We have risen to great heights of arrogance in our refusal to
acknowledge that the earth is changing. We hold steadfast to our belief
that nothing can happen to us as a people. We get into our oversized,
war-machine-like vehicles, get on our cell phones and blackberries, and
avoid having human contact all day long.
Speak for yourself, Toots. After driving my 30-mpg roadster* to school and reading my email, I either teach class or hold office hours, where I am confronted with a continuous stream of students who are only too glad to have human contact, if it helps with their homework. They are, in fact, so eager for contact that I dare not have a cell phone, or they’d pester me to distraction.
It’s a damn shame that celebrity airheads have no natural enemies, not even a franken’ fungus. I expect midway through the 21st century, we’ll be overrun with them, sort of like the mule deer here in South Texas or bears in New Jersey. ["Hey, stop feeding the airheads! They’re tearing up my garden and sneaking into the swimming pool at night."]
*I do wish my Z-3 was a bit more "war-machine-like."
Tip from the Drudge Report. It’s really too bad Drudge is such a celebrity whore; people like Crow should be ignored until they blow away,
