"Climate Change"

I am not an expert but I do know a bit about this theory of "Global Warming". Regardless of your stance on the issue it is obvious our world is going through some changes, but scientifically "Global Warming" is the idea that things just progressively get worse as they have in the last 60 or 70 years that we have recorded. This is simply not true. Of course the world is going to go through climate change. The way Earth moves and the effects of gravity and moving continents are going to constantly change! We can't stop this... It's really not up to us. According to studies there was a catastrophic event that changed the dwellers of Earth. These dwellers are better known as "Dinosaurs"... These dinosaurs were wiped out by this "explosion", which was theoretically a large mass that hit the Earth and caused the Ice Age. The only living things that survived were micro-organisms that were frozen in time, once thawed("Global Warming") they went through the process of Evolution. There was another Ice Age after that and this had to occur again.... (sorry for the sarcasm but alot of people don't know this!) you see, the Theory of "Global Warming" has no real merit in society. Everyone should just stop using this term because it is misleading. Of course there is climate change and one day there WILL be another Ice Age and yet again this process will start over creating some other incredible species we can't even fathom. It's about the Earth and our Universe going through cycles, constantly changing and forever being an incredible mystery to explore.

What we can do, however, is lower our impact on the environment. We may not cause climate change on our own but we sure as hell aren't helping matters much by ignoring it. One of the arguments I would use to implement Environmental Awareness throughout the World is the fact that we are urbanized. Every large city must make it a social obligation to be respectful of the air we breathe (and that has nothing to do with the federal government, if a city wants to run its citizens out of the area, then pollute all ya can because they obviously don't give a crap about the future of their city). My argument so I wouldn't have to quit smoking always was, "I bet you get more pollutants in your body driving to and from work everyday with your window cracked than I get from this cigarette." That usually shuts them up, BUT we should all be conscious of eachother's air. (I, of course, encourage everyone to quit smoking as soon as possible, my argument may get people off my back but my body isn't too happy with what I am doing to it.).... ok i went on a tangent, back to my point. Clean air, fresh air is obviously better. I LOVE that some buildings in Manhatten are putting gardens and full self-sustaining farms on the roofs! That's so awesome, and it is thinking like that that will save us from our own pollution. Oil and coal have been our main sources of energy for over a century. This is not bad because we don't have enough of it. We have plenty of it here underneath our very own feet. America is rich in minerals and oil and everything we need to not rely on someone else somewhere else who none of us even know or see or vote on or anything. It's all here!! But that doesn't make it good or healthy. My point is that it doesn't matter if we are drilling here or elsewhere there are still underlying issues that won't be resolved until we completely change our entire concept of useful energy and self-sustainment. I don't want to rely on ANYONE to run my car or feed me. I should have the RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY to govern my own body and my own life. This goes for other countries with tyrant leaders and our federal government.  The saying goes you treat someone like a child their whole life they are going to act like a child their whole life. There is another saying that I really like "No Victim, No Crime" this involves us as citizens taking responsibility for ourselves and our families and doing what we can to live the original American Dream. If I am coddled my entire life by the Federal Government I will NEVER break free from it's chains. We have become reliant on these people that we are suppose to vote into office to govern every aspect of our lives. Don't allow this to happen. You don't need bailouts or rediculous housing or student loans. These things put you in debt which is this country's new form of slavery. We are slaves to debt, and we are controlled by them because they hang this black cloud of shame over us known as interest.

So basically, recycle, drive less, maybe buy a plant and be the change you want to see in the world. This topic is contraversial, so if you disagree or have a valid point that is backed by facts then please let me know, I am ALL ears. And I encourage those who read this to research these things. So that you too can inform the masses of this and spread the message of information. I have 2 goals in my life. 1.To create new energy for America for self sustainment. 2. If I get even a few to seek out the answers that we all wonder about but come up with excuses as to why we don't just look it up, then I will have changed this world for the better, one google search or youtube video at a time. The internet is the last thing we have in this world that isn't censored and we should take advantage of all of the various ideas and groups that are on here.

Republican Debate

Well I just watched the debate and I have a good feeling about the individuals that are running this year. In my somewhat biased opinion I of course favor Ron Paul. The best quote from the debate from him was when he was responding to a question about how he would bring the troops home. After the other candidates talked about deliberating with the military leaders and coming to a consenses on when it is time to leave and where we could leave and where should go, etc Ron Paul said;
 "I wouldn't wait for my Generals, I am Commander in Chief! I tell the Generals what to do and I'd bring them home as quickly as possible and I'd get them out of Iraq as well and I wouldn't start a war in Libya, I'd quit bombing Yemen and I'd quit bombing Pakistan... I'd start taking care of people here at home because we could save hundreds of billions of dollars. Our national security is NOT enhanced by our presence over there.We have no purpose there we should learn the lessons of history. The longer we're there the worse things are (going to get) and we are in more danger as well, our presence there is not making friends. Let me tell ya..."

This is a beautifully candid response and I am impressed but at the same time disheartened that Ron Paul is the ONLY viable candidate running that has the BALLS to say these things. I also strongly believe he would follow through on all of his promises. First day in office he would start making these executive decisions and delegating the power back to the citizens and the Congress. This brings up another topic, local elections are just as, if not more, crucial than the presidential elections. If you don't vote for your representatives, council members, judges, governors, etc then you are allowing other people to make that decision for you. Which is not a terrible thing, many people don't participate in voting or even learning about political issues because alot of people have given up any hope they may have once had for this country. I will admit I have had this same problem. I have yet to vote in any local election. My voting record consists of Ron Paul in the general election in 08' and then when he didn't make it I voted for McCain in the Primary. That in itself presents a whole other array of issues.

This is, however, an expression of my ever evolving opinions and knowledge.The more I learn about all of my interests then the better my opinions will be. Educating yourself is a beautiful thing. And in this day in age we (as human beings) have no excuse to be ill-informed about anything. We can be under the wrong impression, but that's fine you just further your knowledge and eventually build a viable opinion later. I will be the first to admit I know nothing about a certain subject so I will have to inform myself before making an opinion. That's why we have Google  : ) So I guess to sum up the purpose of this specific entry, I just wanted to touch on the debate and I also wanted to encourage all the people who come across this to remember, every person is an individual. This fact is what makes us progress and evaluate newways of thinking. Take it upon yourself to use your individuality and express it. Knowledge quite litterally is power, not money, or friends, or material possesions. It's within you to be and do whatever you want. But you have to reach out and grab it, cuz it's not going to fall in your lap.
