If you want your children’s children to be wealthy in a world filled with poverty, invest now in rare bird feathers, rare woods, anything animal or vegetable that’s scarce now and can be preserved in good shape.
These things have little value now compared to what people will pay for them later on when your legacy to your children is about the only remaining supply.
Here is a link to a site that’s inclusive of a bunch of others that all report on the sixth wave of extinctions since life began on Earth and is currently happening. Everyone agrees that by the time 100 years goes by, 25% of all land animals, or more, and 20% of all water creatures will be gone forever from the Earth. Right now, only 10% of all large fish populations remain. When the number of any given species drops below a certain level, that species dies out.
A good example is lions. Lions in Africa are dying out. There are now about 23,000 lions left in all of Africa, compared to at least 200,000 only 20 years ago. That’s 10,000 less lions a year, so they have only a few years left to go in the wild. Then any remaining will all be in zoos.
This is blamed on a variety of things: Commercial over-fishing; destruction of habitat; pollution, and so on. That’s true as far as it goes but it’s like saying that a girl died of internal injuries when in fact she was raped to death by a mob of savages.
The true culprit here is too many people. It’s overpopulation that’s causing this mass extinction of the very creatures that feed us and allow us to reproduce ourselves excessively. China is the only country that has taken any steps to limit their population, and they’ve been reviled for “civil rights abuses” for doing so. Indeed, they were heavy handed and still are, but how else do you get people to use birth control unless they become afraid not to?
No leader wants to tell people to stop having children. Excess population is used as a weapon of conquest by Muslims in Europe and by Mexicans in North America. Out-breeding the competition has always been a successful strategy, and towns have always encouraged growth and become cities to increase the general prosperity and compete with other towns and cities.
For decades I’ve hoped for a disease that would sweep the planet and kill most of us. Sorry if you don’t like that idea but I bet all the other life on this planet would be very happy if it happened. At the rate we’re going, we’re going to wipe ourselves out, without a doubt. Unfortunately the mass reduction in our numbers probably won’t happen before we first kill off most of the other life on Earth.
You see why I quit posting. It’s not just the appeasing of Islam, the Socializing of democracies, the constantly increasing crime, the gross corruption of world leaders, the invasion of our nations by human trash or the trashing of our planet itself. It’s all of it all at once. It gets a little hard to take if you spend any time at all looking at the entire picture. But since it looks like no one is going to buy this domain name, I might as well bitch and whine every once in a while. It’s an outlet for me and what the Hell, I am paying for it.
Your Leader. Here I am, eating grass. Pretty good grass. Do you like my ear tag? I wonder what it's for.
