hey pastafarian-

Haha. Sorry about the rant. It was a response to Simon’s “Al” comment. Before the rant, I was just really expressing my opinion that even the big guys can make a difference and that nothing is black and white. I still think some people act a bit cynical to the point of being naive but, at least I’m trying to do my part to make a difference. Just think if you multiply that effort by 100… or 1,000… or more?
However, cool wallpaper idea.I like it and I think i might go black, myself. Oh wait, my wallpaper *is* almost all black.lol
Thanks for the heads up on the public mothering. I’ll behave now:P

Hey meow, if thats the way you want to live fine. good for you. Why not just live your life and stop scolding others about what they should do to solve the problems of the world?

You know scolding very often has the exact opposite effect on a lot of people. If you want to talk to someone like they’re a child often they’ll act like one. I for one have already changed my wallpaper to almost all black. You know to save energy. Like Google. Want one? You can find it here.

So what are you doing about the problem?

You’re lookin’ at it.

So what are you doing about the problem? Yeah, the big wigs are problem just typical rich pieces of bat guano but, really, the problem lies with the ordinary man. So,if you do see a problem with your world, all you have to do is look into the mirror to see who is really at fault. I’m not saying you have to be perfect or a saint but all it takes is changing a few bad habits. It doesn’t have to happen overnight but just getting you and a few friends to say no to things like over-packaging, take-out food packages and making a conscious effort to start bringing your own grocery bags to the store is all you need to do to make an impact. So, instead of whining about what the richies are doing, let’s take a lesson from them(awareness in itself can be a good lesson to learn)and try and inspire those around us to take action. I’m not even a hippie and I know that. Even if you aren’t an environmentalist, shouldn’t you at least make a limited effort to take care of your world? You don’t just throw your trash on the ground, do you? It’s just so easy to make the change.
Also, although there were some really great points to gleen from Mr. Gore, I firmly believe in the motto ” don’t believe in most of what you here and only half of what you see”. A lot of that movie and Al’s efforts are based on valuable, well-researched information but, with most politicians and people in the spotlight… you can’t just take everything as true. I make my decisions based on logic and the reality of the world I see. Not on the absolute words of any one.. or a few individuals.

although you can tele-conference, it still is a shaky technology that can never replace face to face negotiations or planning.

Or manservants with wine gourds. Or bikini girls!

However, you’d have to be blind to not understand how important the climate issues are.

Whatever you say, Al.
