THOUGHTS ABOUT POLLUTION AND GLOBAL WARMING

THOUGHTS ABOUT POLLUTION AND GLOBAL WARMING – increase in pollution leads to warming? I think it’s a politically clever move to use young people as the urgent voice for immediately changing the sources of our energy. Since today's youth will experience the horror of a world no longer habitable they have a personal stake in the result of unabated pollution. Whether or not pollution has a causal effect on the warming of our planet may not be the better question. Perhaps the better question is whether or not earth's temperature is rising. If it is then what can be done to stop it. At one time in my dumb-life I thought pissing in the water at the beach made no different in water quality. I thought when the truck took away our trash and garbage that all that bad smelly stuff magically evaporated. Even after I learned about landfills I thought buried it could be forgotten. In my reasonably smart-life I now know that our natural water systems are polluted; the air I breath can and does cause disease and death. I've heard some adults dismiss the comments of youth activist who fill the media with their cautions and concerns, purely on the basis that they are too young to know. If our waste has polluted our air and water systems it may also be true that the waste of creating energy is polluting how our weather systems operate. Amazon.com/dp/0983947724

THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATION WITH A TWIST

THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATION WITH A TWIST – a vision in black and white Reparation will become a reality well within my remaining life time. At 84 it means I'll have to live at least to 90 and at most to 100. Since I intend to live to 150 yrs. I'll see reparation become a government institution. It won't be without treats of state successions, group and individual visions of a dreaded socialism, also black/white race tension and probable conflict. Reparation, however, will not be all black. Although it remains silent and off the front page there are poor white people in this the wealthiest country on earth. For some whites poverty has been a way of life for generations. As it stands now there is a swell of white resistance to reparation for the American descendants of slavery. That resistance will only intensify as reparation moves closer to becoming a reality. Congress will not be able to seriously consider reparation without including in their considerations relief for white poverty. Even with such a consideration the rich and powerful white men of this country will always work to maintain the status quo. Despite their wealth and power white men will not be able to stop the shift that will change the economic, social, and political landscape of our country. amazon.com/dp/0983947724.
