the beauty of Bali and the specter of destruction

 la bellezza di Bali e lo spettro della distruzione

 Is a rush to the investment, construction in cement even if it destroys nature, what is important is build, build at any cost, even if it recognizes in advance a final destruction. nobody stops and nobody stops them, will be 'the planet itself will stop that everything will self-destruct and this includes the human being, the greatest proponent of this inevitable destruction. the world is tired of human injustice and violence of those who do not respect the rest of this beautiful creation. heaven one day will become 'hell, do not complain then, will be' too late. two old men tell us that 40 years ago they could drink the water from the rice fields without getting sick, they told me that no one could see a piece of plastic that ran in the water, now if they try to drink the first effect is dopiness as if one drank a glass alcohol, but instead are fertilizers, chemical additives that in addition to plastic, oil ends up in the waters of rice paddies. this do not care anyone, 'cause anyones keep running to get rich at any cost, at any cost. poor and stupid human being, perhaps without it the world would be saved.

Vietnam flood toll reaches 24, mostly children....

Flooded houses are seen here in the central Vietnamese province of Quang Binh, on October 2. The toll from the worst floods to hit Vietnam in a decade has reached 24, most of them children, the government disaster authority said on Monday, as it reported a further six deaths

The Hanoi-based national flood and storm control committee said that 21 of those killed have been children who drowned in floodwaters.
The flooding, which began in mid-September and is expected to last until late October, has so far inundated nearly 60,000 homes in the country and damaged more than 6,900 hectares (17,000 acres) of rice fields.
Vietnam is the world's number two rice exporter and the Mekong Delta in the south accounts for half the country's production.
Total losses are estimated at more than 44 million dollars, the committee added.
Unusually severe monsoon floods have killed more than 250 people in Thailand and about 170 in Cambodia, and deluged vast swathes of paddy fields in the region.
