Before I get down to actually writing something today I thought I'd post a wee bit of political news before it gets stale. The terminology "political news" should become clear.
The news item is today's release of a three year study by the Pew foundation on the current state of marine environments - specifically those that surround the U.S. It made its debut on MSNBC but had one of the shortest life spans for any stories I've seen of late. In cases such, my first instinct is to saunter over to the BBC. The BBC doesn't have any reserve turning out juicy tidbits of potential embarrassment to the yanks. Sure enough, the BBC still has the story.
I'm not going to recite points from the report. Suffice it to say that it's another in a long line of ubiquitous gloom and doom reports - the kind that will be undoubtedly duly and summarily ignored by this administration (although not administration exclusive by any means). Frankly nothing in this report surprises me necessarily. I'm personally convinced that man is engaged in the active extermination of all life on the planet - one way or another.
I've heard in the hereabouts and elsewhere that environmental issues might be a part of the re-election thingy. You'll note I didn't say integral part because environmental issues have traditionally never been a big player in elections but this story (like so many these days) comes replete with the "non-scientific poll" and I think, in this case, the numbers are compelling.

If the image is hard to read, a full ninety percent of the presumably bi-partisan participants voted in unison. Do I think environmental issues will sway the election? No. Not even if the economy improves. Do we need to incorporate this in a meme? What are your thoughts? |
