Scientists are admitting that the fight to get man to live in an earth-consious manner has been lost. Now, we must make computers to compact our trash and solve our problems.

Speaking of trash, if you want to read about our war-mongering President's more gentle days of dodging service in the war, look no further than here. It's interesting to see a President so unwilling to go to war himself now pushing for a war that seems, at best, only slightly justifiable. This seems to be just another excess of modernity, sending these great war machines we have built into duty to take care of something that will only get worse with every encroachment. I agree with Bill Maher, who says that attacking Iraq is like treating "a case of herpes as if it were cancer." By scratching it, we irritate it and cause it to spread.

Everyone knows that humans haven't risen above animals as far as controlling their numbers. To read about our excesses and our inability to confront the imminent end of our society as we know it if we don't change our lifestyle, click here. Dieoff.org is a great sight with many charts and pie graphs that will scare the shit out of anything that doesn't want humanity to perish.

Finally, I was dissapointed to see the Republicans gaining seats this week. Not that the Democratic Party is perfect or that it is any real solution, I just feel that the Republican party in many ways is becoming an imperialistic party with no ears. It hurts to think of all of the people in america who only look at the picture on the television screen and never think about how it got there and what the machine looks like.
