Second, this:
Okay, so, I don't like to bring politics into this blog for a number of reasons. The big ones are, of course, that 1) I REALLY don't like politics, and 2) for the most part, I like talking about politics even less. But I feel like this is worth mentioning.
Now, granted, I have my own views, many of which conflict with the person in question, but with allllll the violence and suffering in the world (and there is a fucking LOT of it), how is it that Al Gore and the UN committee on Global Warming or Climate Change or what have you win the Nobel PEACE prize? How do you win a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE for TALKING about ways to MAYBE get some people to THINK about TALKING about POSSIBLY making some changes to the environment while people are fighting and killing each other?
Okay, contrary to what is apparently popular opinion, I DO care about the environment. Very much. I DO think we need to take care of it because it's the only one we've got...but this? I don't know. Really, this doesn't feel like a good message.
That is, I guess, until Global Warming strikes suddenly and violently:
At which point I will gladly chime in with the cries of "We...w-we didn't listen!"
