We Flood it, It Floods us!

Alright, my title my seem confusing, but it makes sense to me and that's all that matters. Read with an open mind and respect for my beliefs. During the last 3 weeks, I didn't fill one sandbag. However, I did work on my days off at Avis-rent-a-car to help Red Cross and FEMA get all there cars they rented from us so they had transportation. I feel pretty good about that. I hadn't seen any of the water until I took a vehicle down to the Moorhead Center Mall for some CNN reporters. It looked pretty crazy, and I was shocked. Being a Biology major, I love this earth and have more respect for nature and all the other organisms in it than I do for the selfish overpopulating humans that live here. All we do is reproduce and since we have the most complex brains we think we are better than everything else. We are constantly destroying what we have and where we live with demolition, deforestation, and pollution without a care in the world that when Mother Nature comes in and ruins a few lives and destroys a city or two it kind of makes me a bit happier inside. I'm not saying that if it were me getting my house flooded that I wouldn't be angry and fighting to save what I have. I am just saying that we deserve disasters caused by Mother Nature. When you think about it, currently it is doing alot less to us with one half ass flood than what we do to it everyday. "Oh lets destroy all this land and build some shit because money is everything and our wilderness is nothing profitable." This flood is telling us that we are taking it too far as a population. I do feel for our community because we are North Dakota and Minnesota. I don't know about all of Minnesota but North Dakota is pretty damn good about not taking things too far and not pushing the limits and quite simply being clean. We must learn from our mistakes and from what Mother Nature tells us. Show some respect people. Nobody knows where we come from. All it is is we evolved a complex brain and money is everything and money buys us things and we love money. So in conclusion, I feel that any natural disaster such and a hurricane or a flood is well deserved by us and we must learn before it is too late. Before we cause our own extinction we have to open our eyes, make some changes, and respect every other living thing like it was your mother.
