More About Me

I am a freelance writer and playwright. I live in the census designated place outside the town outside of Oakland, Ca. I was "green" before it was trendy - since the mid-1990s and an inspiring Earth/Environmental science teacher in the town of Paso Robles, California. I live in an illegally converted garage with my girlfriend and two cats. I sometimes feel that global warming and climate change overshadow other equally important issues such as species diversity, deforestation, desertification, and access to clean water. Controlling greenhouse gas emissions is important but it's not our only challenge.

    While the message was garbled and they pulled a real boner attributing the ad to the WWF, I think it does point to a certain truth. Natural disasters do kill more people than all the terrorists put together but we do very little to prepare for them while pouring trillions into a bogus war on terror. We have our priorities ass backwards. Finding ways to limit death and destruction due to natural disasters is of far greater importance than hunting for the bogey man Osama bin Laden.

    I suppose the "birthers" will have a field day with the fact that there is a school named for Obama in Kenya.

    The temp is being set up as the scapegoat for this. I can almost guarantee that no executives of Bonner & Associates will see the inside of a prison cell or even a court room. The executives will probably go to a nice comfy board room with their attorneys, make a deposition that they had no "prior knowledge" of the forgery. They'll go home to their mansions and the lowly temp will be sent to prison for 10 years and the whole thing will be forgotten.

    What's the point of working, when your work is poisoning the next generation? What's wrong with Horton? Is it impossible for him to think ahead or does he just refuse to do so? I know our country is going through rough times economically but sometimes it is necessary to look beyond the next pay check to the impact of one's work on the next generation. Or would he rather have his paycheck today and nothing for his children and grandchildren tomorrow? It's thick headed folks like Horton and the loggers of the Pacific Northwest who only think about the present who are holding the US back from real environmental progress. If Horton had any foresight, he wouldn't work to save coal mining, he would put his energy into creating better jobs for the people currently engaged in mining.

    I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. One of our major concerns is that NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc.) the last auto factory in California is about to close. Like Horton and his coal mining, everyone involved is trying to save the plant. They are not thinking of what the closure could be...only that in the immediate future it is a problem. However, while it may be the end of the manufacture of gasoline powered cars in California, if our government and labor leaders work through it, it could be the birth of a new manufacturing base in California -- zero emissions vehicles. Of course they probably don't have the foresight.
