moral humans, moral society, … and ecological community.
negative approaches to human rights and responsibility
less is more!
it is a profound and holistic approach to human ecological rights
for individuals, societies, and ecological communities
“just say no” is your right,
your responsibility!
forget about nancy reagan for now
goal-set; strategically plan; develop objectives, tactics, and actions; measure, analyze and evaluate
replan
toward a relentless life of saying “NO!!!”
to nuclear armaments
to military drones
to militarism; military- and police-force
to ownership of weapons except for “reasonable” hunting and gathering … but not for sport
to artificial systems which involve high energy inputs, throughputs (and yes, outputs)
to greed, and “more,” and hoarding; and exorbitant salaries, per capita and collective consumption (just say “yes” to caring and sharing)
say “no” to borders and walls and prisons and ICE detention (to solitary confinement AND TORTURE! of any kind)
to inequity
to rash decision-making and ecological destruction
to individual decisions and actions; they should always be ecological community decisions
magically this will result in enhancement of positively ethical applied community
ecology/PEACE and
quality life for all into distant time
…………………..
power to the savvy, simple, small, slow, steadfast, sharing (caring), sustainable
who collaborate, cooperate, live lovingly, PEACEfully in solidarity
necessities of rights? …
(homeostatic biophiliac connections … and ecological community and human rights)
almost fourteen billion years says it is all too dynamic, ephemeral, and insignificant
that is, the right to quality life on earth for all
nevertheless, for biota in various dimensions on earth it is of the utmost importance
whether it be in a less-than-a-day-long life of an adult mayfly, ephemeroptera,
or in the thousands-of-years life of a bristlecone pine
all life and the various resources needed for that life are necessarily connected
and for strength in these connections
we should strive for equity of political power over “energy-power” and matter
in twenty twenty-one and beyond we should realize adequate maslow’s needs across the globe
and let go(o)d develop good … and then more good!
……………….
but really now!?!?
do the kapok trees have rights?
and anopheles mosquitoes in the forest pools below?
and the plasmodium in the guts of anopheles and other animals?
sure! we are all connected? we are all biophiliacs.
we all have individual rights to exist and thrive in community
and ecological community in which we subsist and more has the utmost right to exist and thrive
holistic biophilia
the complexity of homeostatic ecological connections, more complex than we can ever know/ever understand
emphasizes the inherent importance of ecological community rights and human rights
biophiliac connections,
ecological community rights and individual rights
are a scientific law, an ecological law, THE law
human rights of and to power
power to
simple, humble, globally astute localist campesinos
francis’ poor, hungry, homeless, landless
refugees, needy recent immigrants
those south of the tropic of cancer
matriarchal agrarian societies
(power to equitable quality life for all for as long as possible
to dynamic homeostatic symbioses)
BUT NOT TO
AGRILOGISTICS AND ARTIFICIALIZATION
MILITARISTIC NATIONALISTS, FASCISTS
TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS
RAMPANT DESTROYERS OF SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL FABRIC AND NATURE, I. E., NEOLIBERAL CAPITALISTIC SYSTEMS
SELFISH MONEYED
THE LORDED LANDED, THE BOURGEOISIE (“GEORGE WASHINGTONS” WITH DE FACTO SLAVES AND CULTURALLY-ROBBED INDIGENOUS PEOPLES)
THE “BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE” OF ACCEPTED ETHNICITY, CULTURE, COLOR, DRUGS, BELIEFS, SEXUAL FORMS/NORMS, HEALTH CONDITIONS, SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS, AGE GROUPS (THE ETHNIC CLEANSERS, GENOCIDERS, WORLD POLICE, “DECIDERS” … AND THE LIKE)

(*paul bain martin (BS/MS-Texas A&M Univ., Ph.D.-Univ. Florida) was raised in a small 2-bedroom, non-air-conditioned home with 5 younger siblings (and worked with “migrant” laborcrews) during the drought of the 1950s on a very small south Texas (hog) farm near Devine,Texas—a farm which always possessed a large garden, fruit trees, chickens and a milk cow. While in Florida during the “Energy Crisis of the 1970’s”, Martin researched population dynamics of natural enemies of key lepidopteran pests in a “model north Florida agroecosystem” (involving vegetable crops and wild hosts, and including studies of Trichogramma and lacewings).
Martin was significantly influenced by ecologists like E.J. Dyksterhuis (TAMU), Archie Carr & H.T. Odum (Univ. Florida) and David Pimentel (Cornell). Moreover, a considerable amount of applied ecological knowledge was developed in late night sessions with Miguel Altieri (UC Berkeley) and during years as a pasture entomologist in Georgia and Brazil. Martin learned/manipulated to the best of his abilities as sustainable agriculture coordinator in Jim Hightower’s Texas Department Agriculture, and later taught biology/ecology at St. Philip’s College. (Martin has developed numerous research publications, essays, and reports and has a recent book on applied ecology, Games We Play. More Than 200,000 Years of Living Truthfullyband 5,000 of Searching for Truth.)
Martin’s wife taught science at Seguin High School and they have been recently or are currently involved with various organizations and efforts toward researching, developing and promoting positively ethical applied community ecology (i.e., a quest for ecological communities which are socially just, humane and ecologically sound), including some volunteer work/ecologicalactivities with: Ogallala Commons (with humble collaborations on Lakota reservations, in NM Pueblos, etc.), Kids On the Land, HEB Foundation Camps, Seguin Outdoor Learning Center,Dos Pueblos-NY/Tipitapa & Episcopalian Latin American veterinary projects and other international programs, & LULAC and local community gardens … and for/with their children and grandchildren on small “family Lands” near Stockdale & Rio Medina, TX.)
