A Thought About Global Warming

An interesting future Al Gore wants to force upon the world. He has championed the effort to educate the masses of dire peril seeking them to make sacrifices in their lives to save the planet yet he puts himself above those same sacrifices. He prefers to purchase carbon credits so he can have the right to pollute. Is this going to save the planet Al? Why not just 'pay off' global warming and maybe it'll go away and leave us alone. I say that tongue in cheek of course.

My views on the issue are much more realistic. I do see signs of periods of global warming that do appear to be tied to stellar events but I see no evidence that man is the cause of it. However I do see pollution to be a significant issue.

Here is how it gets sticky. Al's solution is to cut back on energy usage. I assume he means the kind that pollutes. To keep a long story short the solutions the global warming crowd proposes could result in a very hungry world. They are clearly trying to cut off the sources of energy that feed the world before their is a suitable replacement for it.

Rather than proposing some solutions for a world that has a destiny not to hear, I think it best to put forth a question. How long will it be after Al's crowd get their solution before the human pain becomes clear and they begin blaming it all on excessive population? Life becomes very cheap in places were excessive population is a problem. Population control is a destiny the world will have to face. Many human tragedies can be traced to societal beliefs that sex and babies is a right and not a privilege. This is a societal belief that the world cannot endure much longer.

Child Rape And The Death Penalty

This issue of child rape is indeed serious but America continues to turn it into a joke. American cities and towns are saturated with child molesters. So much so that about every 4th block of any town has a registered sex offender living there statistically. A sex offender must be registered or face jail time. The thing is most of these criminal types look at this and jail time as a badge of honor and manhood. They do not fear it. It is a joke.

So should their be a death penalty for child rape? Well yes but not any more. God indeed has ordered the death penalty stopped but a suitable punishment has been ordained instead. God indeed has ordered that only male virgin can have female virgin and any males that break this law are to have their dongs (penis) cut off entirely. Child molesters and other violators of this law need to learn that their sex life is over.

Will this kind of law come to pass in America? Not likely. For one reason the US Constitution has a clause forbidding cruel and unusual punishments. Cruel and unusual. Think about it. This is entirely and totally a matter of someone's opinion. Their is no way to logically quantify cruel or unusual. The fact that such an ambiguous statement was put into a body of law is, well a, it is a joke.

Bugs In The Food

Have you ever thought much about it? How many bugs you eat in a given week. I know. I know. You don't like to think about it. How many bugs are in that bag of corn chips you like so much. But the fact is, you eat 'em. I live in an agricultural area. This knowledge is a fact of life around here.

This points out a problem with food labels. They never tell what the grasshopper content of your chips are and even more importantly how fattening they are. The last time I found an opportunity to tell a guy that he stopped chewin' and dazed off. It was fun.

Now It's Cantaloupes

Now I'm hearing in the news about the new hysteria over listeria in cantaloupes. I've heard of one boy who became ill but it isn't known if they made any attempt to cook it.

In case you city folks don't know vegetables and other foods are grown in fields out in the open. Flies and other bugs crawl all over it. Birds come to get the bugs and they relieve themselves all over it. And varmits and other critters root around all in it. If you eat it raw you take the risk. If you don't want the risk then cook it.

If you don't cook it then any lawsuit has no merit.

 Here is the pasteurization method I use on raw veggies and I even do this with lettuce before I eat it. First get a large enough container to hold the produce then fill with water and bring to a boil. Then remove heat and immerse produce. The object is to get it hot enough long enough to kill the germs.

The worst food story I ever heard. This is from back in the 1970's when I was a young escapist who wanted to sail a yacht around the world. I read a book about a couple doing just that and they told of going into a market in Mexico. This is where they saw people there spraying RAID on the meat to keep the flies away. This is when they decided to eat only what the caught themselves from then on.

The Zero Sum Game

Often times you here of pundits like Rush Limbaugh speak of the zero sum game. Life is not a zero sum game they say. If all would pursue money and profits in the capitalistic ideal then all would be prosperous. Clearly such need to think about it some more. True their is enough resources in the world to satisfy all but their is not enough money for everybody to be a millionaire although Obama is making a Herculean effort to do just that.

Any time money is involved it is always a zero sum game. The books must balance or you go to jail. If you did print enough money for everybody to be a millionaire then the economy would crash with spiraling inflation. With money, which is in essence capitalism, you will have winners and losers and sometimes it's the lucky and not the deserving. It is human nature to hoard it stingily and greedily which admittedly has its origin in the survival instinct.

Don't think I have anything against hard work, self reliance and prosperity because I consider myself the poster boy for this. It is just anytime money is part of your prosperity equation then you have that one more big hurdle to leap over.

On this note I want to announce that I'm beginning a serious of posts from time to time that will highlight the dark truths of capitalism so as to educate the masses on the superiority of the entirely new Messian Utopian trade concept. Their is a flaw that keeps capitalism, socialism and communism from ever achieving the results that their visionaries have desired. That flaw is money itself and the inefficiencies in the exchange thereof. Stay informed.
