Re: Yala Swamp aka Dominion Group

Oketch,

The problem I have with people opposing the Dominion Group is because they do not have an alternative to the Dominion Group. The Western capitalists accumulated a lot of whealth selling people, colonizing countries and expoloiting their environment. They later realized that they did a lot of damage to their environment-thanks to the western liberals. They are now tyring to fix their environment and even the western conservatives are now agreeing with them.

They have a lot of wealth to help them do that.

Since most Africans are "Western liberal educated", they only see the world through the lenses of "Western liberalism". The Western Libaral educated and indocrinated Africans like Moisais are are demanding that we approach the issue of environment through the lense of of a western libral persepective and that is why they talk western libral talk like "balance" which is great but we cannot afford.

We in Africa unlike folks in the west have to chose between our environment and whether we can eat the next meal. MY ANSWER TO THIS DILEMA, EAT THE NEXT MEAL. Nobody his right mind wants to mess-up the environment but life presents tough choices all the time and we have to make CHOICES in order to survive.

I cannot stand Africans who apply western liberalism to everything like Moisais. The regurgitate the western liberal solutions to everything including the environment as if the people of Africa cannot think of the choices they have to make to survive.

They (THE MOISAISIS'S OF THIS WORLD) do not realize that the west can afford the "balance" and we cannot. If you have to "Muono ot", you have to get dirty first and take a shower later. (transtlation and interpretation) since the environmentally "safe ways of doing things" are too costly, you may have to mess up the environmen inorder to live tommorow to clean it. We do that every day.

I believe that if we have to make a choice between "messing up" the environment,and feeding our people, then I'd rather we feed our people first thenn fix up the environment later just like the west is doing in great luxury.

In the greater scheme of things, Christian religion both agree that life on earth as we know it will end. the only difference is when and how. The scientists believe that the sun burn hotter then literally ran out of gas at certain point regardless of what we do here on earth.That means global warming can only be slowed down maybe a few thousand years but cannot be eliminated.

The Ice age ended without man's intervention which means the earth is warming up and will cool down regardless of what man does here on earth. The reality is that the sun will burn out anyway and life as we know it on earth will end when all the gasses fueling the sun run-out. Regardless the environmental patches we put here and there may increase the life span of the world for a few thousand years but this is insignicant in the scheme of things. . Let us live NOW.
