I promised the gret nephews I'd take them and my niece out to the lake
for some serious tubing today, but one of the boys has a bad dose of

the year that spring never ended. I dont' think tomorrow afternoon is
tied up so I'll see what I can do if the kid isn't still sick, but
probably wopn't be going then either.


Oh well....


Kind of a disapointment actually. I love spending time with the kids!

That damn global warming is a bitch!

There is none, despite all of the data telling us otherwise, the right
wing politicians are telling all of you that it isn't happening. I'm
glad that Greenland realizes it really is happening, though, the
retreating ice has opened up a lot of areas for mining in their country.

I had a young engineer approach me a few years ago while I was taking
Pro/Engineer training and asked me what I thought of global warming. I
was training on the swing shift, and the second shift guys spent a lot
of time discussing current events. I told the young man that I was
all for it. The young engineer practically went apoplectic. "Well,
what about the children?" he remonstrated. I told him that I thought
the children would enjoy the change as well. Another engineer nearby
laughed upon overhearing the conversation and the young man harumphed
and marched off. There are a few things about the entire conversation
on global warming that have puzzled me for some time. It's my opinion,
and I believe it be based on good information, that the people that
most invest in the fact of global warming likewise have purchased the
fact of evolution. And in my various discussions with these
particular folks, evolution is nothing more than change. There is no
purpose, and there is no empyrean force directing it. It is simply
change, and people should learn to accept that. Likewise, these same
folks generally have adopted the idea that there is no hope of an
afterlife. Death is an inevitability that simply must be accepted,
and to try to find some way to escape it, through the conjure of
superstition or otherwise, is foolish. People should just accept that
there is a finality to life and nothing follows. To me, it's an odd
thing that these same persons that share these views would sound such
a vociferous alarm about the possible fiction of global warming. If
global warming or "climate change" is a fact, then I have no problem
with accepting that. But the verdict is still out. There are many
qualified experts that haven't subscribed to the 'danger' of global
warming as being a factual dynamic. Even still, if evolution stands
as an accurate model, why resist change? It's simply change and a
reasonable person should simply accept change. And if the human race
should come to extinction, what is the harm? In fact, isn't that a
palatable solution to the whole affair? If man is such a threat to
nature and the physical world by virtue of his own folly, wouldn't
nature be better off with his extinction? And life offers no real
hope for better things, since any notion of better things suggest that
man experentially has an appreciation that life has better things to
offer, why would anyone resist a simple change in the physical world,
even if that change could potentially eradicate the human race, as
pitiable as it is. Perhaps someone sometime will provide some
reasonable answers to this conundrum. No one has yet, to my
satisfaction.
