They were removed. She’s currently ranting about it in Think Fast. It would be funny if it isn’t so sad and obnoxious.

We are so selfish. Global Warming, . . . .please. I swear, can we quit dancing around the obvious. The Earth has been around quite a long long long long time, agreed? Pretty old, eh? It’s been through the greatest of climate changes, been smacked in the face my world crushing asteriod impacts, and seen countless spiecies rise and fall. The human race is considered in its infancy compared to that time line, right? I’m starting to see the human race, as a whole, acting like the spoiled child that it is. I think we need to redifine this as “Human Warming”. The Earth can take anything we dish out to it. It will still be here even if we destroy ourselves and it will do just fine. Maybe a more peaceful spiecies that is more compatible with its environment will arise from our ashes and see our mistakes of poisoning ourselves and some other creatures to extinction, and not make those selfish mistakes.

Another term I like is “Money Warming”. I would like to stand up and tell you that “Hello, I am a human being, and I’m addicted to money”, except there is no AA for money addiction. Yes, I know I need to live, and money seems to be the way that humans have set up their set of values, customs, religions and ways of life, but I feel it is the root of all evil things done, ranging from geniocide to climate damage to the simpilest street crime. Why are energy companies reluctant to find clean energy? The President himself has said in so many words that it would cost too much and many people would loose their jobs. If money were not the driving force behind everything, then I think a lot of good could be done.

The human race is spoiled, and likes its money and things (As I freely admit, I do too). Unfortunately I will not be around to see if we evolve out of our infancy and develop a love of ourselves and environment and not our things, but I have hope. I see it in a lot of people, not the whole yet, but a lot of people.

When we are young, usually the thing we hate doing most is cleaning our room. Our parents want us too because it is not a good environment to be in. There are things spilled, old food, dirty clothes (A lot of stuff that will make us sick). But, the structural integrity of the room is just fine and will always be solid. The Earth is our room, and it is getting messy. We are starting to make ourselves sick. Unfortunately humans do not have parent to yell at us to clean it. We are an orphan with a lopsided consience. The funny thing is though, when young, and we are done with the chore of cleaning our room (not just everything under the bed), we like it. There is order, we can think clearer, we like looking at it. I think the human race will benefit in the same way if our consience ever decides it’s the best thing to do and not just for the money.

“Global Warming”. PAH! “Human and Other Species Killing” more like.

“global warming was actually a good thing because of all the cool new crops we could grow.”

reminds me of this quote:

“Only on Fox: “All-Out Civil War in Iraq: Could It Be a Good Thing?”
Summary: Fox News featured two onscreen captions during a segment on escalating violence in Iraq that read: ” ‘Upside’ To Civil War?” and “All-Out Civil War in Iraq: Could It Be a Good Thing?”
A segment about escalating sectarian violence in Iraq on the February 23 edition of Fox News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto featured onscreen captions that read: ” ‘Upside’ To Civil War?” and “All-Out Civil War in Iraq: Could It Be a Good Thing?”

What’s next? Perhaps we’ll see these headlines soon:

I am not a lawyer, just a law-school graduate. Even if I were a lawyer, this is not the proper forum for giving legal advise. With whom would I be forming an attorney-client relationship – a fictitious name on an internet board? Besides, where would I send the bill for the time it takes me to research your questions? :-)

Please stop using all caps…it comes across as yelling at us. I don’t like being yelled at, even if I agree with the points being made. How you say something is as important as what you say. I tend to gloss over posts, from you or anyone else, that are in ALL CAPS. They’re just too hard to read, and by the time I get home from work, there are sometimes between 100 and 200 posts I scan through.

You can get my attention with well-reasoned articles, but not with ones written in all capitol letters.

Does anyone know of any studies that show how much carbon dioxide is put into the atmosphere from sodas and beer? And, yes, I’m being serious here.

You’re giving Bill O’Reilly fodder.
