Re: An analogy
Oct 18, 2002, 09:52
Unfortunately, war is innevitable over resources unless we serious alter peoples approach ... i.e. stop people being meterialistic (I am still pretty materialistic and although I despise this part of me, I find it hard to drop).

Eventually, when (if) solar power is king then we will be fighting over the sunnier countries and all that tatty arid cheap land will be at a premium ... and you can bet there will be wars over that then!

One of my reasons for moving to Ireland was a very long term one. Ireland has the largest quantities of fresh water per capita (and by land mass I believe) than any other European country. Its isolation and relitively backward state in terms of industrialisation means that this resource (the most important of all) could well stay that way long after similar stocks in Europe. One day this will be fought over too unless we (the planet) get our arses into gear.
