always those extremes, which BTW is why there is war on this planet.
why can you guys never consider a healthy middle-way?
why banning, why not implementing quotas, limitations by time of year, number of vessels, size of vessels, mooring allowed or not number of people, etc. etc.
bans are never a good solution, why should we keep the planet intact if we cannot live on it to protect it? I restrict sugar, alcohol, meat, and many other inputs but would never BAN just for the sake of feeling just or great. i love sweets, hence i consume sugar, but not more than 12g average per day (not counting LOL) it's a irrelevant example but at least one.
people who opt for extremes in the name of the good have often in the past been the soil and ground for later huge conflicts. Consider that !
And then sometimes i consider to make donations to some of the loudest poor who demand to get back to the roots with our life-styles and see how long their restrictive life-style continues with a few thousand bucks in the drawer on in the account. i'm sure in 99% of all cases not as long as they thought while being poor. What I'm saying is that it's easy to buy nothing if one has no money, while for someone who loves all the crazy fast and expensive toys like myself it's really hard to say no if it's possible to say yes. I say this just to share the view from another angle.
IMO those with extreme view ultimately get nowhere, not even to the point that would be as good is one can get, because opposition tends to take a stance and lose readiness for compromise if the demands are to one sided and/or too restrictive. Like so often the best possible lays in the middle and if we do not want to seek the perfect middle-way, there remains nothing but to reduce world-population and now someone tell me how that should work without uproar all over the place (or dictatorship)
SOLOMON IS GREETING, become wise and smart, not demanding the impossible, just to appear to be a nice and just person, with a collapse at the very end as seen and suffered so many times in the past. Bragging with being nice has the same root like bragging with a big car or other stuff, it's a form of self-profiling that ends in the exactly same disaster like any other form of it. Think about all the evil that has been and still is done in the name of "GOD" just to have a nice sounding motive to perform all the ego-centric evil things.
To stay on topic, here come the next series of images, perhaps the last ones because "Cape Hoorn" is at the very edge of what can go through as the arctic if not beyond and without my tourist friend, there would be no images to post.
Images are made in the "Drake Passage" around "Cape Hoorn" at the most southern tip of the South American Continent.
