Now that alone is one of the more idiotic things said in this
diatribe (not that there's any shortage). Chaos, disorganization,
and lack of control are not the hallmarks of destruction--they're
the hallmarks of LIFE. The Earth isn't "controlled" by anything--
it's just a chaotic system that evolved to produce a marvellous
tangled web of life, including intelligent beings capable of
marvelling at it.
This, like so much of leftist rhetoric, shows how much of their
philosophy is one of pessimism, fear, depression, and hopelessness.
Of course there must be control, or human greed and avarice will
starve us all; of course there must be forced sharing, or there
won't be enough to go around; of course we must control dangerous
technologies like weapons and nuclear power and biotech, or else
they will wipe us all out; of course we must plan things to be
stable and sustainable--change is bad.
Let's hear it for chaos!
