3rd Oil Spill This Week

by designs in

exxon, shell, and canadian pacific railway all had oil spills reported this week.

exxon and shell's oil spills were from ruptured pipelines and canadian pacific had a railcar accident.. the exxon spill flooded streets and the yards of homes outside of little rock arkansas and the shell spill occured outside houston texas near the vince bayou.

residents of the little rock community never knew that high pressure pipelines ran under their homes which is a disturbing fact being discovered more and more.

everytime i see a facebook status about hunting, fishing, farming, 4 wheeling, and being a good old boy.

it is a conservative republican friend who is saying he or she is proud to be real an american.

this is common, to mention these good old boy jobs and mentality in such a way.

Two parties aren't enough to represent all of the views in America, unfortunately both are so entrenched I don't see anything changing for decades.

This is rather funny actually. There are only two viable parties. So if you aren't a homophobic bible thumping bigot, or a "free market" corporate zombie, you only have one choice. The Democrats. That is why they have had so much trouble winning over the last 35 years. They are a melting pot, whose issues are traditionally not monied. Currently the GOP has gone so far off the beam, that we are seeing a backlash. They have created a monster they can no longer control. The religious right.

'1600 years of Ice melting in 25 years is a bad omen'

by designs in

glaciologists from ohio state university have been studying the ice fields in peru.

tropical peru is home to ice formations 18,000 feet up in the quelccaya region, the largest of these tropical region ice sheets.. the glacier is melting so quickly that plant samples are having to be frozen artifically so that scientists 30 years from now can have something to study, lonnie thompson from the university said in the interview.

the ice field is the smallest it has been since the last ice age.. peruvians rely on the water from the glaciers, which will be reduced by 50% in their lifetime.

Designs my friend, most of the idiots that deny man made climate change will continue to do so until they are under water or living in a desert. Likely even then. Those who make a bundle off of fossil fuels work hard to maintain their ignorance.

Unemployment is down, but why did America set a record 47.8 million on food stamps?

by moshe in

in the usa a new record was set on food stamp enrollments, which seems ironic.

you would think as unemployment drops , food stamp usage would be dropping, too.

maybe those government unemployment numbers are fake numbers.

That state has more than 30% of the nation's welfare recipients,

California happens to have the highest population. And highest GDP.

yeah i know its taken me almost 5 years to reach 1000 post and many of you get that in a few months.. but i do take long extended breaks from the forums (especially in summer months for sun an fun).. i've seen where others had made a thread on celebrating this particular point of being a member on here and thoguht well that sounds fun so i will too.. plus considering how close we are to the "end of this present wicked system of things", and that it was going to happen any day now, and right around the corner, i figured i'd not make it long enough to hit 1000 post.

lol.

anyways hope this post finds all of you out there in good health, with plenty of wealth and enjoying your life to its fullest.
