      Theres quite an interesting debate going on in the outerbanks where beaches and infrastructure is needed to be constantly rebuilt and improved because of erosion and shifting of the sands. At the same time no one wants their property taxes raised to pay for the infrastructure problems where they live.

    Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for?
    In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look.
    It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world.
    We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet.

    This rant goes out to florida and everyone on the east coast being hit by the hurricane;
    Hopefully now my feelings of liberty our mutual. You know the knot in your stomach your feeling as you watch and experience a life changing disaster? The burning like you just ate a softball and it wont digest? Now imagine that stress every single day of your working life since 2005. Imagine being tricked into breaking your back for a sincere move and opportunity with your gf, only to have yet another mafia group fleece me as well as the rehab games of noise making continuing by elders who had it way easier. Imagine going a week without power and the power company moving the goalposts to try to shut it off repeatedly, along with other utilities. Imagine having a car with a full lifetime warranty the local mob mechanics break and dont honor, demand payment on under extortion of arrest. Imagine an angry innefficient politicized food stamp and energy assistance offices losing your packets and not being able to eat everyday. Again. That is why i prayed for this hurricane. Now when you are sore with a hurt back and necks after the cleanup. We may feel about the same. Again. Its why i refuse to assist and i truly think with the job opportunities as well as housing opportunities that nobody millenial or younger should assist until a new deal is structured. Across all emt paramedic fema firefighting essential services. How dare you call us entitled.
