elanamatic: Abuse Of Power All weekend friends have been asking me if I have any power. I have never felt more powerless. Who cares if it's Canada or the U.S., if the infrastructure is old or brand spanking new.... We are all to blame. We are so reliant on the juice that we aren't quite sure what to do when we run out. Thankfully, most of us are well behaved and willing to help one another out.
Still, I think as a species we are no better than caged mice, hunting for cheese at the end of the maze. We are so focused on feeding our needs we ignore the signs surrounding us. Last year there was a garbage strike in Toronto. The city was infested with rats and the stench of rotting debris. Were there any lessons learned? Do we consume less? Reduce, reuse and recylce more?
Somehow I doubt it. I am just as guilty as everyone else. I like my showers hot, my music loud and my air conditioned.
