Re:dear me

[Guest guest]

Dear Green-

Sorry to say, I think that I am talking to myself when

I TRY to do the alert and consciencious thing and

spread the word...I ALSO TAKE FROM THE " GARBAGE " - the

ultimate exquisite reclycle-er " freegon "

ON THE " FASHIONABLE UPPER EAST SIDE OF NYC...(Intrepid

me)

 

When SCORNED; I DON'T CARE;

I WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE ---SPREADING OF

WARMING TRENDS THROUGH WASTE WASTE WASTE

forever wasting our beautiful earth

 

Where do the people think we will live;

after all the forests are gone;

the water undrinkable;

and NO MORE AIR breathable and the species

EX EX EX TINCT??????

 

We will be extinct and that's that-- Time is up!!!

This sucicidal rapatious somnolent hideous

blindness...

 

It puzzeled me for a while now REALLY ABOUT ALL MY

ADULT LIFE( 36 years)...

I remember when India was suffering ( now too) from

poverty ( \extream... and the population kept rising..

I DIS AND DISCOURAGE birthing mom's and I can be BLUNT

also...

It is not right to exceesivily procreate... It is

unconscionable/

Zero growth - max species, zebras, and ants and worms

and giraffes

There's areason for them all---

 

I THINK THAT " PEOPLE " HAVE A DEATH WISH

AND THESE ALERTS MAKE FOR AN ESCAPIST AND HEDONISTIC

CULTURE... The " Y " Generation???

 

It does make me sad.//

Please be as vigilant as you are...

Happy Christmas( much to learn from Jesus who ended up

crucified ( not for " our sins " but because of the

Truth?

What do you think???

Love,, Penny-
