  • Researchers are exploring freshwater springs in Texas that date back to the end of the last ice age. Spring Lake, near San Marcos, Texas, is unique because it was dammed 150 years ago, creating an underwater archaeological preserve.

    I feel lucky to have grown up in FL (our springs rival any in the world). I also got to spend many summers near San Marcos TX where my Dad lived! Texas is one of those places that has any type of natural environment you can think of... gulf beaches, rolling hills, canyons, caves, deserts, creeks, rivers.... Everything! Its not all rodeos and farms (although there's plenty of that). If you haven't considered going to TX, go.....

    Humanity is firey with it's beauty:
    “Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”
    We are not a plague, but beautiful albeit sometimes misguided creatures.

    (sorry, you'll have to cut&paste)
    This is Melanochromis. Julidochromis is a very similarly striped genus from another lake.
    The 'Ancient Springs' video is not conclusive for species I.D., but the yellow-black-white pattern struck me immediately.

    Understand what it cost to keep you alive and live the way you do. Lets assume you live near a lake so u can get clean water from the lake fine but what about your electricity coal, natural gas, both need oil companies to drill underground to extract it that in turns translate back into carbon footprint, next toilet paper, food daily expenses need energy to make them and what happens to the waste? When you throw something away the trash pile grows. and you said the earth can't exist without us?

    Tip of the day. When pointing out another persons lack of education. It would serve you well to demonstrate you yourself are in fact educated. Run on sentences along side improper punctuation, spelling errors, and absence of any capitalization. You were practically asking for it!

    what about the millions of years when dinosaurs lived on the planet is that a lie? we weren't around when Dinosaurs roamed the planet and at least another 600 millions years after the first dinosaurs started dying. You can say we're unique that we're the only species that created tools to advance our survival. but we're anything but extraordinary, if we were we'd learned how to co-exist with the planet without harming it and we'd learn to live together without violence.

    I like to challenge your claim about humans being extraordinary being, a society of ants are extraordinary....if and when we become extinct i wouldn't mind if ants became the next dominate species. their social structure is already in place. different species of ants occupy different niche. No social problems with having different class workers. (Ie soldiers workers queens) You claim we give more life to it biologically through reproduction and monoculture. But think about this _at what cost_?

  • @CarnivalBox
    @CarnivalBox 11 лет назад

    Ok fine, that's your opinion, and I respect it, but I really do not share it with you. I think that in order for us to sustain a healthy lifestyle and, heck, even to keep our very own race going, we have to start thinking less economically, and more environmentally. Because in the end, there will be no one to remember anything about the human race, not the pyramids and not even Jesus, so why not make the best out of our lives and stop destroying and instead enhance the planet we're consuming.
