I'm adding a link on this thing. It's called We are not afraid. It came out right after the bombings in London. If the terrorist were thinking about making the british cower to their knees they should have reread the part in the history books about the V2 rockets landing in Great Britain during WWII.
Yeah right.
Yeah right.

Infringing thoughts again
We bought the "directors cut" of the DVD "The day after Tomorrow" and I watched the second dvd about the information behind the movie. After watching the DVD on climate change I have a few words I would like to say. First off, that the DVD, the show and the information presented is tainted. All information we receive is “tainted” one way or the other. Every person who talks about Climate Change and/or Global Warming has their own ideas, views and agenda. Even what I am about to say is “tainted”. It is up to you, as individuals, to process and research the information you receive and do with it what you would like.
There is a school of thought and I will try to explain it here, in the next couple of paragraphs. Basically, most scientist and environmentalist talk about how our technology, our way of life, etc. is polluting the air. Causing Carbon Dioxide (and other chemicals) to accumulate in the air and hence add to the Climate Change that is coming. Global Warming.
But think for a second, take a deep breath, and then exhale. What are you exhaling? Is it not Carbon Dioxide? Now think about the animals, the cows, sheep, dogs, cats, and all the other animals. Do they not breath and release Carbon Dioxide too? There is a scientific study going on in New Zealand right now about the emissions caused by the simple barnyard animal called a cow. How the “emissions” from that animal is actually increasing the Global Warming on a large scale. Consider this too, that the surface population of the world has increased over the millennium. Include too the animal kingdom and how it has changed.
Consider too the fact of the number of concrete and asphalt roadways we have created over the years. These do little to “help” the environment and actually have a large impact upon the face of this Earth. Not to consider they add “weight” to the tectonic plates but that the weight has been shifted from one place to another. Consider too that they add and retain heat from the sun. Have you ever gone outside and “felt” the sidewalk or roadway? How hot was it to the touch even on a cool day? How has that changed things? Considering that just a little while ago that rock and clay mixture was buried underground and under trees and grasslands. Consider the chemical imbalance they cause in their immediate area, the increase in surface temperature, and the increase in our mobilization. How have they increased the Global Warming and upcoming Climate Change just by being? But they truly haven’t “caused” Climate Change. What has been caused is simply the speedup of the Climate Change or the Global Warming.
No, I am not trying to diminish the effects that is caused by the cars, motor homes, factories, etc. that is causing most of the chemical pollution in our environment. I am not trying to tell you that driving that big gas-guzzling car and SUV is o.k. Or even lessen the traumatic impact our lifestyle is having onto our environment. I am just trying to make you consider that there are other possibilities, other things, which are also assisting in this problem of ours. I am also not saying that Global Warming could have been adverted or diverted. I do consider that Global Warming is an inevitable circumstance that we have just “helped” along.
Environmental scientist believe that there have been many Ice Ages. They have been preceded by a warming of the environment which caused things to change and cause glacial forming and the coming of the Ice Age. The Great Mother may actually have a pattern. We go from a tropical climate to an ice age then back to the tropical climate in a basic full circle. I’m not going to get into a faith or religious argument here, but I am just stating that some facts point to a climate change through the life of this planet.
Way back when (in the 70’s) many called Global Warming the Coming of the Ice Age. But because another Ice Age is probably hundreds and/or thousands of years away, the closer or predominent change is a temperature increase and Global Warming. These are our immediate problems. Droughts in some places, excess rainfall in others, increase turbulent weather and temperature rise will cause mass amount of suffering in the areas affected. Again, these things luckily are a long way off. They will be affecting our children childrens or our childrens children-children. We are a short-sighted creature. What affects us in the now, is what we are worried about. What will affect our children and grandchildren we can not fathom because we have no idea what it is about or how it will affect them.
How can we lessen the impact, or change the impact? That is up to you, as an individual, to figure out. We can not allow our governmental, religious, or political bodies dictate what we can or should do. It is up to us to figure out what we must do and do what we must do. We can not push our thoughts and ideas upon others. We must make the change inside and outside of our immediate environment. Make changes that we can live with and continue. What we do may feel like little drops in a big bucket, but we will fill that bucket up with many many little drops.
If we just start.

o.k. so i'm lax
Yeah, I know I know. I've slipped and haven't added any great words of wisdom lately. I could say that I have been busy, that I have had other things on my mind etc. But the truth is that I have been just plan lazy. The things I could have said on here could have changed the world. ha ha ha ha - yeah right
