Last night I did the usual Thursday eve velo-club ride...alone. Strange to say that when the weather is a little dicier than normal people in Naples stay home. So what was a little dicier? Well some rain, some chilly wind off the gulf waters and it was below 75 degrees. Burr, gives me the shivers just thinking about it (insert tongue in cheek here). Like I always say," you can't chose the weather you can only chose the ride". So I went on my scheduled ride and did well considering the blustery conditions and only added 15 minutes to the time that it takes for group ride. This is no major feet for seasoned riders but me at for week 14 I am very happy with my progress. I am right on track with what I had projected as a build up to the ride in California.
Being of sum what sound mind there are a few things in the news that are uncompromisable to me so bear with me. I learned this week that Time magazine has made Ben Bernanke it's man of the year. You know I thought he did a great job of bilking the citizens out of billions and giving it to his bank buddies, but not man of the year! Come on, Nancy Polosi has done a great job with the trillion dollar legislation scam called universal health care and the threat to trow any American into jail who doesn't sign-up, that's really creative. Or how about Mr. Oboma accepting a Nobel PEACE prize for not doing anything accept flying around and telling everyone he want peace and we are bad Americans...that is really whack if you don't think he deserves man of the year. But the best, the ultimate person of the year move was yesterday when Hilly, that's spelled Hillary Rodham-Clinton ( I have to quote this it's to good), "COPENHAGEN -- The United States is prepared to join other rich countries in raising $100 billion in yearly climate financing for poor countries by 2020, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced Thursday at the Copenhagen talks". By Jan M. Olsen and John Heilprin ASSOCIATED PRESS. (Emphasis on words are mine).
WOW, we are going to join other RICH countries like who? Who hasn't been effected by this ression/depression? WE, the US, are having the largest single depression since the Great Depression yet we have enough to space a few billion? Not that I even believe that we little ants on Mother Earth could do damage to the climate change, or is it global warming or is it global cooling or what is it this week? Now this is the biggist scam yet and Hilly should be man of the year for her efforts!Then there is the profit for the new 'green religion' ,Al Gore, who seems to be making billions off of this scam himself.
If I thought for one moment that this earth wasn't big enough and powerful enough and wasn't programed to defend itself I would be on the front lines of this climate thing. Think about it the earth will change poles when it want to; the earth will be hot or cold when it wants to; the earth will spew out it's dredge from the deep when it wants to and the earth will go through yet another ice age or heat spell if it wants to. The earth will also kill of the creatures living on the surface if it wants to, just ask the dinosaurs ( see ice age the movie if you don't get it). And there is not a thing you can do about it!
If you read yesterdays blog then you will know I'm serious about the world that my children, grandchildren, friends and families children and grandchildren will inherent. But that doesn't mean I am a 'green religion' zealot. I am a reasoning man that has seen, read and heard all the Eco stuff for 50years and see how I can effect what little I can effect for the positive. On the other hand I still wonder when we have had the technology for 50 years to have 125 mp gallon cars what stopped the manufacture? When we have had the hydrogen technology for cars what stopped it? How about the nuclear technology for creating electricity? What about the hundreds if not thousands of inventions for clean fuel? Who's planet is it anyway?
Bottom line is if it's my planet, or should I say ours, then whats stopping us from using this technology? The afore mentioned people who have a plan are and it's not a plan for your benefit that's who. Money can't buy a better world. Only people, everyone, can make it a better world and it has to start in your own home first. IF not there then where and if not now then when?
If I see you on the road stop at Peets, because your buying.
