The end of the line

Where do I start?
The world is a mess and I did not make it that way. The humans are saying my poop is the reason the oceans are so messed up. Well not my poop per se but the droppings of dogs all over the planet. They have made millions of plastic bags to pick up poop to save the planet. Let me get this straight if you put my droppings in a bag with an after life of 3000 years and drop that in a landfill with a million other plastic bags full of stuff way more toxic than my used food, that is somehow helping the planet?

I realize most everyone thinks you should clean up after your dog. I believe there are exceptions. If for instance I squat in the bushes where no one can see me and let one go  that reminder of my last meal will darken dry and turn to dust. I also have an incredible technique of burying what I leave. I turn my back to the product and scoop mounds of dirt on top with all four feet. The way I look at it that will be inert in a matter of days. Now of course going on someones lawn or drive way should be tended to by the owner, in this case Bones.

All right back to the beach. I have a question about horses. When you see one or a group of riders there is an awful lot of horse plop left behind as they pass by. I have yet to see a horse rider jump off their steed with a giant plastic bag and scoop up after them.

"No problem", I hear you say. They eat grass. It is still poop.

The earth is about 61 percent water. The human body is about 61 percent water.

The ocean makes up a lot of the water on the earth, most of it in fact. The ocean is being killed and not by my poop. Man has dumped toxic waste, dropped bombs into and on the surface.
 With no regard for the future or the health of the inhabitants of this wondrous watery world, humans have depleted its resources, ruined its ecosystems, and virtually destroyed large portions of mother ocean.

Now the big deal is "save the ocean". Of course Bones and I agree. When bones was a kid the ocean was clean. After a dip in the ocean you felt refreshed. Now after you get out of the water you better wash it off or you may get some sort of disease.

Of course a lot of the filth in the ocean is a side effect of war. We have a lot of young men in a lot of countries fighting for things that just don't matter in the long run. Some of these countries have been squabbling with each other for centuries. Let them squabble I say. Keep our young men at home with their wives and children.

If we had put the genius minds of the past generations on the task of providing alternative power resources instead of creating killing machines, guns, and weapons of mass destruction, we would have solar powered cars. Wind would be harnessed to provide us with heat and cool our dwellings. It is totally possible.

Just think, if we used our minds for the good of all and worked with the planet instead of against it, the oceans would still be alive.

There was a horrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan recently. In the aftermath  a nuclear power plant leaked a lot of very bad stuff into the air and the ocean. If we had been using other forms of power this would not have happened. We better figure out that this is not the way to go before the big one hits this coast.

Ok here it is.

 If we had used all the smart people to perfect solar energy,  wind energy, methane energy, and an assortment of other sources (like poop), we would not have to go to war for the oil under the ground in most of the countries we are fighting in.

Humans, stop the wars, bring the boys home, use the sun for what it is intended, harness the wind, and stop killing the ocean.

If everything was done right I could take a crap in your car and get you to town and back.
