Passing it on

Apparently my political entries and save the Earth statements have been regarded as schtupid, refreshing me in a a light-hearted way with George Carlin. Apart from the typos, there is something to be said about the trash build up and passing the problem along. Ibelieve that some have mentioned that "passing it along" didn't work many times, including with Saddam and his open defiance to resolutions. If we were to pass it along, we would be doing the same thing opposed by many with the U.N's stagnatation to Iraq, not to mention paying for the many projects we have.

Passing it on isn't really a great thing, right? I could say, hey, open up the steel mills in Pittsburgh again, it's somebody else's concern. We need that steal! Go ahead and build batteries wherever. I think only ffols believe that carbon emissions don't damage the environment.

As mentioned before, the planet rebuilds and destroys, as part of its cycle, but satellite data does indicate a growing depletion in the ozone. While the process of its depletion is being argued, encouraging its destruction through carbon emisisions is whole-heartedly stupid. There sould be the recycling of anything possible. We kill trees, lose oxygen, we either adapt or die to smaller oxygen levels and higher temperatures, greater climatic changes due to ocean changes ... and so on.

Large unrecylced plastic piles larger than the oldest trees ... lovely, nice, helpful ... or just plain stupid.

The "plastic, jerk" notwithstanding making changes now helps humans now. I don't think passing the problem solves it, in fact ... I know it doesn't.

I find it odd that scientists working for drug companies can come up with data that the drug doesn't have the side effects listed, but indepedant studies indicate there are potential problems. Would you believe the drug company investigating itself or an independant group?

The same here ... the 4 our of 5 dentists are probably right, not the one obstinant one.

Wonder of nature

The yellowjack, or bumblebee is very abdominally or bottom-heavy. It is indeed a wonder that these can move at all, let alone fairly fluidly, fast, and they can fly. My lead butt isn't nearly so large, but I also am not nearly so fast, festidious and helpful. I guess I could relate myself to being short-lived, worth only one sting, but would rather avoid battle than to die for a temporary fix.

Anyway, I saw this one out fluttering about the neighbor's flowers and was challenged to catch it in flight. I just wasn't quite fast enough. These are, more docile and tend to sleep during times of the day and can be petted without them provoked into attacking. Their large size makes them easier to touch and the fuzz on their bodies makes an interesting contrast to the rest of the body. They are, for insects, cute and cuddly. I do recommend not touching the head or antenne

I try to read many comic entries daily.  For Better or For Worse, is one such comic that I read.  Today's comic mentioned a way to toast those leaving.  A detestible person leaving receives comparable treatment save the feeling/intent.  Instead of a well-wishing, it is referred to as a prune social (feast) -- where everyone feels relieved that the person is gone.

 

That's great!  Thanks Lynn for years of great work!
