Division over Greenpeace and fisherfolk

[azul]

This thread highlights the differences of opinion of people trying to make a living and survive and people that want their grandchildren and maybe life itself to continue. And also highlights respect for laws, and laws that may be flawed and needing some changes.:

What I would say is there is now a need to change some laws to put more value and rights to people and livings things over property and capital interests. There is a crisis here, for many people, and it behooves us real people not to be at each other with knives while corporations get to burn through life and our lives in the race for profits.

A brief and simplistic overview of man's trudge to 2010 depleted resources and spillage:
Poachers are killed to defend and stabilize and perpetuate food stocks. Successful poachers reproduce, incorporate, change the lethal laws, and throw a monkeywrench into the balance of life on this planet.

Love of money is overpowering the love of life, and we need to stand up to these greedy and short-sighted pirates to change our priorities and direction.

1. you have noted a key element of how division among the many

allows domination by the few. All on the water that day had an investment in the long term survival of the prey species and the sustaining ecology of the ocean, yet they were led to conflict due to perceived short term differences. A pervasive culture of competition and win/lose values fails to focus attention on elements of cooperation and long term survival. instead our attention is always focused on short term competition and gains to those most willing to impose force and bodily injury on others. truly, we reap what we sow. the gulf oil spew is an elegant metaphor for how our process serves us.
