Wow, has it been a long time since I wrote on this blog. I will write more often. Well, much has happened since the last time I wrote. Since that was years ago. Been very busy with life, etc... Osama Bin Laden was killed this past week. I am not happy that anyone ever is killed. I am a pacifist, so it goes against my beliefs. When Sept. 11th happened I have to say I wasn't surprised. I wondered if we would be attacked like that at some point. As a country we have exploited poorer, less developed countries for soo long, it was just a matter of time. I believe if it wasn't Bin Laden it would have been someone else eventually. I am not saying I believe what he did is right, I don't. What he did was cowardly and inexcusable, but not surprising. I was actually amazed by the surprise of people by the whole incident. The United States has learned alot from that experience. 1) We are not isolated in this world; 2) There are consequences for exploiting others; 3) The world is full of crazy zealots willing to kill and die to make a point (regardless of how irrational that point may be); 4) As a country, the U.S. people really need to examine what is important-money, power, influence, or being good, responsible, sharing neighbors on this earth. I think we are starting to realize these things, but we are still decades out. I believe humans are going to do themselves in. The icecaps are melting people. Something serious is happening. That doesn't just happen. I don't believe the planet can continue to support 6-10 billion people without some catastrophic failure of some sort--be that global warming or mass extinction. God will even the playing field and the earth will go back to a homeostasis of sorts. While humans may decline considerably due to climate change and other natural disasters, the earth will be here and it will continue--with or without us. I hope it isn't too late. Gosh sounds gloomy....!
Well, it's been a bit since I wrote. So, I thought I would. I don't really pay that much attention to the news--it depresses me and I feel it is sensationalistic. It purposely focuses on all of the bad in humanity and seldom, especially now-a-days focuses on what is good in humanity. I guess it is all about ratings. I have been so out of the loop that even my wife knew something that I didn't. I didn't know that there was a recall on all the spinach in the U.S. I was at Wal-Mart (yes, that is another discussion altogether) and I was buying food. I was going to buy one of those bags of spinach. I don't know what brought me to want that, I usually buy it fresh, but anyway...I went up the counter and they said I couldn't buy it. I kept thinking....what am I going to snort this shit or what. It's spinach, let me buy it! Then my wife said, you didn't hear about the spinach recall? And I said "what spinach recall". Then she told me....T...
