Past Climate change caused chaotic civilization chops

http://news.yahoo.com/climate-change-helped-bring-down-cultures-215100214.html 

The Earth's Climate is changing faster than ever before.  

Actions do speak louder than words, and having no children by choice says a lot!

Denialists cannot accept that our traditional way of coping with Nature (throw technology at it) will NOT work.

Iran - to bomb or not to bomb (My Jewish Journal Editorial debut)

MY LETTER TO THE EDITOR PUBLISHED IN THE JEWISH JOURNAL.  COOL BEANS... 

In reply to a point/counterpoint from two policy wonks debating the merits of military or diplomatic means when working with Iran. 

"When did elective war (or act of war) become an acceptable means to an end?

 

Can anyone explain a moral basis for a "preemptive attack" on Iranian assets, especially when no one really knows that they are building bombs?"

How not to do social network engineering..."4 people you might know on Google+"

Oh, how wonderful are email blasts.  

Go out and touch your customer...this is what passes as relationship building in the age of mass mobile marketing.

Cost to google?    $zero.  

Loss of trust in Google as a whole? almost complete  

Value to google: Much Less Than $Zero

Why "force" the network connections?  Just bring us an infrastructure that's compelling and we're yours.

Let's see, might I know any?

No

No

Yes

It seems WAAAAY too much like the couch in the frat house in Animal House, four guys who will NEVER get into that frat...

Like doing the limbo, how low can you go?

On 2012

I'm having a better than average start to a year, on every possible level.

If you hadn't heard, I'll share my 30 years (base 19) of observation that informs me: 

The purpose of life is to enjoy every moment you can. 

Happiest possible remainder of 2012 and beyond - to all!

Peace, FRISH

Poster Child for NRA (and her mom too!)

...snip...

McKinley, who had been widowed less than a week before, placed a couch in front of one door and went to the bedroom and put a bottle in her baby's mouth before calling 911...

...snip...

Martin, 24, was found between the door and a couch with a knife clutched in his gloved left hand, police said.

"Taking back America" *per Rick Santorum

Dear Editors:  

"Taking back America" - Santorum says it.  

Doesn't sound very inclusive.

He talks about dismantling every significant safety regulation and eliminating corporate taxes.

Why isn't he talking about "Sharing the goodness of America with those who are not yet benefiting enough?"

My fervent hope is that God, to whom Rick claims he owes so much, sets him straight and soon.

Yes, "INJECTION WELLS" caused earthquakes in Ohio...here's some of the oil industry apologists

"He said 177 deep injection wells have operated without incident in Ohio for decades and the Youngstown well was closed within 24 hours of a study detailing how close a Christmas Eve quake was to the well.

The industry-supported Ohio Oil and Gas Association said the rash of quakes was "a rare and isolated event that should not cast doubt about the effectiveness" of injection wells.

Such wells "have been used safely and reliably as a disposal method for wastewater from oil and gas operations in the U.S. since the 1930s," the association's executive vice president, Thomas E. Stewart, said in a statement Monday.

The real and near term issue is FRACKING, which is so obviously destructive without our being able to counteract the damage. 

Why would anyone be nervous? 

 

Just more of the unassigned costs of petroleum.--

Unintended Consequences: Demand for "Organic" Food causes environment degradation

Organic Food - It's what's for dinner...Oh, can't get a fresh tomato this week? It's criminal I tell ya!

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/31/science/earth/questions-about-organic-produce-and-sustainability.html 

It only makes sense, there are so many of us buy local can't happen (year round).

We'd have to eat what was in season, near us.  

Or things that were canned, frozen, dried or otherwise prepared to last through non-harvest seasons...

Like Grandma used to do (or Great Grandma perhaps...).

Consumers aren't really in charge of much...or knowledgeable, or concerned...
