RE: The Monetary Paradox: Sand Wars And The REAL Cost Of Sand
Money and price will easily handle any "shortage" of sand. If the supply of sand goes down, its price will go up. As the price goes up, industries that use sand will find a cheaper alternative, or simply go out of business. As more businesses exit the sand business, the demand for sand will go down.
So you see, money and price works as a conservation police. Wow, the free market is cool. :)
If you don't have a conscience or a sense of social responsibility or want to relate to those who are able to connect the dots and feel we are custodians of the sacred earth I guess the free market is cool but without a moral conscience and a compassionate sacred heart mankind is just a greedy, mother f@cking, heartless, destructive machine.
Well, if you don't have the eyes to see, or a brain to think, then you can't see that the "sacred mother" earth is a cruel heartless death machine. Sacred mother earth just has to pop a little pimple of lava and ALL life will be squished out. And she wouldn't even notice. You know why? Because the sacred mother earth is not alive, is not sentient, and is not your warm little mother. The earth doesn't give a shit about you or your social and moral considerations.
The plant might say the same of the soil - but then it would realize the foolishness of berating its life-line. We are similarly dependent upon the Earth.
Just as a child is dependent upon its mother - sacred or not.
Its funny how superstition tends to be rooted in common sense. ;c)
No, it is not the same as a child is dependent on its mother. A mother cares for her child. A mother can think. A mother has emotions. A mother is capable of intentional action.
The earth can do none of these things. It is just a big blob of molten nickle and iron.
But I do agree that we are adrift in a sea of death, perched precariously on a tiny sliver of safety.
