Now is the Time
Mother Earth. Spaceship Earth. Third Rock From the Sun. We all have various descriptions of the planet that we live on. The current description might include the word "mess", as in the state of the planet these days. One wonders how much abuse this planet can take before it just says,"I have had enough". Now we all know that this will not be a verbal action but one that involves Mother Nature and the Universe. Certainly the forces that have shaped our existence have an awareness concerning the here and now. One has only to look around if one questions or doubts that there is a force that can create a consequence for the complete inability that we as a species have demonstrated in our appointed role as the caretaker of this planet and the other species that co-exist with us. The politicians and the scientists have demonstrated poor judgement in their roles as deciders of what is created on this planet from this planet. The time has come for the common man to step up and demonstrate the strength and intelligence that is innate in those of us who love the outdoors, the ocean, the sky and the animals. We need to take control from those that we have appointed as leaders and deciders. They have done poorly. Now is the time.

Hey brother, I'm with you on the state of the earth situation. If you really want to feel upset about the planet we live on, check on Thomas Friedman's article from back in late September titled, "Energy hogs popping up all over the world." It's beyond scary. It haven't been this depressed since HBO canceled the classic surf series "John From Cincinatti." Later.
