Congress debates allowing offshore oil drilling

Soon the House will vote on the following legislature.

'To provide for exploration, development, and production activities for mineral resources on the outer Continental Shelf, and for other purposes. '

This basically give states the authority to sell off (Lease) parts of the Ocean to mining companies so they can suck them dry of their resources. Saying nothing of what can be meant by "and for other purposes".

What impact will this have on sea life and earth quakes and who knows what else. Once they have drained all of these resources, they will have to go back to modern, clean and renewable, energy anyhow. Why put it off another 10 years.

Let's give up chasing the ghost and destroying our natural resources. With Hybrid, Ethanol, Solar, and Wind technology today, there is no longer any excuse to give big oil companies freedom to Pilage our resources at Record profits!!!

Please lobby against this legislature by going to congress.org and sending emails to your representatives. This takes about 2 minutes to send 4 emails!!!!!!

Last Days of Kurt Cobain

If anyone knows the where abouts of Gus Van Sandt, please let me know. I would like to give him a punch in the neck.

Last night I watched Last Days - It started at 12:55 Am and ended at 2:35 Am - I get up for work at 7:00Am - I am a big Nirvana fan and an amatuer Insomniac so I watched and waited. Then I waited and watched. I thought to myself something has too happen soon. Then the movie ended.

Its not bad enough that the movie is based so loosely on any fact: Like Kurt killed himself, Fact 1 and he wore striped sweaters: Fact 2. Outside of that, this is speculation and as the movie admits mostly a work of fiction. Now I like fiction, but if you are not going to tell the truth than at very least make it interesting. There is a three minute clip of a bunch of hedges if you like this footage and would like to talk to me about the advant garde meaning - please let me know; I'd like to punch you in the neck too.

I want my two hours back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haditha Massacre

Read this article in the Washington Post about the Haditha massacre.

If it is even half true, I am ashamed to be a human being let alone an American.

Can you imagine killing innocent children? Think of them 8 in total - less than 15 years old - some as young as 1 year old. Think of them as if they were your own babies. Not someone somewhere far away from home. Think of them as if they were your own, because they were someone's!

God it is unbearable. I sincerely hope this story is not true, for humanities sake, but I fear it is true. And worse yet, reportedly, the Marines paid $1500 to $2500 per death of innocent Man, Woman, and Child. $2500 can't buy a good flat screen TV.

I Know George Bush didn't pull any triggers and I honestly believe that if he was there this never would have happened, but he still must bare some responsibility. I don't think he would kill an innocent chiled in cold blood, but his war certainly has.

When the truth is too hard to bare, too atrocious to believe, something has to be done about it. Please write to your congressman here and ask that they push to pull out of this war!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call your senator and tell hem to support Senate Joint resolution 36. This resolution is a plan to have our combat troops home by end of 2006. This is agressive, but without a plan it will not happen.

This site gets you the phone numbers for your senators. I just called my senators - you speak to an assistant - ask if the senator knows about the resolution (They should) and tell them to support it. It is that simple.

END THE WAR!
