How can I contribute to greening?
I am confident that Barack Obama will do so much more for the environment than any president ever, but there is something that Newsweek is reporting that has bothered me.
According to information that often leaks to the media, apparently he was sometimes irritated by the stupid questions that get asked to politicians by the media. For instance, NBC anchor Brian Williams asked him about “what’s a personal thing that you’ve done [that's green].” He told his aides that if he told Williams that “‘Well, I planted a bunch of trees.’ And he says, ‘I’m talking about personal.’ What I’m thinking in my head is, ‘Well, the truth is, Brian, we can’t solve global warming because I f—ing changed light bulbs in my house. It’s because of something collective’.”
I think that is the wrong attitude many people have. Can I really make an impact if I take a green shower or reduce my paper consumption by printing on both sides of the paper? The answer is yes, it does make a difference, just because if everyone would think that they wouldn’t do it because no one is doing it or that their contribution wouldn’t matter, nothing would change. When we all make a small change, we set examples for others to follow, and it does have an impact.
Is Todd Palin a moron?
According to first dude Todd Palin (husband of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and father of pregnant teenager mom Bristol Palin) that it is important to have a ticket that “supports our core values — hunting and fishing.”
Hmmm….that is news to me. I always believed that America’s core values were hard work, freedom, and meritocracy. If all Americans did is hunt and fish, we will be a bunch of hunters and gatherers, not the most powerful nation on earth.
What kind of moron is this guy? I guess he should just keep his mouth shut because he knows nothing about America. Plus, it is a fact that indiscriminate hunting and fishing will simply destroy our ecosystem and cause enormous damage to our country.
Moose killer Sarah Palin
It will be a sad day for (apart from Americans) animals and wildlife in America if Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is elected as the vice president. Apart from doing everything possible to destroy the environment in Alaska through her irresponsible call for drilling in ANWR, she has also promoted merciless killing of wolves (through a monetary incentive using taxpayer dollars). In this photo the so-called hockey mom Sarah Palin attempts to prove that somehow unless you mercilessly kill helpless animals you are not a real woman. I thought real women were nurturing creatures that provided comfort and protection to the weakest and vulnerables.
