My hot tub is getting warmer
Bonibelle:
I wasn't going to comment here but there are no good snacks to eat in my refrigerator so here goes.
On the Imus situation: I think that as a country, we should feel accomplished. The two biggest civil rights icons have no more important issues to deal with than a stupid comment made by a crude talk show radio host. Who really cares and wouldn't it have been so much kinder to the basketball players to just blow it all off as a "consider the source" kind of thing? How much does it really mean when you look at the source? Sorry, but this whole thing was so very over blown!
Global warming? to deny that humans have contributed to changes on the earth and to the climate would be irresponsible. I can just look in my back yard for my evidence. I live in an area mostly comprised of farms...Until recently when Toll Brothers builders started taking a toll on all of us. They have just built a huge development covering much of the ground with concrete, roads and driveways. The result? Less land (surface area)to absorb and divert rain water to underground streams...We are already at flood stage in a local stream..for the amount of rain that we just got overnight as a result of this Nor'Easter, we should not yet be at flood stage..Am I saying this one developement did that? Of course not, but this is one of TOO MANY developments..that have changed the natural process of things. Does anyone know anything about displacement? Like when you remove something and use it to create something else? I am talking about removing badzillions of gallons of oil from the inside of the earth and burning it generating toxic gasses and heat. I wonder if it is too far fetched to imagine that pulling all that oil out of the ground could contribute to earth quakes ..Somebody tell me that is nuts, I want to know the answer to this.
Humans have been responsible for the extinction of animals, and major changes to the face of the earth, we build canals, cause errosion that pollutes and fills waterways blast through mountains, to name just a few things ..,..these are facts. We are awesome creatures that have found a way to do almost anything we can think of, with little regard to the long term consequences. We have filled the earth with trash that will never degrade.. We have polluted the oceans and our own drinking water with man made chemicals. So global warming may be the kindest thing that we have done so far!
NO, I didn't see the movie, and I probably won't see it..I don't need to, I just need to stay in tune with what is happening around us on a daily basis. Is it possible that we will feel the effect of this and that it won't just be something for future generations (whatever their life spans) to deal with? I think we are realizing that now. Yes the climate follows cycles, but isn't possible the actions of man have manipulated these cycles?..OH I don't want to forget our nuclear capabilities! We have the ability to cause a global warming of such magnitude that we won't have to worry about any of this and there will be anyone left to say "I told you so!!!!" :-/
To prevent further opions like this please send snacks to......: :o :o
In Canada eh:

Boni,
I just mailed a couple of twinkies your way ;D
I think that my opinion of global warming is probably the same as the silent majority.
Do I believe that as humans we have affected the environment?
With out a doubt I do
Is climate change cyclical?
Yes, I believe it is
Have we affected the environment as drastically as some feel we have?
No, I don't believe we have
Should we continue to search out more environmentally friendly ways to help
ensure the future of the planet ?
Without a doubt we should it is our responsibility too
Should we search out alternative fuels to ease our dependency on fossil fuels
Yes
Am I about to join Greenpeace and scale the sides of buildings or drive a zodiac into the way of a whaling ship?
No I probably won't
Will I continue to recycle plastics, glass, paper and other products and try not to leave a footprint while in the woods?
Yes
There are two very vocal opposing views on global warming but I think the majority of the population thinks about the same as I do
Bonibelle:
Your wise words and your twinkies would have prevented me from even commenting ;D ;D..Thanks

HEY! I used to be a "Heretic"....until our guild by that name disbanded some months ago. We even had some stuff on googlevideo.
"I live in an area mostly comprised of farms...Until recently when Toll Brothers builders started taking a toll on all of us. They have just build a huge development covering much of the ground with concrete, roads and driveways."
I hear that. My town is an older country town with a lot of farm's This past week I saw one of them being subdivided out with "lot for sale" signs all over it. Definatly a sad state of affairs. How anyone could live in a "cookie cutter" development with no trees is beyond me.
"Lastly,at what stage are we at,as far as the poles reversing?"
Seriously, possibly in 2012. Astronomers have already predicted a major alignment of the sun and planets with the center of our galaxy. What effect this will have on our planet is due to the gravitational forces is unknown. How something can be not aligned with what it is spinning around as a central point and then be aligned with it is beyond me.
Ya, i'm weird! ;D
/sends Bonibelle a bowl of "Ho-Ho Chowder" :)
Bonibelle:
If I had my "Powers of Deletion", Tommy, I would be obligated to delete your reference to "ho s". ::).and you said it 2X! :o No matter that those hos existed long before Imus's hos! ;D ;D Maybe they will be renamed Hahas
