Hummers & Cigarettes: Obama's Bracket

Another blog is born!

This blog is a newborn -- DOB is April 19, 2007! It was born from a discussion (argument?) at work regarding Hummers and their owners. My colleagues said that Humvee owners were basically the scum of the earth. I thought how unfair to judge someone you don't know by what car he or she drives! I've also heard and witnessed similar hate-filled reactions to cigarette smokers. Are Hummers and smokers the scapegoats of today's society? Why? And why on earth do people focus so much energy on such non-issues and disregard the real problems that exist in our society? Is it because such 'distractions' are easier to confront than the real problems? Let's explore the double-standards and hypocrisies of our society, shall we?

Global Warming Heretic

After watching shows on TV and doing some reading, I do believe that the supposed climate change (and, despite what Greenies try to tell me, the earth has been hotter) is more likely due to the sun's activity than anything else. We humans have a miniscule impact compared to the sun. I also believe that a lot of this nonsense is politically driven. Plus, how better for scientists to scare up research money than by creating a big harem scarem? Predicting 'catastrophies' and alarming people is far sexier and will get you a lot more research dollars. [See my commentary from 4/22/07: "Say It Loud and Proud: I'm A Heretic!"]
