Greenpeace is for flamers...

I just watched an ABC News video on Yahoo! that directly linked the Iowa floods and global warming, stating that carbon emissions "can directly affect you, your home, your life"(not direct quote) . Even the White House issued a statement, contrary to its usual rhetoric, linking climate change and the increased rainfall. They showed a nuclear power plant beside flooding fields. Point #1: Nuclear power will actually decrease the amount of man-made carbon in the atmosphere. This stable and constant power supply creates 3% of the air pollution that natural gas refineries push out, according to Wired. Air and solar are NOT constant. The nuclear fuel is a different story. Point #2: The temperature of the oceans dropped 1 degree in 2007. Granted, I remember my source being an article I read in the paper, but I believe it was Fahrenheit. The oceans take longer to warm or cool than does the Earth's surface, which can also be affected by a multitude of factors, such as eruptions and El Nino. This temp. change was recorded by a NASA laser-weather satellite, which is more accurate than politicians. Point #3: If "global warming" is actually a threat, then why is it being presented as theater? For instance, An Inconvenient Truth was untruthful in a few aspects: that Katrina's devastation (being a dismal Category 2) is not to blame for the destruction of N.O., and that the oceans aren't going to rise out of nowhere and swamp coastal cities (according to the E-Team, "A 2005 study in the Journal of Glaciology by a NASA scientist concludes that there is a net loss of ice that will result in higher sea levels. But the loss is occurring slowly: 0.05 millimeters on average per year.At that rate, it will take a millennium for the oceans to rise 5 centimeters (roughly 2 inches) and 20,000 years to rise a full meter."), and so forth. This is just another way for eco-fanatics to finally muscle their way into American politics through shifting public consensus by bombarding the media with "statistics", computer models, and celebrity opinions. And who is going to pay for this? Those people who are being sold the idea. The tax that was attempted in the House to cut carbon emissions was estimated to cost each taxpayer approximately $3,200. It never succeeded, but the talks are that it will be recirculated next year, pending the outcome of the fall election. I feel that we are casting our opinions before the facts are even in. I could blog on for days about the subject, but you probably quit reading this anyways by this point. Sorry for wasting your time with this massive paragraph...

White slavery

I took this idea from a Newsradio episode!

Therefore…. It plans life…. It plans life…. I the possession do none! With that, entire abundance or other than the famous gig, but for the present the isn't panning and I don't of ; The air does honestly we would like to put in place necessary effort. What kind of I' ?; M where the fact that you say is really tried is as follows: I may ride in the [so] which your rear is done? I really indentured forced labor still desire the fact that it is. I me this how doing with me who am forced to white subordinate, possess the fear of finishing, but you abandon my life of 7 years easily at this point in time, it is possible for land stay of position of work and the foreign country to go.

See? I really should do all of my blogs like this. Why the hell do my Joe Cool PJs smell like soy sauce? I am at a loss....

A sad day in Fargo...

I just heard the news: the total smoking ban has taken place. While this may be "a win for persons' rights to live healthy" as some people may tell you, this is a total crock. Restaurants, understandable. Public workplaces, even more so. But bars? Are bars family-friendly, health-oriented establishments? These locations had adequate ventilation as mandated by North Dakota law and complied with all state regulations. Alcohol and cigarettes just go hand-in-hand, as any smoker/ex-smoker will tell you. This was passed due to overzealous "concerned" citizens, who care not for businesses' rights, but instead selfish personal agenda. Do these people even frequent said places? Do they not see the revenue that it brings in? I feel most sorry for places such as JT Cigarro, who will undoubtedly be driven to extinction. I wonder: can you buy a cigar there now and just go outside to smoke it? These establishments were warm and friendly. I feel guilty for not going to fine Moorhead bars when I lived there (such as the Juano's Latin bar) in order to smoke and have a lager across the Red. Now, I'm glad I can go to a local place and light up much to my own content. Fargo has let itself become anal due to rule of fanaticism.

Smoking Mirror

This town... suffocates me. Too many memories keep creeping up into my psyche, haunting me of what was a terrible adolescence. I think I've gotten hammered near every night I've been back. What's more, there's no cultural outlet that isn't on the Internet or one of my distance-challenged friends. I feel like I'm isolated, working some Siberian mining camp. Not to discount my friends that are still here, because I love all of you to death. I just feel that this town doesn't exactly have what I'm seeking out (like cheap Heineken, for example). This entire part of North Dakota doesn't have what I'm seeking out: culture in the form of movies and music, fantastic hookups, and sexual fetishism that I can support. I feel like a total oddity. I can't do this for much longer. If I don't escape, I fear damaging repercussions. I know I've been overly dramatic lately, but it's a reaction to memories that have been drudged up again and amplified 1000 times, just for being back. It's almost like I'm admitting defeat.... again. I want therapy. I crave such an idea, hoping that such such a thing could actually cure me from my standstill in life. I have no motivation whatsoever to better myself, and it could quite possibly be related to being trapped in the past. I have evolved faster than this town ever will and am paying the consequence for my enlightenment. I cannot help that I was born this way, as how I cannot help that I am a product of my environment. My problem is that my environment shaped me to be a character lacking in self-confidence, who needs guidance but is reluctant to seek it out. I need help. I feel that a perfectly good head is being destroyed by self-doubt and a lack of desire to better oneself. This is self-destructiveness at its purest form. This is a ticking time bomb.

googley eyes...

AdSense is weird. Apparently I support Dixie Chicks mp3 downloads from a website called dada, which is an art movement directly out of Salvadore Dali's deepest thoughts. Do I support such things, really? Is this the subtext that my writing delivers? I fear that I am only a pawn in the game of life.... (drunk this time)
