As soon as I heard this song by Steve Earle I was instantly hooked. You don't really hear it on the radio, but I have heard it a few times on Pandora. I ran across this video on Youtube, it has the song and the lyrics. Have a listen, it is called Rich Man's War...
What do you think about this song?
Typical George W. Bush... Dragging his feet on climate change! I heard someone in the store today call him a devil... I myself am beginning to wonder! I can't wait for all those new nuclear power plants he talks about in the speech below, that way when we have a nice earthquake like the one in China the other day we can all become X-men mutants... It will be a great world! O wait or maybe we could use all that nuclear waste from all those new power plants and give it to Nevada to hold... after all if it's underground it is no problem right? All that clean coal too... I just can't wait! What a damn ignorant fool...
On a side note polar bears were put on the protected species list today... a step in the right direction, but what is this really going to accomplish. I have talked about climate change over the past couple years on this site, and it seems as if here in The United States nothing has really done nothing. The consequences are everywhere though, new studies come out all the time about how much ice is melting in Greenland, the Arctic and virtually ever other glacier in the world. Cyclones and tornadoes are ravaging parts of the world, but that's no real problem right? Let's all talk about the economy and how our poor house is going down in value... Get your head out of your ass!
Phew, glad I got that out... now let's take a look at the past 100 post here at Growing Growing Gone...

I could go on and on, but those are just some of the highlights from the past year. Thoughts are welcome...
Really not a tough question considering what the moron in office has done over the past 8 years... we need change and we need it 4 years ago! So, obviously I would vote Democratic whether it is Hilary or Obama I really don't care, because there is no way that I would consider McCain a fit candidate.
That being said if it is blowout, like I expect it to be and the Democrats are killing the Republicans in the polls this is who I am going to write in for president... Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont who is a Independent... that right an elected official that is not a Democrat or Republican! Who knew such a thing could even exist a politician that is not just a puppet show for special interests... crazy : )
I was beginning to think I was the only one that thought like this...
Exactly...
This video just released and is an updated version of Al Gore's famous slide show on climate change that was presented around the world. With ice levels continuing to shrink, and droughts around the world worsening over the past few years, I think people are finally beginning to realize that this is in fact a crisis.
It is so true that if we had a drought like the one in Australia the American people would have a much different view on how severe climate change really is. Just because it hasn't happened here yet doesn't mean that we won't see it in the future. We have already experienced droughts, wintertime tornadoes, increasing temperatures, massive hurricanes and more violent storms.
The time for our government to act is now! How about creating some manufacturing plants for solar panels and wind turbine plants? How about manufacturing much higher fuel efficient vehicles instead of wasting our tax dollars on a unpopular war that has accomplished next to nothing? Our economy is in the tank and this would be a great way to create jobs and help solve the climate crisis at the same time. What we need now is the government subsidies from the oil and coal industries to be transferred to wind, solar and geothermal. This is the simple solution, the problem is that the oil and coal industries are the ones pulling the strings on the puppet in the White House and many other government officials. What is your say?
This clip is both very funny and very disturbing... You have to admit though Iraq was one of the biggest mistakes in modern history. At least we can discuss it here in the states unlike in China where they sensor the Internet...
This video highlights a lot of the different things that I have talked about in this blog over the past two years... for those of you who missed it, the planet is warming the glaciers are melting, droughts are increasing, wildfires are increasing, storms are becoming even more severe just like the tornadoes that hit Atlanta last night. Or how about the tornadoes that hit New York last year or the massive tornadoes that hit us in the middle of wintertime. These are far from normal occurrences and I am afraid things are just going to get worse until something is done...
"You are putting words in my mouth, just like the way you put artificial facts in your head." That was one of the best lines I have ever heard come out of David Letterman's mouth! It is funny that O'Reilly kept saying Bush was a evil man, running this country... hmmm perhaps he is starting to catch on after all! The facts are actually quite simple... we went over there because George W. Bush said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction... there were no weapons of mass destruction and there is no link between Iraq and 9-11... funny that most of the hi-jackers were from Saudia Arabia yet we don't even think about doing anything to them... afterall they give us lots of oil will no problems at all. The fact that Bill O'Reilly admitted it is all about oil says it all. American blood for oil... does that sound like a good idea to you?
