I have been very busy in the last month and have neglected my blog. I have even experimented with another blog program (offered to Opera Web Browser users, of which I am one -- sometimes).
Anyway, the main problems that I feel are worth writing about keep on happening, and I must put in my two tenths of a cent.
The Situation: Politics, Science, Time, Energy, Space.
Politics is the art of lying, naming it diplomacy, and pretending it is noble.
Science is the opposite of Politics, the art of telling the truth in the driest manner that steps on the most toes and yet -- pretending it is noble.
Time goes by, draining our lives into the blackness of future death, only sooner or later depending on how well we use the time left.
Energy is consumed. The only thing that stops energy from being consumed is the fact that energy runs out. The last drop of gasoline is burned, the last coal is shoveled into the boiler, the last log is thrown into the hearth.
Space is plentiful, although habitable space decreases rapidly as the number of inhabitants increases.
Politics needs space, time and energy to diplomatically lie about what problems they promised to address when elected. They quickly use up all of it, and solve no problems.
Science is very good at pinpointing the exact problems, the exact amount of time needed and the exact amount of energy needed, as well as the exact amount of space required for implementation. Rarely is there enough of any one item, and usually there is a lack of all elements. Science is not magic and cannot conjure up elements from thin air.
Time ticks by, closer to that last feeble beat of the heart before it ceases.
Energy, which in animals depends on food, air, water, a beating heart and functioning brain, can never be enough for the simple fact of entropy-- the reduction of orderly stuff into disorderly stuff is relentless.
Gore has already went out on a loop to tell his environmental chaos stories. Anti-alarmists are out anti-alarming people in droves. They have decided that all scientists are evil (except Republican scientists) and everyone else who points out such uneasy facts to the King Without Clothing is thereafter doomed to a sneering disregard.
Global Climate problems are not best asked of humans -- ask the animals. Ask the plants. Which animals migrate where? Which ones are unable to survive. Just count the dead ones. And watch where the cockroaches go. If cockroaches can't live someplace, it ain't going to be a good place for humans to live.
