Stocks Plummet Around the World

Since its beginning, capitalism has been a story of highs and lows. Some must lose so that others can win. The surplus gained from others' failings goes into some future design of capitals march forward by chance and by necessity. GROW OR DIE!

So we should not get too upset by the news this morning that stocks plummeted Worldwide.

What we do need to keep in mind and in our pinpoint focus, is that capitals' surge and burst, grow or die, unequal distribution occurred on a landscape of prestine waters and forests, on virgin habitat for hundreds of years. Now that its growth has lead to tight resource availability, more of capital goes to wars to ensure access to the stuff that is so important to its growth.

Forests are either gone or turned into tree farms Worldwide. Tree farms are not sustainable for the long haul, the 10,000 years plus haul. They will remain for many human generations, given the input of appropriate biologicals, but they will not produce that wide diversity of habitat and species our ancient forests provided.

Likewise with the ancient seed bearing habitats of the World, gone forever in most cases. Manipulation of the genetic code cannot replace nature's diversity. The boom and bust cycles of capitalism have sucked much of the life out of our planet.

I will have more to say to myself on these issues. I suspect that capitalism will become incredibly meaner with the onset of Global Warming in its apparent, early arrival.

I suspect that Hitler's doings will be small in comparison to what's coming. We've yet to see the nuclear powers flex their radioactivity in the defense of capitals' World hegemony.
