Pink Pony

News from Pink, a remote location, near the world-famous icebergs of the South Pacific. What is it really like living on the earth's surface in the South Pacific where you are kept warm by a nuclear reactor, and hang in space suspended by the forces of gravity and the speed of light? I wonder?

What about Earth?
This week I have seen five flippin icebergs off our outpost here in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Not little icebergs with droplets of ice, big icebergs. So big, one is about to cruise by 1km long according to newspaper reports.
Mount Cargill is becoming the state highway, except the dirt track cannot cope with the hoards of people clambering up the rutted out road to try and spot the bergs in the southern ocean on the horizon off the Otago Pennisula.
My thoughts go straight to the damage us humans are causing to our system we live and breath from every day.
Don't you think that perhaps just perhaps by destroying our environment, you can say goodbye to the human species.
Just maybe.
It seems to my human brain that humans are connected to the blue marble.
Without the air, the trees, the 'system" there is no blue marble, therefore no humans.
I never expected to see one iceberg with my naked eye, let alone five, and they are still coming.
Big business needs to be shut down now, not tomorrow, now.
It is already too late I think, as the social implications of a earth no longer earth are already here.
A word might be "unhuman" when the bills can't be paid, the rent can't be paid, and more people are struggling all because some fancy pants decided to keep on rolling in their millions at the expense of fellow humans.
We are in this together more than ever.
It is very much a big business society we live in who have absolutely no regard for us humans.
Go take a breath, smell the air and taste the water because everything from now on has expensive and poor people written
all over it.
