Some of you haven't been around as long, but what went before me was the 60's...

I was a teenager in the 70's, Vietnam era...we figured we would all die. A friend of mine asked me to hitchhike to the bridge to ...

Well, anyway...

Don't live your life in the negative. Do what you can do. Save a can..or whatever..don't give up, save one thing.

I would say that if any one of us did that (deal with the whole planets worries every day), we would not be reefers.
I think the point I was trying to make was more so to do with all of the concern for this goat when our whole planet could be symbolically substituted for that one goat...

You guys have global warming in the 60's or 70's?

how many animals were extinct or on the endangered species list back then?

did you have the arctic actually melting away on you?

what about the coral reefs?
were you concerned about the rising acidity of the water inhibiting coral from creating their skeletons and thus building/maintaining them?

We've got wars galore in the new millennium, I am sure you had some major events youlived through in your day, but they are all culminating now.

seems to me, you were right back then.
we ARE all going to die.

I like how you opened this post to voice your concern for this one goat and to SHUT DOWN THE CALGARY ZOO, and then suggest because I point to the bigger picture that I am living my life in the negative...

I'm more inclined to believe we have similiar views on things than anything.
