Will there be an Earth in 2050?

We have raped our world. Mother Earth is suffering, crying out in anguish … and we should be ashamed. And by “we,” of course I mean all of us, because it takes collective awareness to maintain Earth-friendly consumable manufacturing measures and in-home recycle/reuse/refrain lifestyles.

However, it’s up to our governments—comprised of politicians—to generate and enforce the INTELLIGENT laws that will help us create and maintain an ecologically balanced environment.

Supposedly, to establish intelligent laws there must be intelligent people proposing them. Aha! Therein lies our problem. While I could point fingers at―“in my opinion”―those who have let us down through corrupt and completely insane leadership, that won’t solve problems.

Big Brother has “All Axis”

Why does "Axis" rhyme with “access”?

Yahoo/Axis – A new kind of browser or a new Big Brother form of accessing you and your browsing habits?

Yahoo seeks to shake up search, Web browsing

"Searching through links has outlived its utility," said Shashi Seth, a Yahoo Inc. senior vice president. "Users are demanding more now because we are all short on time."

How sad that we are all “short on time.” We have always led busy lives, but in the ‘70s when I had an hour commute each way to work, I still had time for after-work sports, my kids’ cub scouts, creative projects, family dinners … what happened to our world?

Motor City Madman vs. the Secret Service—who’s more believable?

Old people speak their minds because by over 60 there’s no point in lying and more to the point … nobody cares what you’re saying anyway (well, with the exception of Betty White) ...

But old Rockers speak their minds and the media (and Secret Service) are all over ’em. “Secret Service looking into Ted Nugent violent anti-Obama message,” by Olivier Knox.

One could argue that celebrities should know better. Stars of the ‘60s and ‘70s know all about how the media machine works—and the government. But they’re old—they don’t care. Big difference.

Dick Cheney’s Heart – ‘Logan’s Run’ 45 Years in the Making

William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson really were futurists. We didn’t want to believe their 1967 novel, Logan’s Run, about the annihilation of “old” people—anyone over 21—so by the time the 1976 movie came along, the studio had stretched the death-age to 30. Whoohoo. This week reality hit the fan …

“As Dick Cheney recovers from heart transplant surgery, questions are being raised about whether the former vice president is too old for a new heart.

            Cheney, 71, who received the new heart Saturday at a hospital in Falls Church, Va., has been on the cardiac transplant list for more than 20 months.

            Some medical centers will not perform a heart transplant on patient over 65, but other major centers will perform transplants on patients who are as old as 72. …”

The only difference between then and now is our death sentence reaches all the way to 65, and it isn’t a book or a movie—it’s reality. My sweet Grandma Connelly’s pink-cheeked face floated through my mind. She was 73 in 1976. Based on the movie, I wouldn’t have been born—wow—great population control.
