NEW CROSSES

x





The images above were created from
the photo at the top, utilizing a wonderful
little piece of software titled "Kaleider."
Inexpensive, incredibly versatile, and fun to boot.
If you contact tech support (by PHONE or e-mail),
Jeff Holcomb, the INVENTOR, is your advisor (??!!!??).
No, I am not a paid shill for the company,
I just love tools for the imagination.
"Kaleider" is just one of a number of graphics
programs that Jeff has developed.
This is real, real neat stuff.

THE OBSCENITY OF GLOBAL WARMING

x






.
I think that the Greenhouse situation is a lot like alcoholism.
 It isn't one moment or one single drink that does you in. Can there be a single "a-ha moment' when you realize that civilization has moved from social drinking (of oil and coal) into a substance-dependent, blackout situation? As an individual, when you're on that slippery slope, there probably is some moment of revolt when your sense of dignity is offended. You wake up in a pool of your own vomit for instance, or find your clothes ripped off by some total stranger. Time to put the cork in the bottle. Find something more life-affirming to do with your time. Unfortunately our society can't rally the way a person can. So instead, we're ending up with these grotesque affronts massive heat waves, dying coral reefs, huge floods and so on, popping out across the face of the planet like an alcoholic's veins. But we're in denial about the Greenhouse thing.

Mankind's "stewardship" of the planet
is a horrible joke, but the joke will be on us.
It's just a question of time.
