As all armadillo find these human glyphs are sometime hard to put in a context it does show up their hope in looking at the truth of the earth we all are a part of.

But there are these ugly parts of what is called human emotions that are from the dark side of the human condition one presents itself in the blindness of greed with the scent of which leads into the darkness of self destruction and all that are blinded with the smell to stumble in the chaos of destroying the very element that gives all the essence of being.

The glyphs refer to a observation by a scribe that has a soul for all.

While it is on this misshaped living element called earth which is just one speck in this endless journey in the void of time and space that we must thank them for this attention for the welfare of all. With adieu I bid you check this out for your self ,please go to the source for more light on this stewardship.

The forest for the greed

Bush administration rules, forest regulations have been reworded
less accountability to the public.

Polluters helped the Bush administration write its energy policy. The pharmaceutical industry got its way in the Medicare drug law. So why would anyone be surprised that new federal forest regulations favor loggers over the public interest?

The man who oversees the U.S. Forest Service is Mark Rey, a lobbyist for the timber industry before his appointment, and it is clear whose side he is on. Since he has been in the job, the Forest Service has grown increasingly hostile to its own professional staff. One of those was biologist Kristine Shull, who was threatened with pay cuts or firing if she didn't sign off on the sale of 3,000 acres of old-growth trees by stating, falsely, that they were dead, the online magazine Salon reported. She refused and the stress drove her into medical leave, giving her supervisor an opening to approve the sale. Dozens of biologists, botanists and ecologists told similar stories.

We know who will have the most influence under the new regulations - business interests with friends in high places. The timber industry made sure of that by contributing generously to the campaigns of Bush and other Republicans, and even a few Democrats. Three of Bush's elite fundraisers are top timber executives, the Los Angeles Times reported.

You don't have to be a tree-hugger to understand the danger. Clear-cut logging and other development in federal forests threaten not only wildlife but also the quality of human life. Forests help purify water and air and provide a variety of recreational opportunities. When they are logged, taxpayers are the losers because it costs the government more to build logging roads than it receives in payments.
