No matter how many times I tap my compass, North is still North, etc. etc.

We must find some ways to become more activist, more effective, yet operate within our own judgement scale of right and wrong.

We are losing the battle with the greedybastids like shooter who don’t give a @*&% what’s gonna happen in the future, just so long as they’re comfy right here & now.

We? We as a species. We as THE most powerful cognizant, potentially logical, force in our world.

Some biologists believe the best thing that could happen for the sake of the very survival of our world is the extinction of human life. They do not advocate such a horrible thing. All they mean to imply is that humans are most probably the single most destructive force in our world. They are serious. That’s how great the danger of ignoring the idiots who think they can make a quick buck and skate free.

There are consequences to acting in such an insane manner.

There are also consequences to ignoring people who seem not to care a whit about future generations.

No joke. No threat from me, ever. Just calling it as some very fine people, a lot smarter than I, see it. Some very intelligent, very compassionate, very hard-working and well trained people are very, very worried about the future of our world. Really. It has a lot to do with protecting our environment and planning for the future.

so, apologies for the interruption.

No. I’m not ’round-the-bend nuts, or at least that has nothing to do with the thots expressed above.

There’s another thing.

Find multiple ways to support Waxman’s efforts.
(hint: have you called your congresscritter? ALL those running for prez or veep??? Waxman – to encourage and ask how to help?)

Rinse and repeat.

This money should be used or lost — and not just used for monumental infrastructure. Universities should be held to higher standards or deprived of federal funds, direct or indirect. That might move some of these restrictive endowment terms into the courts for reframing, pronto.

If the schools want to make the argument their endowment accruals are justified based on investment risk, they are making the wrong investments. It appears at some schools the investment managers are paid more (much more) than faculty and senior administration – y’know, market rates and all. This is a dead give away something is out of kilter.

There’s one thing we can do.

Rinse and repeat.

Keep America’s Largest Forest Off of the Chopping Block

thank you.

EXTINCTION IS FOREVER

What do you treasure? Is it still here? For how long?

I discovered Molly Ivins years ago, and read pretty much everything she wrote. She knew. She & Lou DeBos, and a few others. They knew the danger. They warned this country repeatedly, with citations and concrete-solid reasoning and heart and soul.

Because of her efforts, WE as a society knew. We did not stop that dang brush-cutter and his puppeteerS. We ALL bear some responsibility for allowing them to well nigh destroy this nation and everything it stands for.

that’s all.

apologies…
