Are you saying EVERY intelligent citizen acknowledges this onset?

Maybe you mean that citizens who acknowledge this onset, are the ones
I have chosen to consider intellegent. 

The data used to prove (and disprove) this claim is very short term
data, and therefore not very reliable.

taxfree@planeteer.com, utilizing the immediately preceding chapters of
the closing passages of his book,

MANKIND - MANCRUEL  ///  A CHOICE  -  A DUTY.

responds:

�Progress� has given us nuclear power . .  and weapons; 
digitalis . .  and dioxin. �Intelligent Life� has developed 
into differing cultures and cultural appreciation (Or, are we 
lying to ourselves about that also?) and the manufacture of 
hundreds of thousands of weapons of mass murder  . . .   and 
the will and the capacity to use (or cause the use of) such 
weapons.

PISSING ON PRIDE

Political pawns, promoting profits;
Possess no principles, and piss on their pride
When plucking poverty�s poor.
D.J.L. "Meanderings�  Spring/85

Our struggle to stand erect took unknown eons. Our trek to a 
higher plane could take as long . . . if we survive the ever mounting
insanity.

The law of simple chance states that we will not so survive.

Human garbage, compelled by the madness of greed and allowed 
to act in such a fashion by the cowardice of the majority, 
will initiate or otherwise cause the use of circular siphons 
or other weapons of mass murder. Sarin type nerve gases and 
a whole horde of newly developed means by which individuals 
can murder millions . . . will be employed as society sinks 
further into its sewer of greed. 

Our only guarantee of salvation will be the development of 
a societal concern sufficient to spot the development of personalitys
capable of using such weapons and acting to 
stop or otherwise dissuade them.
                     . . . . .

Those who practised daily thought prior to the 80�s recognised 
that human activity had caused a perceptible planetary increase 
in mean temperatures. From the soft warnings of a few, there 
grew an acknowledgement that the problem had to be addressed.

Doubt is no longer part of the equation. Advanced computer 
modelling has presented us with facts that cannot be ignored. 
Facts that are agreed upon by all scientists charged with identifying
the ever growing threat to our continued existence. Facts that have been
presented to the populace at large in 
a fashion so as to deflect the possibility of angry reactions.

taxfree@planeteer.com continues anew:

The act of acknowledging the onset and the severity of the �Greenhouse
Effect� is necessarily limited to those able to 
set aside their personal interests in the continuation of 
the status quo. 

That, in my view, limits such an action to those possessing 
a higher order of intelligence than that demonstrated by our captains of
commerce and political hypocrisy  . . . .  and 
those who follow their dictates.

My success at court,  regarding the legal right to refuse to 
file tax returns or to pay taxes to or otherwise support any 
society so lost and cowardly as to participate in plans and preparations
involving the will and the capacity to murder 
millions, was the planned outcome of a decision taken years 
past when I predicted the conditions of political, societal 
and physical life to-day.

I thank  whirlpool@mountain.brook.com for writing his/her 
concerns; but I stand by my use of the phrase �Intelligent 
citizens acknowledge the onset and the severity . .� and  
confirm my unwavering belief that we must begin to speak 
openly about necessary actions to address and reverse the 
threat  greed poses to our very existence.

Without that intelligence, without that commitment, we will 
continue to manufacture some 25-30,000 vehicles and other 
automotive devices per day. We will continue to ignore the 
excessive use of limited natural resources. We will continue 
to ignore the ever increasing use of carbon based fuels and 
the unrelenting release of poisons into our air, soil and water. 

We will continue to ignore reports such as that prepared on behalf of
insurance companies regarding a severe increase in weather related
claims and the necessity of higher premiums. We will continue to ignore
chemical and nuclear disasters and laws limiting the liability of
chemical and nuclear plant operators in lawsuits following those
disasters.

We will grow increasingly blind to the decay of our ability to discern
between good and evil.

We will continue to accept the above described plans and preparations,
and the training of millions in preparations 
of mindsets to use such weaponry when "ordered". 

And then?

�IN MUDDY FIELDS FORGOTTEN�

ABOVE MUDDY FIELDS FORGOTTEN, O�ER FOOLS THROWN THERE ASTREW,
RAPTORS SOAR SO PATIENTLY  FOR SOLDIER MEAT ANEW

THEIR CAW A CERTAIN TEMPO, EYES GLANCING DOWN THE WAIT
FOR BULLETS THROUGH VACANT MINDS AND CARRION FOR THEIR PLATES.

GOD! I PRAY! DAMN SUCH FOOLS! SUCH BRAINLESS, USELESS TWITS!
SEND THEM TO A SPECIAL HELL! WHERE TOGETHER THEY CAN FRIT!

ABOUT THEIR FLAGS AND COLOURS, AND REASONS LONG FORGOT; 
AND WHY THEY DIED SO USELESSLY, THEIR SHROUDED FACES FROUGHT, 

WITH THE PRICE OF THEIR STUPIDITY, 
AND THEIR SOULS SO CHEAPLY BOUGHT.

DO THEY CURSE THAT IGNORANCE, THEIR KNOWLEDGE TOO LATE LEARNED?
AND ACHE AT OUR �REMEMBRANCE�, OF BRAVERY NEVER EARNED?
