Carbon...the reason we ARE

Carbon, a product formed by second generation stars going super nova along with most of the other elements found in the Periodic Table with the exception of hydrogen, nitrogen and lithium, which were present following the presumed "Big Bang" is the basis for life on this Earth. We believe this to be so because carbon has four valence bonds. These valence bonds possess the required energy to make or break a bond just at the correct level for building molecules. These molecules are not only stable but also reactive. These carbon atoms bond to one another and can build long and complex molecules with a myriad of geometrical three dimensional shapes and different sequences of the bonded molecules.

The closest element in the periodic table that might under some circumstances with certain permutations on some planets that could possibly support life-like processes would be silicon; but this according to most scientists would be a stretch of the imagination.

Carbon based molecules are responsible for the things living things need to exist:

• Proteins
• Nucleic Acids
• Carbohydrates
• Fats

It is remarkable that the very element which is primarily responsible for our biochemical existence is now anathema and must be taxed and removed from our Earth according to some elements of the so-called scientific community; which I believe is junk science. I believe this is simply a way of creating a world type government and supplying it with the needed resources (money) to support its fictional doctrines and control the masses; don't forget what our forefathers said...the power to tax is the power to destroy... and obviously control people.

Just thing of it...some day a global government (not elected but selected by a few elite...Copenhagen Agreement?) will impose on us a personal tariff depending on our mass and subsequently our carbon footprint. Just step up to the scale and get your personal carbon tax bill; better stay skinny.
