to them, and to lament their choices without actually doing anything to change it.
