Al Gore going to the extreme? Try population control..

It always makes me nervous when men of power want to ‘curb’ the population or ‘stabilize’ the population.

A few facts: Russia has warned of a population crisis.. even Vlad the Putin wanted to have a national day of love making to help spur some more babies. And how would less kids help take care of the ever aging American population?

But even more, deeper, and more profound: The thought of population control could start as a great suggestion but end up being forced.. No? .. nah, eugenics never occurred, right? No big corporations and government agencies ever teamed up to try to stunt population growth—albeit then it was to help get rid of the pesky “unfit” folks. Maybe a new environmental eugenics is upon us?

I just wish, in the end, science would take over this debate and politics would get out of it. Climate change is real.. global warming—and cooling—is real. El Nino and La Nino is real. And pattern change is real. What is absurd is that we are not prepared for either intense hurricanes from intense global heat, extreme sea level rises—or even flash ice ages that occur when sunspots die away.

Politics… environment. Oh they just should not mix……

Now I can see what the markets stunk while Bernanke spoke.. The newest information from the FED-head chairman: No clue why the economy stinks.

This was TIME’s person of the year for ‘saving’ the economy—a year when the economy wasn’t saved but driven even further into the toilet.

Vampire Weekend - I’m Goin’ Down (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

Roger Ebert had an outpouring of generosity during his medical problems...

But apparently can’t return the favor now that someone in the entertainment world is DEAD.. Ebert’s Tweet mocking the death of Ryan Dunn has set off a firestorm of controversy.. Dunn drove drunk, yes, but with him dead now how will sarcastic jokes on the stupidity of drunk driving help anything?

Teenager arrested in relation to Sony hacks

John McCain lights a firestorm: He said that there is 'evidence' that illegal immigrants are partly to blame for massive Southwest wildfires

Finally, the news media has realized that the Midwest flooding is threatening nuke plants

The story has been alive and well on blogs and independent websites for several days, but now real media attention (tongue in cheek there) is beginning to issue some press on the story of Fort Calhoun and Nebraksa.. The NEW YORK TIMES running a piece about Fort Calhoun and the Cooper Station.. Also revealed: Cooper was near a shutdown..

Officials still say there are no worries. And I hope they are right. I think most people hope they are right. But I also hope the media begins to pay attention to some stuff that has importance for humanity, including ‘unusual’ events at nuke plants during flooding.. It took days before anyone mainstream even reported it.

This is how the AP reports it:

"The Supreme Court blocked the largest sex-discrimination lawsuit in U.S. history on Monday, siding with Wal-Mart and against up to 1.6 million female workers in a decision that makes it harder to mount large-scale bias claims against the nation’s other huge companies, too"

Harder to mount bias claims is an understatement.. what an amazing decision from the Supreme Court.

Some truly horrific details emerge about an infant's killing in Pennsylvania

"Barrise eventually gave birth to a baby girl in Fitzpatrick’s vehicle.

The baby landed on the floor. No one touched the crying baby. All of this took place in front of the eleven year old.

Fitzpatrick told Barrise they were not keeping the baby because they could not afford it.

Court papers go on to say Fitzpatrick drove Barrise and his sister to their home at the Hideout with the baby on the floor of his vehicle.

Before he pulled out, he told Barrise he was going to get rid of the baby.

Barrise asked for a third time if he was going to kill it and again, he did not respond.

Fitzpatrick said he went to his workplace in the woods behind M n’ D Lawn and Tree Care.

There, according to the court papers, he killed the baby, hitting her twice with a cinderblock, and left the cinderblock on top of the baby”

I first was very emotional when I read this story… I then became enraged with anger..

It amazes me how often people make the choice to kill a baby instead of doing something sensible like adoption or even leaving at a hospital.. Killing somehow becomes an option for people. What does that say about society…
Some truly horrific details emerge about an infant's killing in Pennsylvania

For those who would be interested...

…last night’s Coast to Coast AM project, hosted by Ian Punett, had a pretty interesting topic: A professor discussed how the primitive, animalistic underside of human nature, with its sexual fantasies and homicidal tendencies, has actually given rise to the most positive features of our race.

It’s worth listening to if you should do be inclined..

The Republicans may as well have just had someone come out and performed in blackface!

A little tension after an Obama impersonator, Reggie Brown, crossed the line during a comedic bit at the Republican Leadership Contest.

POLITICO reports:

"The Obama impersonator, Reggie Brown, said that while the First Lady celebrated all of Black History Month, the bi-racial president only celebrated half the month.

Brown also said: “My mother loved a black man, and she was not a Kardashian.”

Flashing a picture on the screen of Fred Sanford of “Sanford and Son” fame, the comedian said that’s what Obama would look like when he got older.”

POLITICO went on to report: “As Brown was preparing to make a Michele Bachmann joke, one of the conference’s officials came out to the lectern and told the comedian to leave the stage.”

If I was closer today I would be there, or at least try to. Hopefully for those who live near here you will be there, too, or try to..

Father's Day, first edition

First off, it’s my hope that I will have plenty more Fathers Days ahead of my in life.. But it’s still surreal to think that here I am, in the year 2011, ten years after turning the immature and tender age of 21, and I have a child. A wife. A job.. Bills. Insurance payments. And all of the other things which match up to adulthood in some way..

I have a few things in life to look forward to, a few things to dread. When the moment arrives of parent teacher conferences, or nightly sporting events, or piano recitals, or speeches (whichever my son so chooses to be interested in), I may find those nights overly busy and stomach-ached due to late night fast food dinners. But it will go by so fast that I won’t have any way to even absorb the importance at times of what is truly happening around me..

It is my first Father’s Day. And my son is four months young, as I age tremendously fast.

The amazing thing in life I never would have thought of as important is this: Parents make the life of their children number one and abandon selfishness. At least my wife and I did..

Father’s Day indeed..
2011.
My time is flying by.
