humans suck sometimes

I am spending this week in Florida, and since I spend the majority of my time on or near a computer, I figured I would stay away from one for one whole week. Since I have become quite accustomed to my Blackberry, I am sort of cheating and typing a blog on this. I don't even have to look sometimes as I type. It's pretty spectacular. Anywho, the one thing I refuse to get away from for a week is the news. This afternoon I was browsing NYTimes and there was an article about how the effects of Chernobyl are affecting the animals inhabiting the area more than they had previously thought.

This got me thinking about an article that I had read on Science-a-Go-Go (I'm such a dork) the other day. The article wasn't exactly current, as it was printed in '05, but it was pretty amazing. It told how nearly 20 years later, although humans cannot live there, nature is flourishing. Mother Earth does not recognize the high amount radiation in the air, and scientists haven't seen anything like that area in a long while. We do not allow nature to grow anymore... There is always this constant need to BUILD, BUILD, BUILD. Fuck that.
