Onboard the First World Titanic!
Aug. 24th, 2007 by AlMany of you guys out there heard and some even saw the movie “Titanic” about a big luxury cruise liner was crashed carrying all the rich and poor passengers wth her.
This is how the First World living aspirations would drive us straight into if we do not pull back and think about how to allocate our limited resources more wisely.
There’s a fallacy out there due to economic and political concerns that the First World governments unwillingness to admit that the third world huge populace impossible path to arrive and maintain First World standard of living.
So it would seem that the problems seem to be make more complicated that developing nations like south korea,Singapore ,hong kong and taiwan have already succeeded in reaching the goal.
Many more countries would come on board in the near future and this would be less of a problem provided our planet has never ending supply of fossil energy and other natural resources to feed this insatiable growth of ours.
We can’t stop countries to arrive at the so called first class seats of the ship and it would be hypocritical to demand they stop growing while developed nations do not.. while we continue to trumpet free market would lead to a better life for the masses.
Even if third world populace cease to exist, current first world nations would find it’s not possible to maintain it’s present course of life by depleting it own resources as well as imported from third world countries without the steady rate of replacement.
