What kind of life will they see in a hundred years? In fifty years? Where is God in all this? And why does God allow this massive and hellish destruction to continue unfettered?

It's all about the money. The ecosystem, plants, animals, and people alike can be damned. And they will be damned. The only important thing in
today's society is money, how to get more and more of it. It is truly a godless society we live in; there is no law and order, only mindless destruction of our earth. The citizens of earth are all apparently along for the ride. We watch spellbound while the huge corporations are hell-bent on gouging every last penny from the earth. In the almighty name of progress they maim and destroy, leaving nothing living in their wake. And we stand back and watch because progress keeps moving along.

We've been taught that we can't
stop progress. It's part of life and we should be grateful for it; after all that's how we get medical advances, space travel, computers, the list goes on and on.
And yet it seems that progress should be responsible for streamlining their discoveries, so as not to be so destructive. Surgery can now be done with lasers and yet we still burn oil, coal, and petroleum in defiance of all scientific knowledge and old-fashioned common sense. Energy facts for kids on the U.S.org website spells it right out, although there are renewable forms of energy, the United States prefers to use the nonrenewable forms, the fossil fuels. What possible reason could there be for teaching children this? Perhaps so when they grow up they'll just accept as fact that their country uses nonrenewable energy sources and that makes it okay.

George Bush has used his presidency as a corporate springboard for oil related issues and money making enterprises. Camisea Natural Gas Project is the company responsible for desecrating, befouling the rainforest. It is co-owned by several corporations, Pluspetrol
which is mentioned above, and most notably by Hunt Oil, a Texas based corporation, which has strong ties to George Bush. Halliburton is also involved via Chief Executive Ray L. Hunt who sits on their board of directors. Pluspetrol proudly states that it participated aggressively in the Houston Plan in 1985, per the timeline on their website; the website didn't spell out what that plan may have been. In 1990, Pluspetrol opened offices in Houston. This Argentinean company started operations in 1976.
