have you ever thought of.....?

a couple days ago i was riding down the road and saw this guy in the car in front of me throw a plastic cup out the window of his car. i got to thinking and wondering.how can humans,and i mean all of us, be so dumb? how can we not see the damage we're doing to the earth? between littering,factories,and building places we are really damaging the planet.have you ever looked at the smoke stacks on top of a factory? the smoke is almost black half the time.is that really what you want to be breathing in? we build useless things that we don't need. who needs to be able to get to a Wal-Mart by driving 5 to 20 minutes in either direction.you only need 1 every so often; not 3 all within 20 miles of each other.and why do we need to build a new road that goes the exact same way and the same directions as the one on the opposite mountain? if we stopped to think about all this maybe our beautiful planet would still be totally beautiful and not dying.
