Is is both ironic and interesting that the US is making such a big thing about the 5 year anniversary of hurricane Katrina. For now at this point in US history it is a significant event that overwhelmed the resources of the US. But unfortunately in the future it will be seen in a different light as just a routine big storm with typical and expected damage. Continue reading Post ID 10115

Need for green energy urgent
With big indicators saying the US economy may stall and do a double dip, and just about every place you look the economy looks like a country fair’s tractor pulling contest, the answer is becoming painfully obvious. The simple fact is due to political decisions of President George Bush, America is 6 to 8 years behind in technology and implementation of green energy. Continue reading Post ID 10115

The global warming scale
We humans like to attach numbers to things to make it easier to visualize and understand. For example we have a scale for the intensity of a hurricane, and also a scale for tornados. The higher the number, the nastier the storm. So the thought occurred we will need a scale for global warming as well and how nasty things are in a given area. Continue reading Post ID 10115

Pakistan’s crisis and the Osama bin Laden factor
It has been reported many times in the news that Osama bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan and that the Pakistan government probably knows where he is. So is there any real wonder why there has been a huge lack of private donations for disaster relief from the countries that see Osama bin Laden at the very top of the most wanted list.

Ground zero mosque
For Americans this is just one of those things where the laws of the land seem in error. This is not the first time it has happened as it is frequent in communities where religion and state tends to blend or clash in ways the Constitution frowns on. But in this case while troops are fighting and dying as a result of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, it spark strong feelings from coast to coast. Continue reading Post ID 10115

The convincer leaves little doubt
It was not that long ago Connecting the Dots talked about the opening shots nature is taking at humanity for causing global warming. But as par for the global warming predictions being too little and too late, we were totally taken by the numbers of dead and the millions affected. The scarey part, this is just the beginning.

Fat people
There it is right in your face, calling fat people fat. Trauma, tears, being upset that someone spoke the obvious that they were fat. But political correctness promptly smoothed that over so people would not be upset. At the same time political correctness removed a very key motivator to lose the fat. Continue reading Post ID 10115

Global warming the believe it or not mind game
It has been an interesting watch from the sidelines as some try to make people believe that global warming is a hoax. This and the emails saying data is wrong or distorted, is just part of the mind game. The question is who is behind this quasi conspiracy if anyone at all. Continue reading Post ID 10115

We are not in control of our lives
Never mind democracy or any form of government. Forget about thinking we decide our life’s path. Forget all that we were ever taught about how we control our own destiny. The unfortunate reality is we are little more than a dandelion seed in the wind. Continue reading Post ID 10115

Pheu Thai Party exercise in absurdity
It seems the Pheu Thai Party (PTP) is starting to undertake what looks to become an iconic signature for all their future political campaigns. Imagine if you would the new slogans of other political parties in Thailand along the lines of ‘Bail free politicians’. Once you see that you really begin to see how monumental the PTP blunder is likely to become by selecting someone in jail to run for the highly respected position of Member of Parliament.

Nature’s war with humans opening salvos
The one thing constant about global warming is our inability to nail down when things will start to get real bad. Things are happening far sooner than we could ever have imagined or predicted. So looking at the major weather swings that have started this year, it may well be that the start of the major disasters has arrived. Continue reading Post ID 10115

Oh what a mess this world of ours
If it seems like more things are going wrong in today’s world than in the past, you are not alone. It seems no matter where in the world you find yourself looking at, there is some sort of turmoil under way. Some of it is cause by nature, and some has been caused by man. The one difference is man is taking a bigger and bigger role in causing problems. Continue reading Post ID 10115

Greed key to man-made disasters
This could have been easily named ‘BP Unplugged’ or ‘Secrets to global economic meltdown’, but the problem is much wider than that. The human track record is very clear that when tempted by greed disasters happen, and they happen a lot. Continue reading Post ID 10115

Political views when viewing politics
One of the more difficult tasks when discussing politics is finding the right vantage point to see the journey as well as the destination. Often the path from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ is anything but a straight line so snapshots along the way can look way out of place. Continue reading Post ID 10115
