Godwin is Dead, Long Live Godwin
After World War 2, Allied Command forced some homosexual prisoners of concentration camps, survivors of the goddamned Holocaust, to serve out their time for their "crimes" after the war, no matter how long they had been in the camps or how they had suffered, some of them into the 1960s.
WIP Air and Water are Nice
I want you all to be environmentalists in your own right.
I want you to think about how we all treat our home.
So I want you to join me in a little exercise:
The Earth is our home. Now, we don't treat it too well despite this, cause its rather large, and we can't picture what we collectively as a species are doing to it.
So imagine your home. Whether you live in an apartment or on a couple of acres of land, this will work either way. But because this is an analogy for the Earth, I want you all to go one step further. Imagine all the water you use in a year and imagine only having enough air to surround your home in half a cube whose base is equal to the square footage of wherever you live.
Got that in your mind? Good.
Now imagine every single thing you use in a year.
Everything you throw out.
All the packaging you toss.
All the food you scrape into the garbage can.
All the bodily waste you produce.
All the cleaning chemicals you spray.
All the gas you burn to go somewhere.
And everything else you don't think about when you buy it, use it, and forget it the moment you lose interest.
Now imagine all that trapped with you in your home.
All the liquid waste goes into your water.
All the gaseous waste goes into the air.
And all the solid waste, stuffed into a corner and desperately hoped to be forgotten.
Actually, nix that, a good bit of the solid waste goes into your water too.
How long do you think you would last in that environment?
Got it?
Good.
Now imagine you and 7 billion other people doing the exact same thing.
How long do you think we will last in that environment?
It's not an idle question. We're living it right now. Think about it!
And now think what we can do about it!
