Ice Age!!! Just on a smaller scale.

So I came across this article the other day, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101127/ap_on_re_eu/eu_russia_ice_age_park, and it made me think about what we are truly doing to our world, and how some people are trying to combat it. I think this is a great idea that needs to be researched fully. Anything we can do to help slow down the thawing of our worlds tundras and help stop global warming will benefit everybody as time marches on. Now the sad part is that this will probably never see the funding that it deserves while other less important projects will get the funding that they don't deserve. What is wrong with this picture??

Could there really be an extinction day soon for wild tigers?

Have we as a society not learned that if we don't slow down and protect the things that we find majestic that we will lose them. I as hunter know the thrill of the hunt, but I also know that we have to follow regulations so that fututre generations can enjoy the hunt. It makes me sick that people don't stop and think about how their actions are gonna effect future generations for years to come..

Natural gas, is it the next big thing?

I just got done reading an article in National Geographic about the natural gas reserves in the Appalachian Mountains. I can't believe that we have the potential to be self reliant in our use of natural resources and we haven't tried to develop it. I know that there is some concern with the impact that it's gonna have on nature. And yes that needs to be studied. But to not give this serious thought is crazy. We need to be looking at this from all sides and really truly seeing if this is a viable option for our energy use. It's cleaner than coal, and more abundant than oil. we have the technology to make cars run off this. We already produce electricity with it. So why aren't we developing this more???

When will we learn???

So I just got done reading an article about how a local grocery store is recalling it's reusable bags due to lead concerns. Now this is an American based company that had these bags made for them with there logo and everything. Now if this company would have had another American company make them for them then they would never of had this problem. But that's not the American way. Lets outsource it and help some other country out and all the while we get shafted.. And from what I have seen on all the recalls the company's outsourcing everything are getting hit hard from the recalls. Are we ever gonna wake up?

This is so true..

So I was checking out articles to blog about for school. And I stumbled upon this little gem. http://www.fortunewatch.com/the-obama-tax-system-explained-in-beer/ After reading it and the comments that followed it made me stop and think about how I really feel about this myself. while I don't have a problem with those that pay more getting a bigger break. I do feel that we all are being taxed more than we should. And I would really like to see the fair tax law enacted.
