What would the world be like if ppl quit thinking that God wanted this or that for them so they must fight for it? We *still* have Old Testament tendencies, even with all the wonders science places before us.<br /><br />I have to turn the new off a lot now. I'm becoming too cynical. I just turn it off and take my kids into the woods.<br /><br />CindiGumbyandPokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618133692385105430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797156419109968733.post-19158490268433193072011-10-13T09:38:58.545-04:002011-10-13T09:38:58.545-04:00Hi Dave,
Oh I guess you are in one of these period...Hi Dave,<br />Oh I guess you are in one of these periods of thought I often go through (well every day). As an Evolutionary scientist, I very often listen to people about the way they live and their believes.... And I share the same point of views than yours. I still see hope in their eyes and thought, but the truth is there: Listen people, soon or late ( I think sooner than later), whatever you do, the human kind will disappear... Why??? A species to survive, whatever is the level you consider, develops an altruistic behavior (not during breeding time thought). Have you seen any in the current human life? How many people can see somebody falling on the ground without giving a hand??? How many people are stopping to give some food to people in the street? How many rich people help poor people? How many children are dying everyday without help? I, also, think that we are going straight into the wall with this money and banking system which is good for rich but not for others! Let's fuck the system, don't put your money in the banking system anymore ;-)<br />I love this post Dave, and some of us have to do that time to time and I might do one about Iceland on my blog!!Chrishttp://chrisphotonature.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797156419109968733.post-76446714649747491302011-10-13T06:21:47.356-04:002011-10-13T06:21:47.356-04:00Right on!!

Unf...Hey Dave, I couldn't agree with you more.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the majority of wars fought since humans have roamed the earth have been for religious reasons. The problem is that organized religions all believe that their beliefs are the only truth. Pretty sad and short sighted in my opinion.<br /><br />As far as money and taxes go, you know what they say about the golden rule? The ones with the gold make the rules. That way they get to keep it! You can see the net worth of the top 50 congressmen <a href="http://www.rollcall.com/features/Guide-to-Congress_2010/guide/-49892-1.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Nuff said.<br /><br />Health care? Don't get me started. The government can't pass a law requiring all citizens to have health insurance but they can make us all buy car insurance. Give me a break.<br /><br />As for the energy crisis, have you ever seen the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?"<br /><br />Do I know what the answer is? No, but I sure have some ideas about what the answer is not!<br /><br />I'm glad I'm a birder and can relax in nature, watch the birds, and forget about all the crap going on in politics.<br /><br />It's funny, when I was a kid, my Dad always told me that if a politician wasn't corrupt when he was running for office, he certainly would be once he got elected. I didn't believe him then, but I certainly do now.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797156419109968733.post-36697065145775874702011-10-12T21:44:51.137-04:002011-10-12T21:44:51.137-04:00Would you please run for President?

PS I don't watch the news unless I'm in it. And that don't happen so much, so I'm safe from it. PPS I think there was a full moon or something. Lots of crankiness going around. Not that I think you're cranky, I um, what I meant was.. um, well some of us be cranky sometimes....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102684933543382923noreply@blogger.com
