Nodding My Head Like...

Sorry, no pics to go with this one. I seem to get a lot of my thoughts from the ones I love. I was recently talking with one of the afore mentioned and the said that you couldn't shake your head yes. That you you always shake your head to say no to someone. That got me thinking. Is that really true? Do we only shake our head no and nod our head yes?

So I tried it. You know. Pretended that someone asked me a question, and then answered by making a movement with my head. You might give it a try. I have to admit that it does feel a bit more natural to shake your head no than it does to nod your head no, but the difference is very negligible.

So I say to all. It is really a matter of semantics. If you move your hear from side to side in a horizontal pane, is that a shake or a nod? It seems to be something that has to be figured out on a personal level. For me.... no me importa.

And here we are.


So here we are. Most everyone in the world is aware of the greatest scam, the biggest lie, that has been pimped on the people of this planet in recorded history. You know exactly what I am referring to, don't you. Man made global warming, and specifically, right now, the cooling we have had the last 11 years.

Oh, how the world we live in has changed in the last 10 years. Oh, how the lie has grown and only recently has begun to unravel. You can't hardly turn on the TV or the computer, or read a newspaper (who does that) without hearing of another way we should burden ourselves in order to repent of being alive and causing the planet to warm. There are CFLs, credits, recycling, replanting, painting your roof, wearing reflective hats, even only using one square of toilet paper per...... movement. One celebrity actually said we should only flush after defecation, never after urination. All to save the planet from something that doesn't exist.

There are plenty of examples of how our world is changing. The whole CAP and TRADE legislation threaten us all. Our businesses are running scared of what might be imposed on them (really the consumer... who pays in the end) if this thing goes through.

I found an electronic product a while back that had a curious label on it. I took a picture of it with my phone (thus the quality) and found the photo recently. It show what lengths we are having to go through to appear GREEN. We all remember the energy star ratings designed to help us save money by telling us how the particular appliance compares to others in energy usage. Well know we have something else. The global warming score.

Remember to feel like crap if you ever buy something that doesn't rate well enough.

I hate this whole movement. I am sure that makes me a racist.

WOW

Well, it has been a long time since I posted anything. At least a couple of months. Not sure exactly why. Perhaps because of six kids and a wife. Makes life a bit busy. Could also be that I have just chosen to use my time in other areas of interest.

One of the things that I am sure has caused me not to post is that I have been very bummed about what is going on politically in this country. It has made me just want to vomit. Literally. Do not be mistaken. I am just as aggravated about what is going on. It is just that I have wanted to bury my head in the sand.

So I spend some time tonight going through some of my thoughts. No, not so much that.... just rambling. I have some things that I will be writing about very soon. Perhaps tonight. We will see. For now.........
