Lake.

This is a panorama photo of the lake less than a mile away from my house.  This picture doesn't do the view justice.  It looks great and you can fish, you know how many people love that combination?

Then I looked down at the trash.  I'm standing on rocks and I had to be very careful of where I stepped because I didn't want to fall and stop falling by going face first into a pile of broken beer bottles.  Call me silly.  I'm a big proponent of recycling partly because I think that in the future someone will come up with a way to make recycling profitable.  When that happens I think that we are going to see some insanely clean stretches land.

I looked around and I wondered if these people that were littering here treat their homes like this also.  Some probably do and some probably think that "it's just a little bit".  I'm not sure which is worse, the slob or the delusional one.

As I've said before, the human race doesn't mean a damn thing to the planet.  If we completely screw up and kill each other off the planet will survive, it will heal whatever damage we did to it and then with evolution still going this planet will replace us.

Have you ever worked with a useless person?  One of those people that if they disappear you might not even notice?  One that when they disappear you just replace them without even caring if you did something wrong.  That's how the planet thinks of us.  Humans haven't been around for that long in a geological sense, are we still in our probationary phase?
