Love it when it snows


Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

Dont take it this way....I was not saying that in this intended way against you or your understanding...I just want to make my position clear...

Climate change there is,

We must act together, to promote the survival of all ecosystem now,

But sorry it is not ONLY man made...

This is my point...

By the way I know that stupid men can use this point to promote their agenda that is: do nothing....

But truth is more important than political agendas for me...

Nonoise, i have appreciated all your posts and I apologize if I have hurted your feelings....My best....
One thing I know for sure, we should not all act together. If such a thing even were possible. Which it sure does not seem to be. At least if the 20th century’s pile of hundreds of millions of dead bodies that idea created has anything to say.

Or heck, even nature. Nature hardly ever does anything together. Nature wouldn’t even exist if it did everything together. It would be nothing but a vast tenuous cloud of hydrogen. Only when those simple molecules come together in a cataclysmic supernova do we get all the interesting elements on the periodic table.

One of the biggest problems with modern agriculture is when we grow just one identical crop all together its unstable. Just one pest gets in and multiplies and there goes acres and acres of food. Grow a lot of different things all together, encourage the natural competition of insects and germs and stuff, that just never happens.

Markets sure don’t work that way, all together now. Not at all. Planned economies where we all work together, besides the fact they only "work together" as a team of dogs under one whip, they just don’t work, period. What works instead? Free markets where everyone competes against everyone else.

So it is in the market of ideas. There’s a sickness rampant these days, an intellectual retardation bent on taking us back to the Dark Ages. A sickness that takes many forms. Deriding some subjects as "political" as if it were a dirty word is one. The root of political is "polis" the Greek city state known for its ideal form of philosophical discourse. Talk about turning meaning on its head!

Besides, even if it did somehow against all odds magically work, could you ever in your life imagine anything more intolerably boring? One speaker. One record. One car. One position: missionary. Yeah, even sex gets ruined.

And so I say, all together now: Compete! Argue! Its the only real way we have of getting along.
I think scientists know that climate change is not all caused by human activity their point is the only thing we can do is address the damage humans cause. We can't  do anything about  volcanoes erupting or the sun if it begins to increase energy. When a minority doesn't even admit humans contribute to climate change or yeah we do but their's nothing we can do because of short term economic  reasons and this minority has the money and  power to suppress information, make up crazy  conspiracy theories, spread outright lies and propaganda that's when we have a serious problem. There can be no both sides come together to fix a problem  when one side refuses to admit one even exists, that human activity has tipped the balance and if we continue to do nothing we will reach critical mass at some point. 
Lassiez-faire capitalism doesn't  work either unless you want some kind of a Dickensian dystopia.
It seems people read what they want to read... and understand only what they want to understand...

Millercarbon looking for a higher encompassing perspective is not the same as imposing a point of view like in a dictatorial unified state....Do I must give much explanation? 


The politics I envision is one linked with universal alimentation for mankind and universal education.... The rethinking of the concept of money in his link with actual real economics life not finances.... etc... This is the beginnings...Politics is the way to do things, but there is no left or right in the politics of tomorrow...And no one world order for all in a pure Top-down fashion...


In history each civilization has only some thousand years at best to understand before being erased.... This is simple.... We must act in one spirit looking for the truth, not political agendas, but real political works... By the way the Greek invent democracy but the condition of democracy in the "polis" is " paideia" this means education....When a country is no more educated there is the choice between plutocracy or tyranny but not democracy... The Athenians has known that.... The great observer of the American political life the french Tocqueville say the same thing about American democracy....A citizen that is not educated cannot think for himself and democracy cannot exist then...Someone must learn to think for himself and this is hard task... Then we must remember that the first stage of education is the search for truth, after that only education in school can serve his purpose... My best...
