Resignation

OK, folks, I'm really on a roll now. This should purge the doom and gloom from my system.........for a few days at least. I want you to forget everything I said in my last post, all that stuff concerning christians and the increasing attack on our secular government. The point is moot. Really. Doesn't matter. Forget about it.
We all have been aware of the ongoing environmental degradation continuing unabated for decades now. Global warming is a fact, wether the republicans want to admit it or not. The reports are coming in fast and furious. End of discussion. Now, aside from the fact that it is getting harder to find water not polluted with something, fish that aren't loaded with toxins, species disappearing from the face of the earth at alarming rates, all these things are out of sight, out of mind for most people barbecuing in their suburban backyards. Short of a mudslide swallowing your mansion, no one has time for all this tree hugging propaganda. Fine. Then repeat after me......OXYGEN. It is the one thing NOTHING on this earth, except for those odd organisms that use some other respiration process, can do without. No oxygen, you die. Plain and simple. And where do you think this O2 comes from? Walmart? China? Jesus? It comes from plankton in the ocean, from what's left of the forests that are being clear cut and burned left and right to make room for more and more people, and when we have passed the point of no return, there's no amount of money, no amount of political influence, no faith that is going to make more of it for you, for me, for our grandchildren.
But relax. Jesus is coming soon. So why worry? Why do anything about it? You have faith, don't you? DON'T YOU?
