* Is Life Sacred?* Satanic view of life* Context of hunting & eating* Life in relation to vegetation* chlorophyll in their leaves, and if you look at the structure of a chlorophyll molecule it’s really similar to a hemoglobin molecule which makes our blood red. The main difference would be there’s a metal atom in the middle of each of those molecules, and in the case of plant chlorophyll it’s magnesium, which gives it a green color, and in our case it’s iron and that gives us a red color.* Life consumes natural resources, not just humans but animals and plants too* Life requires a balanced ecosystem to continue… plants and animals interrupt that naturally, we need checks on invasive species* Life is an abnormality, it is not natural* What is living? Awareness of experience or simply being?

* New Conditions on Alaskan Mine Could Delay Vast Project That Donald Trump Jr. Opposeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/22/us/politics/pebble-mine.html* The Army Corps of Engineers will impose new demands for mitigating environmental damage from a vast proposed copper and gold mine in Alaska, potentially delaying approvals for the project beyond the presidential election* it will not issue a permit until the company presents plans to protect an area in the surrounding watershed, a critical breeding ground for salmon, equal in size to the acreage that the mine would damage.* That requirement could significantly slow a project that had been sailing toward approval until it incurred the opposition of President Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., as well as Vice President Mike Pence’s former chief of staff, Nick Ayers. If Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee, prevails in November, the project is likely to die.* “The mine will be close to killed by this,” said Whit Fosburgh, the president of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.* The proposed Pebble Mine, in a remote region about 200 miles from Anchorage, would be one of the largest open-pit mines in the world and could potentially produce hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of metals. But it would be dug near pristine spawning streams that support subsistence fishing by some Alaska Natives, a large sport-fishing industry and one of the biggest commercial wild salmon fisheries in the world, in nearby Bristol Bay.* Blocked by the Obama administration but revived under President Trump, the project was the subject of an environmental review by the Corps of Engineers, which issued a final report last month and promised a final permitting decision that, by law, must come at least 30 days later.* since the final review was published, the president’s eldest son and some high-profile Republican donors have joined environmentalists and some Alaska Natives in opposition.* Thomas J. Pyle, the president of the Institute for Energy Research, an organization that supports the use of fossil fuels, said: “It appears there is an organized last-minute push to persuade Trump to put the brakes on the mine. He should resist.”* He added, “It is a small subset of wealthy hunter types.”* One of those “hunter types” is the president’s son, however.* Meantime, Mr. Wood said, “a crescendo of voices” was rising to oppose the project.* This month, the younger Mr. Trump, who has fished in the Bristol Bay region, seconded a Twitter post from Mr.
