Johnny Transistor You are right, talking about the weather is as boring as licking stamps and should be reserved for farmers and farmers only. Even TV weather people have no business discussing it because 90% of the time they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. I'd rather watch cartoons anyway, at least they have a reliable out come. What you say is true. We spend too much time wondering what Whitesnake is up to then wondering why Johnny Depp is now considered Public Enemy No. 1, when he seems like such a nice boy. Oh sure, we all recycle and talk the save the environment talk but I haven't noticed too many people walking the walk. Name a politician who does. You can't. They are just too fucken fat. How can a fat fuck have a heart felt environment chat while chowing down on 2 inch thick porter house steaks and guzzling wine flown in for the occasion from France? Sure beats the Hell outta me. As for feeling we are on the edge...............no one can say for sure. But with everyone in the world running at least one car as lights shine 24/7 great chunks of ice are melting. As I listen to those for oil who say we are in a natural recurring cycle, debate those opposed I tune out knowing both sides are completely full of shit. Here is one for you. Rob Reiner is a staunch environmentalist and drives an environmentally correct car. A few years ago he purchased a house in Pacific Palisades, across the street from his, for $2 million for his kids to play paint ball in. The house is air conditioned, though smaller than his sprawling air conditioned castle.Rob regularly chastised a friend of mine for driving a Hummer, a friend who lived in a regular house. Who is the biggest environment crusher Rob with his inefficient homes or my friend in his Hummer? The Hummer is visible and an easy target. One thing is for sure, if we are on the edge of violent change, once we are in the middle of it there will be no turning back. Once it gains momentum we will be swallowed whole and spit out or we will adapt. I'd like to see a cell phone get us out of that one. Who would you call for help, dear old Dad perhaps?
