End of an Era

I so wish terrorists and such could be rehabilitated with love, hugs, and warm chocolate chip cookies.  Unfortunately, there are those out there who would love for you to witness them torture, mutilate and kill your loved ones and kids.  It's sick out there, and we are protected from much of the information so the general population doesn't panic and retains the luxury of lollygagging about sipping our lattes and debate whether or not to vaccinate kids and bitch about the tacky color of the neighbor's house.

Oh, to have such simple irritations and things to gripe about.  I don't think it will last.  Enjoy it. 

Well, with global warming and our oceans reacting as such we will have much more to complain about in the not-so-distant-future.  No longer will job status and other economic indicators define your importance in society.  It's all going into a mode not centered about bank accounts.  I think we are nearing the end where money and commerce shapes society.  We're ALL going to be on the reality show "Survivor" pretty soon whether we want to or not.

Don't look for rain anytime soon in California.  The jet streams have been destabilized by climate change and have completely changed.  The jet streams provided that precious vein of rain and California will remain "drier than a popcorn fart" (borrowed that saying from Grandpa). 

We are figuring out we can't have it both ways.  We can't have all the conveniences of modern society and technology without harming the environment.   It's either one or the other.  Pretty soon the choice will be made for us.
