In Response To: Re: Material: Resource Responsibility (Tom Yost)

: It's nice to feel that we, as individuals, may contribute in some small way
: to conservation or preservation of our natural resources. However, it's more
: of a warm fuzzy feeling than an exercise in reality.

: So, until the big boys do something about our status as a planet, our little
: conservation efforts are meaningless. I can hear the politicians, and CEO's
: laughing as I speak.

: Money talks, and Democracy has mutated into Capitalism. We are not viewed
: as humans, but rather as consumers, a new race for the new Democracy.

: Tom

I'm sorry, Tom, but I respectfully disagree. Every little bit helps. If just a few more people every day make an effort to use salvaged wood, for example, a resource which would have ended up in a landfill ends up instead as a beautiful, non-polluting piece of floating art.

From what I've read by the Father of capitalism, I'd have to say that we're a heckuva lot closer to socialism than capitalism. Have a great weekend, BTW Mike
