                          A JOKE or TWO or THREE.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him
shall not perish but shall have ever lasting life."
 He then got back into his space ship and flew home where Mrs.God immediately divorced Him.

 The holidays are coming and once again people will celebrate their religious beliefs and that is wonderful because I enjoy celebrations! Monday for example was created to celebrate the Moon. Of course in those days the Moon was spelled Mon and then it changed to Money and going to work on Money day became a tradition.

George Carlin never rode on a plane because it was too dangerous. He rode in a plane.
George also believed that WHAMO was a terrible name for an airline.
For George a near miss between two air planes was unbelievable. It was a near  hit!

        A BABY'S POEM.
 I can live for months in life with a smile and a kiss,
And I won't create a ripple...
But what I really need in life is this,
Momma and her nipple.

The bees‏

New studies show the pesticides wiping out the bees are killing many more animals, threatening "the heart of a functioning ecosystem." 
Tell Bayer to stop making bee-killing neonic pesticides!
Dear JOSEPH Raglione,
The vanishing of the bees is just the tip of the iceberg. Recent studies have found that the neurotoxins killing off the bees are also threatening to wipe out "the heart of a functioning ecosystem." So many birds are dying National Geographic says it could be a second "Silent Spring."

"We are witnessing a threat to the productivity of our natural and farmed environment," said Jean-Marc Bonmatin of France's National Centre for Scientific Research (NCSR), co-author of the report. After studying over 800 reports gathered over 20 years, scientists found "clear evidence of harm" "sufficient to trigger regulatory action".
Bayer, one of the largest producers of neonics, has been under enormous pressure to reign in the killer pesticide. Instead, Bayer has launched a lawsuit at the EU in an attempt to overturn neonic regulations. These new studies could not be any clearer that the time for waiting is over.

Tell Bayer to stop making the neonics causing mass destruction of our ecosystem!

The latest study says these pesticides, absorbed by plants, are also harming other insect pollinators, fish and birds as they leach into soil and water. The most affected species were terrestrial invertebrates such as earthworms, which are crucial soil-enrichers, said the NCSR in a press statement. Bees and butterflies were next, followed by water-born insects, then birds, and finally fish and amphibians. The effects are working their way up the food chain. 
"The combination of their widescale use and inherent properties, has resulted in widespread contamination of agricultural soils, freshwater resources, wetlands, non-target vegetation, estuarine and coastal marine systems." This four-year assessment was carried out by The Task Force on Systemic Pesticides, which advises the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the world's watchdog on species loss.
But with these mounting studies finding neonicotinoids responsible, the big pesticide companies are starting to engage in tactics they learned from Big Tobacco by pumping out their own research to cast the blame on mites, climate change -- anything other than their own toxic products. We can't afford pesticide companies to subvert science and threaten our global ecosystems.

Tell Bayer to stop making the pesticides that are wiping out the food chain!

Neonicotinoids are particularly pernicious pesticides that seeps into every part of the plant.They damages the brains of insects that land to feed on plants -- whether they eat the fruit or just the pollen -- and then wash out into the surrounding soil where they wipe out most of the surrounding life.
Millions of tons of pesticides are dumped onto our crops, into our rivers, and carried throughout our ecosystems around the world. This is a clear example of "more" not meaning "better".
The more toxins we dump, the more the real pests they are designed to kill grow resistant, and the more the animals we rely on to maintain a clean, healthy planet are endangered. In the old story, the solution to any farming problem is more -- more machines, more fertilizer, more pesticides. This constant push for more is endangering the natural world, pushing nature out of balance. We're here to tell a new Story, one where we focus on making things better, and cultivating a healthy, safe environment. Please join today in helping us tell this story and fight for a cleaner planet.

Tell Bayer that we can't keep dumping neonicotinoids into our ecosystem!

Thank you for all you do! 
Claiborne Deming, on behalf of The Story of Stuff team

I BELIEVE!
---------------
I believe in Ethics and Principles and in Truth and in Justice. I believe in both our human laws and in nature's laws.
I believe that all that ever was still is constantly changing within the eternal energy of the universe.
I believe man has labeled the eternal energy of the universe with his own cultural interpretations understood around the world as: God, or Mohammed, or Buddha, or Vishnu and many other wonderfully descriptive names.
I believe, therefore, that the concepts describing supreme all powerful beings are attempts to define the Eternal Energy of the Universe and so far not a priest or a scientist has explained eternal energy.
"All is relative" said Einstein. And surprise! Einstein believed in God!
I believe that all successful religions are based on: Peace, Love, Compassion and Ethics.
I believe that not all peaceful and loving and compassionate ethical human beings are religious or need to be religious to do good work.
I believe that all rules based on love and compassion will promote good will and peace to the degree in which they are obeyed.
I believe what good a person creates on this Earth returns to that person. It is commonly known as Karma but it can also be called free love and it spreads around quickly from person to person.
I believe that free and honest and fair trade between people and countries creates good will and the opposite creates ill will.
I believe that territory and food and shelter must be shared in a crowded world and that borders and fences create fear and fear creates enemies!
I believe that sharing honest and true facts as well as goods and services leads to peace.
I believe that hoarding money and food and goods and services leads to violence.
I believe that allowing poor human beings to go hungry in order to maintain an imperial economy is cruel and foolish and dangerous and the same goes for  imperial communism.
I believe that voluntary soldiers working as trained Peace Keepers for the United Nations are better at keeping World Peace than their military counterparts who are trained and paid to kill.
I believe that Doctors without borders are heroes and visionaries and necessary!
I believe that farmers and ecologists and teachers doing their best to feed and save the planet using natural non polluting systems are necessary heroes and visionaries.
I believe that every person: young, old, weak or invalid, must be given the opportunity and the training to work for themselves in order to gain merit and self worth, as long as the work is non-polluting.
I believe that all those who need help must be given a helping hand and all those willing and capable of working must be paid honest and fair wages.
I believe all governments must support in dignity and comfort all citizens who are medically proven to be unable to support themselves. Privatizing any medical system unnecessarily burdens the poor and the helpless as they simply cannot pay for the medical help they need.
I believe that dollars must be used to focus on life sustaining systems and not on polluting non-life sustaining systems. All powerful multi-national companies should invest in life sustaining business.
I believe our Medicare and Social Welfare systems must be improved and maintained.
I believe that prisoners must be given work and credited for their work with their money re-directed towards the victims of crime and to non-profit charities.
I believe that Human Beings live a more fulfilling life when they live by the sweat of their brow...but not so much they break their backs simply to survive!
I believe that if we work to enhance and replenish Nature, she in return will replenish and enhance our lives!
I believe that today there are still a few large corporations left who are working against Nature and they continue to create severe harm to many species existing on this Earth, including our own.
I believe that Life is Good and Love is wonderful and birth control an absolute necessity.
I believe that men who live and abide by moral and by ethical as well as by natural principles, live more abundantly than those who believe that there are no such principles.
I believe that understanding Nature's Laws is the best way to be useful to one's self and to our fellow Human Beings. 
If you also believe the way I do, then please join the world humanitarian peace and ecology movement or the Green Party or the Sierra Club or Green-Peace or the World Wildlife Fund or any other of the wonderful and honest non-profit organizations working to save and enhance Life on this our small Blue Planet Earth.
You can also start your own group and do something wonderful for yourself and for your family and friends and all life on this our little Blue planet.

  • Gentle People:

  •  Here is a message from my friends at Greenpeace. Please pass it on...Thanks!


  • Let's stop feeling so guilty about global warming

    Blogpost by Emma Thompson - August 7, 2014 at 16:071 comment
    Emma Thompson and her daughter in the Arctic with Greenpeace. 08/05/2014 © Nick Cobbing / Greenpeace
    Emma Thompson is currently in the Arctic aboard the Greenpeace ship Esperanza. She wrote these words after walking out onto the fragile sea ice for the first time alongside her 14 year old daughter Gaia.
    We're told that it is all our fault, global warming — we want the fuel, we want our cars, and that the oil industry is merely responding to the needs of a greedy public. But that's simply not fair. Most of us want to live cleaner lives, but our governments don't make these things easily available.
    The changes we need, that the Arctic needs, must come from the top as well as the bottom. We need electric cars to be cheaper and more accessible. We want safer bike lanes in every big city. We want plastic bags to be banned for good. We need governments to stand up to the dirty industries that have for so long funded and controlled them, and to give us all an affordable chance to live our lives in a more sustainable way.
    Yes, keep recycling; keep using your own shopping bags, taking transit and using your bike. But also use your voice. Know that you have power and you can make your government listen. Above all, I hope that people stop feeling so guilty and powerless about climate change. That's the lie that keeps us paralysed when really together, we are so much more powerful.
    But bear in mind that politicians often lose sight of issues that aren't in front of them all the time. They can end up ignoring even something like climate change, which is possibly the most pressing challenge of our time. So we all need to be bold. Attend a rally, write to your local leaders. If tens of millions of us just wrote to our leaders demanding action on the Arctic and climate change, well – that could change everything.
    Please join me, and five million others so far. Visit www.savethearctic.org/emma

Song of the Universe.

In space
All the energy that ever was still is
But
In a different place and at
A different speed...
We measure light from the
Stars in the Sky
With the question why?
And as we measure
Life on Earth
With the same question?
The energy that now is
You and I, my love,
Will change speed and place
Within eternal space
In order to find the answer.

The Setting of the Hydrogen Sun.

 I see the setting of the Hydrogen Sun
As a child does when having fun,
Transfixed and filled with wonder...

And high above my head the Red
And Orange and Dark Blue colours,
Are painted by our fiery Sun
On clouds across the sky...

And time slides like a Seagull flying...

And soon it is over as the Sun goes hiding
And the dark sets a stage for the bright Moon
Above my head...

And rising I think of bed...
But suddenly I see the planet Mars arriving...
And beyond that a heaven of eternal galaxies
Hiding from my logic!
And so, like a child, I stay a while longer.
