I can't believe what they've done there and all the people whose livelihoods have been destroyed. It would be better if they didn't have open pit mines at all.<br /><br />marja-leena - Mt. St. Helen's looked like Mt. Fuji before the eruption and looks nothing like that now but you're right that the scars are healing. At least that was a natural disaster and what humans are doing to the planet is anything but - or is it? <br /><br />spadoman - I apologize for neglecting all of my usual visits and I have been by to read your wonderful 12 Virgin series. It's really great.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked this post and I'm sorry to hear about mining the Upper Peninsula. To the 'owners' nothing is sacred. There are many more of us than there are of them and hopefully one day they'll come around.<br /><br />randal - Sorry to disappoint. It won't happen again :-)<br /><br />liberality - It's amazing but true that the world population would drop naturally if we started acting wisely. Let's hope we see the beginning of a better way.<br /><br />belette - Earth must surely be smarter than us because she's certainly much older and wiser. Remember the dinosaurs :-)<br /><br />sean - It's weird to think our particular race is called Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could live up to even one of the sapiens rather than being frightened greedy saps?susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-50412099420644514182010-12-10T14:26:05.052-08:002010-12-10T14:26:05.052-08:00Hm, not easy add something worthwhile after above&...Hm, not easy add something worthwhile after above's comments.<br /><br />Would be marvellous were homo insapiens able to understand what life / nature is about.<br />All it needs is but a bit of sapientia.Sean Jeatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978285783271305489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-40439582373256387422010-12-10T13:26:05.336-08:002010-12-10T13:26:05.336-08:00The earth, I think, is so much smarter than we are...The earth, I think, is so much smarter than we are.

But if any of the other creatures, the four legged, winged one, crawlers and swimmers, were to leave, the world would cease to exist. Nature can do it.<br />I mentioned this in a recent post about Mother Earth, how the open pit mines in Northern Minnesota have reclaimed themselves and have become beautiful places after man stopped scarring them. Then I hear of a new mine project in Michigan's pristine Upper Peninsula and it breaks my heart.<br />I have been so busy with a Meme that runs through until Sunday. (It's called A Virgin a Day if you don't mind me blog whoring)<br />I apologize for neglecting my wonderful friends, (of which I consider you among). I'll get back to "normal" after Sunday.<br /><br />And of course:<br /><br />PeaceSpadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-51458158945783318912010-12-09T20:22:06.101-08:002010-12-09T20:22:06.101-08:00This makes me think of nature's own remarkable...This makes me think of nature's own remarkable revival on Mount St. Helen's not so many years after it erupted in 1980. I think nature can take care of itself better than we can especially after we wipe ourselves out.
