Who owns what!

The earth does not belong to humans, humans belong to the earth...

hmmm.

The inhabitants belong to the house? (The inhabitants are required,
by the way to care for it, work to pay for it, clean it, etc...if they wish to
benefit from it.) Do the inabitants belong to an inanimate
object?

(I was already in a foul mood when I got home today, that was the icing on the cake.
I am all for taking care of the earth, doing our part, thinking green.)

The earth can survive past and without any human existance and/or interferrence,
just as we humans are intelligent enough to find survival without this planet.

(Not that it wouldn't be horridly difficult, seeing as how
evolution has provided such a perfect set of circumstances...)

The earth does not take care of us...in fact we have to work pretty damn hard to survive on this
earth. Food has to be raised and cultivated and stored. Shelter has to be contstructed and
maintained. Clothing and shoes have to be worn to protect us when we are out and about on this
our Mother Earth...

I purport to announce that the earth neither belongs to humans, nor the humans to the earth. We
co-exist, each trying to survive what devistation the other creates. In the end, the earth would
win. Anything humans do to hurt the earth only hurts ourselves. We do not belong to it, and we
cannot own it.

What a ridiculous bumper sticker.
