In Violation!

Over the past few thousand years, humankind has regarded Nature as property.

This concept is rooted in biblical text and has spawned generations who have regarded themselves as having dominion over the Earth.

The feudal system was based on dominion and continues today as a land-grab mentality, based on the principles of ownership and extraction.

Where we are at this point in time is the evolution of that concept, that biblical teaching, where we are now forced to try to manage degradation of the environment rather than prevent it.

We blow the tops off mountains to extract minerals.

Hundreds of chemicals are injected into the Earth to extract gas.

The filth of Tar Sands is hailed as our energy saviour!

Seed is wrenched from us to be “owned” by corporations like Monsanto.

Presidents enact laws to protect these creatures of destruction from the very courts that are there to protect you!

Nine days ago I drew my line in the sand, deciding to refuse to comply with laws that violate Mother Earth and the abundance she so generously bestows upon us.

My own line in the sand has been confirmed this morning as the decision to refuse to comply with all laws that violate Mother Earth has been made.

The days of fence sitting are over.

The gloves are off
