global warming

i saw the global warming movie yesterday, "An Inconvenient Truth." At its worst, it reminded me of the apocalyptic films from the early 1980s that insane born again christian youth group leaders would show to children, preferably after keeping them awake until late and feeding them chocolate. Those movies - the end-of-time rapture movies and An Inconvenient Truth - made it seem like there was no way you could ignore the issue, at the very least you had to change all your behavior starting right now and - at least! - tell everyone you know to change their behavior. But that won't stop what's coming. You also have to live your life proactively preparing your fellow man for what's to come. Even then, it's unlikely you'll have any effect. In the end all will be hellish and many will suffer. your efforts will be like drops of water in lake michigan. but *at least* you'll know you did your best. you can't just sit back with this information and continue like you have your whole life - - - thinking about what to cook, checking out your hair in the mirror. you have to do something right now, all the time. When the Son of Man returns to earth in judgemental fury and asks you why the polar bears all drowned because they ran out of ice to hang on to, He's not going to turn to you and say, "Nice hair." He's going to be all pissed off. Which is how you should be all the time, and right now.

Thanks a f*cking lot, Al Gore.
