Thirty years ago when I was in school, the big “scare” was that we were headed for the next Ice Age. It appears the media and/or governments are constantly blowing things out of proportion (current example: Swine flu in the US… my family doctor says it’s far less serious than the seasonal flu). Perhaps the governments do this to cause panic and gain more control over the population. Also saw a documentary recently which addresses global warming from a different perspective, that IF in fact the earth is warming, that could be a GOOD thing, leading to longer growing seasons in some areas, thus increasing food production/lessening hunger.

Those who hold a Biblical world view realize that this world is only temporary anyway, and that we need to be prepared to leave it at any moment. Reading this blog gives me the impression that many of its contributors are atheist/agnostic… if that is the case, please, please take the time to consider the possibility that you could be wrong, that there is a God and a world beyond this one.

Our eternal destiny is far more urgent than climate change.

Everybody knows…

“And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be”

Thanks, Alessandra.

Have a nice day!

Budweiser does taste like like diluted beer to me anyway.

I’ll stick with mine and European beers!

But for the rain forest you should be ready to make a sacrifice

Oh, and Beck’s tastes like slightly newer dish water.

That is very funny.

Thanks.

I read you’ll also leave for London in November. That city is just great, I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful holiday.

If you decide to move there in the future, please, let me know, so I’ll have someone to escape with.

It is possible that something a firm did at one time has changed and they have already redeemed themselves in some way yet you are still holding a grudge. That is not a fair approach and that is why boycotting many different companies is a difficult task.

A very difficult task. I don’t know how they could ever quite redeem themselves, but it’s a fair point.

This would be an interesting discussion, actually: Where do you draw the line in your boycott? Do you shun the inspirational Lance Armstrong because he’s the face of Michelob Ultra? Hopefully not. I just try to do what I can to be a responsible consumer, although I know it can never be enough.

I notice that many Americans are boycotting Budweiser now that it’s Belgian-owned.

Another good reason to boycott Budweiser, by the way, is the corporate bullying for so many years of the Czech original, Budweiser Budvar.

Oh, and Beck’s tastes like slightly newer dish water.
