Re: Consumerism
I suppose I could point out that the rubric: "those who don't build must burn", has a counter-argument; one that certain Australians who built homes in a now tinder-dry forest might be thinking about.
Or anywhere else water is getting increasingly harder to find because of all the things that "those who built" have done to rivers and water tables.
I also suppose that when the water does run out, it won't be very easy to live in these places.
The undeniable fact underlining consumerism, is that those who consume such resources are not considering their future, or the future their offspring will have. We have to blame the planet, since we're just doing what we have to do - use everything up.
The increase in depletion of natural resources has been exponentially growing since the Industrial Revolution though; perhaps we're seeing the advent of some kind of natural limit (but who cares)?
