...I have an acquaintence...

This gentleman is very concerned with the environment, and although he doesn't do much in regards to the internet, he found me in the phone book under internet providers, and had asked me to do some research for him... I came into the office the other day to find this stuck in my door... Dear RedFeather ('tho he knows me by another name) If in your wandering through the vast reaches of cyberspace, you happen to conme across a website for th ecologicallty minded, I would be eternally grateful if you would post this. That would be out of site. The night it was writted, I saw the most impossibly beautiful ?tear of the gods? (I'm trying to post this as exactly as I can, but I wasn't sure if this is what is written). (I have seen 7 in 7 years) It seem to materialize out of regions higher than the highest heaven.My hands also suffered the most painful, almost incapacitating cramps. It has been said this is one of the best fliers I have ever written. Sincerely, JC the following is the actual part he was speaking of: Why does the media so often leave the worst crimes unreported? The unforgivable offenses against nature, and thus, against everyone. From lingering high altitude jet exhaust, to gas guzzling vehicles, to mileage laden motorists, the inevitable delayed effects of the excesses may bring about an end worse than the worst hell. The catasterophic buildup of heat trapping gasses, from th burning of fossil fuels, resul;ting in a runaway greenhouse effect. Wet and or cold weather may omly be the reaction of that "self-regulating super organism," the Earth, to our excesses. Her life and death struggle against impossible odds, billions of people. That the world nay seem to be ecologically well off enough, is an illusion of the cherished disbelief of the masses in their all too often unyielding self-willed ignorance. The unenlightened light of a false dawn, foreshadowing the horrors to come. Yet there are a significant, if not growing, number of informed, highly intuitive individuals who, for instance can see the potentially catastrophic error of air borne jets. They are those people who would join forces and seek to have jet traffic routed far away from the Wet Mountain, Sangre de Cristo area of Colorado. And to reduce military flights as much as possible. Every little bit of fossil fuel burnt (be it oil, coal, natural gas or whatnot) hurts. It all adds up. No one knows for certain what may prove to be the last straw or fossil fuel consumption that could break the biospheric backbone of the planetary body, sending us into the tailspin of an endless drought. And since jets are not super fuel efficient hybrids, they could be one of the last straws. The fewer jet flights, th better. And none would be best of all. [they are] replacing heat trapping cirrus clouds with heat trapping jet exhaust. Let us live within our ecological and economic means, "for the sake of all living things."Please feel free to comment on any and all - thank you for reading, and thank you again for my friend - I hope that by the time I show this to him, we have a wonderful, long discussion going. I have not added any thoughts on this of my own, but I plan to as soon as I am able. Do you think that he's right? Are we ruining our world from above as well as below? Do you think that there is anything that we as the "non-military" could do about it?
