It was an extremely hot day today. So, I am feeling quite lethargic. Not just lazy. I am always a bit lazy. I am the world’s worst procrastinator. Which is why this blog usually gets written about 11 or 12 at night. (it’s 11 p.m. now) This is deeper than lazy. This is like my mind, as well as my body, is working slower.
So, no main theme tonight, really.
One of the 5 Taliban members released in the exchange for Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has said he will continue the fight against the U.S., and the right wingers are saying “See, we told you they shouldn’t have been released.” The way I see it, he is now in Afghanistan. If we want to be completely safe, all we have to do is stay out of Afghanistan.
If American corporations want to do business in dangerous parts of the world, let them hire their own security.
Scientists have discovered a strange new formation of rock, washing up on the worlds coastlines. It is a conglomerate of igneous (volcanic) rock and plastic. Yeah, plastic. No matter how much shit we throw at this old planet we live on, it adjusts. That’s why it’s not technically correct to say the world is going to end because of the extinction of the honeybees, or global warming, or the air becoming unbreathable, or a supervolcano, or a meteorite strike, or even the 3rd World War that could develop if Vlad the Bad can’t keep his greedy little hands out of Donetskistan, and NATO insists on taking itself literally. It may well be the end of the human race, but the Earth will survive just fine.
Maybe that’s why we haven’t found any alien life so far. Maybe civilization advances to a certain stage before the planet learns to deal with it’s own garbage and starts spewing up plastic rocks, like planetary phlegm, and that is the beginning of the end. Or maybe we’ll survive this and in the future, nobody will need to drill for oil. We’ll just wander along the beach, picking up rocks and becoming oil millionaires.
I’ll end with this. Because I liked it. I eat meat, I wear leather, and am not a particular sentimentalist about animals, but there are certain animals I think should be off limits just because of their awesomeness. Among these are dolphins, and elephants.
p.s. fingers crossed for Tracy Morgan, who is in critical condition after an automobile accident.
