On making protests in Mara and around the Alta River; The main argument of giving current and energy to the population and the organizations needing the power of the river!

You know, there have been some visible protests against the authority when making decisions, for instance in Mara, and in Alta, and there are professors also being involved. And the arguments against doing current of the river, is that the river should live with all fishes and lives that there are in these rivers of all things that can live there. And the arguments against doing nothing for the authority is these places are the interventions in the nature, and the Sami interests being ignored, and hence we have protests when the building assets of these rivers, are just about making money on people and populations and making them enough power and energy to live lovely and rich and good lives about how all things are.

In 1970; Arne Næss, the Norwegian founder of the Deep Ecology movement, tied himself with 300 others in protest against the building of a dam and the subsequent removal of the waterfall, and they were taken by the police to not do too doubtful actions when the situation was as it was. And Nils Christie showed as Arne Næss, courage to the situations, and in 1982, the book came; If the schools should not be there, and they caused many frustrations and much devil thoughts about how things were and why. Many remember Nils Christie as the criminal protecting person of the nature, andhe was fined for his participation in the Alta-demonstration in 1981. And Nils Christie was as Arne Næss professor, and Nils Christie was that within sociology and criminology, and Arne Næss was it in philosophy, and they showed us that we should be scared about anything, and there is nothing to fear when just being ourselves.

So, both Arne Næss and Nils Christie were taken away from their protests and places of being by being taken of the police. And you know, there was much commotion and noise connected with this, and we know the more we know, the less we know, and much in the literature and the history of the sciences can be made in doubt.

So, we needed Mara and Mardøla and the demonstrations there, and you know taking away the fishes, and destroying the lives to the birds, would imply taking away the life to something that should continue their lives even more and better. And the same arguments were made by the Alta-demonstration, and in addition the Sami people reacted and protested againt these construction building attempts, since they need the reindeer to survive, and also good management of the resources, and we are following the laws, the rules and the norms, but sometimes we are feeling that the authority is making wrong choices, for instance with building a strong school in theory and in practice when being where we are from time to time. And we are just rented for some places in the working life, and there is none solution that is right to any conceivable manner and move and right and, hence we are choosing where to be from time to time.

So, the Alta-demonstrations and people giving the rights to protest the nature, did not lead to any properly and secure decision by the authority, and there was much anger also centrally with people not wanting what the authority was wanting and these persons were just persons just as the humanity is functioning in all kinds of human bodies when we are here. And Alta and Mardøla needed current and energy, and the present needs for households and organizations were too strong, and therefore we made decisions about these earlier. And both Mardøla with industry destroying the nature and making pollution has been dwelled with later on, and the Alta-conflict was unnecessary, and Gro Harlem Brundtland is much to blamed for that, and there were just interests from people and businesses making these decisions as they were.

So, Mardøla and Alta have showed us that there are cases we agree with and disagree with with the authority, and we should not be afraid of being the authority ourselves, and this is just people doing a job.
