Uturn: People actually climb this Mtn.

People actually climb this Mtn.

The first guy to "reach" the summit, in 1910 actually cheated by thousands of ft, then cropped his "summit" photo. Name: Frederick Cook. Says alot about why the male of the species conquers heights (apart from the usual and jaded and syrupy "oh, because it was there..." response). FYI, Hundreds have died trying to get to the top of the damn thing. I say we leave some Mts alone.

People say we are destroying the environment. I beg to differ: I think we're destroying ourselves, and taking most of the environment with us. Example: Global warming is not the issue. Neither is 'biodiversity loss'. It's how we organize ourselves as a species that's the problem. Is our social reality sustainable? No, and here's why: smoke from a machine, 'development' and habitat loss, these are more the symptoms, the physical manifestations (or Entropy) of a deeper societal process which is to increase productivity and profit, i.e., to increase the concentration of power and energy in the hands of a few individuals - at everyone else's expense. Agree to change that imbalance of power, to modify the current power system and install a true democracy where power is shifted from the wallet back to the ballot, to be shared by all, and you will see a lot less smoke. Unknowingly perhaps, you will be agreeing to a sustainable world made of ecological, human societies - without anthropogenic climate change, without species loss. Without war? Onward thru the BS -- as in belief system.
