Commented Dec 30, 2009 at 17:26:21 in Green

“Congratulations on a wonderful family time. Sometimes you just have to slow down to appreciate what really means the most to you.

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.”

Vaccination: A Conversation Worth Having

Commented Nov 16, 2009 at 20:20:17 in Living

“Dear Bill,
I respect your position re: vaccinations. I did take the H1N1 vaccine this year as I am about to begin chemotherapy for cancer. I felt that in my case the fast approaching depression of my immune system due to the large amounts of lethal chemicals I am about to introduce into my body in a bid to kill the cancer cells warranted my taking the vaccine. But I understand completely your point that using science without a great deal of skepticism and a reliance on science rather than maintaining a healthy body in the first place to prevent disease is short-sighted of us humans. Perhaps we can strike a healthy balance, giving vaccines to those who need immediate remediation of deadly diseases in third world countries while promoting healthier lifestyles around the globe, beginning right here at home...

Nah, that would be too easy and the fast food lobbyists would have a hissy fit.

To your good health...”

“If they had found oil, we'd be well on the way to having the moon colonized by now with corporate dollars. Of course, that would suck when the corporations began claiming that they and they alone own the moon by virtue of their investment in development. Leading to the first interplanetary war in human history, with the corporations hiring mercenary armies from Halliburton/KBR...thus enriching Dick Cheney even more...

“a novel for you all: The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, by R.a. Heinlein.

In his vision mineral resources are found and sent cheaply back to earth. The miners were Botany Bay types, not just the U.S. but the Chinese too, felons, debtors, political dissidents; survival of the fittest.
We build not on the surface, but dig underground, an added layer of shielding from the Sun.

My sister (a Republican) and I (a Democrat) agree on one thing over the many years; Where's my moon colony?

Finding H2O (not just for hydration and air, but propulsion as well) is a very important step towards achieving Heinlein's vision. What is there that can be exploited for profit (thereby getting away from NASA having to foot the bill)?

It was R.a.'s attitude from the 50's on.”

“Sorry...trees absorb carbon dioxide. They release oxygen into the atmosphere. That's basic 6th grade science. Obviously, you have not quite mastered the Google yet. Let me help you.

http://www.coloradotrees.org/benefits.htm#carbon

"Heat from Earth is trapped in the atmosphere due to high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping gases that prohibit it from releasing heat into space -- creating a phenomenon known as the "greenhouse effect." Trees remove (sequester) CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis to form carbohydrates that are used in plant structure/function and return oxygen back to the atmosphere as a byproduct. About half of the greenhouse effect is caused by CO2. Trees therefore act as a carbon sink by removing the carbon and storing it as cellulose in their trunk, branches, leaves and roots while releasing oxygen back into the air."”

“And what is the biggest, and as of yet least understood, green house gas out there? I will give you a hint the climate model cannot factor it..........

Water vapor. It has a larger impact on the heating and cooling of the earth than CO2.”

“And I reject a party that calls people "terrorists" for speaking out their objections to a war on a country which did not attack us on 9/11...

I reject a party which openly questions the citizenship of the duly elected President even after he has graciously provided a copy of the certificate of live birth from the state of Hawaii where he was born...

I reject a party full of people who would rather sit around on their hands doing nothing but allowing insurance company executives to grow even fatter and richer on the exorbitant premiums they charge for minimal coverage, while their fellow citizens are dying for lack of health insurance or going bankrupt to pay for life-saving medicines and procedures...

So you can keep your empty-headed, Barbie-doll, beauty-queen, also-ran, pistol-packin' mama candidate girl... (although I do apologize to Barbie, comparing her to Palin is a truly unfair insult to Barbie dolls everywhere...)

I'll stick with a President that can construct a proper sentence in English...without winking gratuitously even one time during the utterance of said sentence. Or needing a ghost writer to help with sentence structure and grammar in his published works.”

The Surprising and Unfair Cinematic Demise of Orlando Bloom

Commented Sep 18, 2009 at 12:07:51 in Entertainment

“Thank you for your thoughtful article. I liked all those movies you mentioned.

I loved Kingdom of Heaven and enjoyed it very much. It rang true in the way it portrayed the Crusades and the Crusaders...some were truly religious men who thought they were doing the right thing for God, and others were opportunistic, sadistic tyrants looking for their fortune in gold from the Holy Land. He (Bloom) had a very hard line to walk between being a tough and no-nonsense warrior and being a kind and generous, albeit reluctant "master", which I think he played admirably.

I had read and re-read the tale of the Trojan War in the Iliad many times and I always envisioned Paris as a putz and an amoral interloper in the marriage of Agamemnon and Helen. Bloom did an exceptional job of playing Paris true to his nature as written by Homer.

As far as POTC is concerned...Captain Jack would not have been half as funny if he didn't have Will Turner around to be his foil, and sometime patsy. Those movies would just not have worked without the Will Turner character, sometimes you don't need a flashy performance from your "straight-man" character... you need him to be solid and understated.

The only detrimental thing I have to say about Mr. Bloom is he is a little too pretty for my taste...I tend to go for rougher types like Gerard Butler in Rock'N'Rolla. But that's just me.”

“It is not an "innocuous instance" when someone deliberately equates being any ethnicity other than white as being from a different species. Or do you not understand the use of the word species? I suggest you study your etymology of the English language and specifically the word "species" before you declare so emphatically that there is no race issue that needs to addressed here.”

“Actually dark is what Lewis Carroll intended. "Alice in Wonderland" is supposed to be like a descent into madness, and the journey back to a normal life. I think Burton is on to something here, the darkness of the original book (if you have never read it ...do) is something he, as a film maker, is well-equipped to capture.

I am quite looking forward to being able to see this when it is released.”
