Blogs – a consumer product? Blogging is mostly fun. Then a strange thing happens, one’s rating go up and you break into the top 25. Most of us don’t really blog for ratings but once the taste for success has been experienced, keeping the old ratings up can be a motivator. Another aspect is this;... Sign in to see full entry.

Standing in harm’s way.
Katrina flattens homes, are you safe? Anyone living on this planet could be wiped out by a catastrophe of some kind. Most of us are ill prepared to deal with such an event, much less survive in it’s wake. Do you have a two or three weeks supply of food and water in your homes? How would you cook if...

Lessons from a one-room schoolhouse.
Seldom seen these days, one-room schoolhouses used to dot the landscape. Slower and less reliable transportation made them a necessity, often being only 5 to 10 miles apart. I attended such a school from the 2 nd grade through the 8 th grade. My father had attended the same school, how many of you... Sign in to see full entry.

Who can we blame?
Alright, who caused Katrina, I want to know and I want to know now! Damnit, who cares about the bodies floating in the skanky brown cesspool that is downtown New Orleans, I want political blood. Surely we can tie this directly to Bush and global warming. No, wait, lets blame it on the racial... Sign in to see full entry.

According to Changing World Technologies website www.changingworldtech.com the process consumes “for every 100 BTUs available in our feedstock, approximately 15-20 BTUs are needed to provide energy for the plant.

The answer to our oil shortage is HERE right NOW.
With gas prices spinning dizzily out of control in the wake of Katrina, how do you like your giant SUV now? I know my motor home may not make the trip we were planning in September. The good thing is I don’t have to drive the damn thing to work. The aftermath of the storm should finally drive home... Sign in to see full entry.

High prices at the pump, why?
The means to release world consumers from the reigns of OPEC are here today. So what are they and why aren’t they being used? It is called “Thermal Depolymerization process” and plants are operating in several states as you read this. Why don’t we see more of it? Why didn’t you know about it before...

Act like a blogger.
A young girl’s plaintive emotional outburst caught my attention as I walked by the TV set. Then I realized it was only a drama and the girl was naught but an actor. So convincing was she in her performance it struck me that in her mind, she must have become her character. Then I considered bloggers.... Sign in to see full entry.

Evolution or Intelligent Design?
Was everything we know in life a result of the right chemicals being together at the right time giving rise to life, or, were we created by a superior being? Arguments have been flying about since Darwin proposed his revolutionary ideas on evolution. To be sure, the idea that life arose by a chance... Sign in to see full entry.

Tobacco Junkies.
Yes, junkies scoring legal fixes all day long. If you smoke, can you quit, just like that? Of course not, you are a junkie. My Grandfather was a tobacco junkie, it finally killed him. In the end, my Grandmother had to hold his cigarettes for him, he was too weak to do it himself. Dying of lung... Sign in to see full entry.
