This isn't a diary. It's a rant, and a warning.
Last month, there was another burst in an oil pipeline. This time it was in Santa Barbara, California.
Big oil spill. Lot's of damage, smell, dead marine animals, birds, and unknown amounts of oil beneath the surface. Unknown long term damage to the coast, and marine life in general.

There was a big oil related disaster in 1969 in Santa Barbra. There was a spill, and lot's of oil went into the ocean, right there on the coast.

Here is what Alaska needs to know, and learn fast. The exact same clean up equipment was used. Lines of floating plastic "Booms" to keep the oil as contained as possible, and paper towels, and skimming boats.

The detergent has changed since 1969, and it was not developed by any super wealthy petroleum research lab, no, just Dawn dishwater liquid.

Does Scott Walker who is running for WI Governor want to make x rated adult movies illegal in Wisconsin ? The polls keep changing almost daily.
The idea of making all adult pay per view illegal in Wisconsin has got to both Republican and Democratic voters concerned. Would this be too much government ?

Here is why it's Obama's Fault. He was the one who started the invasion in Iraq originally, and he was the one who ignored all of the warnings about how the entire middle east will turn into a "Hornets Nest" of trouble. He just didn't listen, and that is why we are where we are now.

And now for some facts, and some history, on why George Bush, and Dick Cheney should be brought up in any discussion that involves "ISIS or ISIL"

People like Don Lemon should not open dialogue with "Did President Obama ignore the warnings from then President Bush, on why we should not leave Iraq " Here's why, Mr. Don Lemon. President Bush should not have ignored all of the experts warnings on how unstable the entire Middle East will become for decades if we invade Iraq and try to install our own government. Don, let's say we are all watching a Baseball game, and the Dodgers are winning 11-2 over the Mets. The Mets replace their pitcher. The New pitcher is behind 11-2, and you do nothing but talk about how the new pitcher has lost the game for the Mets. You are an idiot, Mr. Don Lemon. ( For your stupid comments on how President Obama ignored the warnings from then President Bush, last night on CNN just after the President gave his address.) ( Sept. 10th, 2014 for those of you in the future.)

Pre War 2002 Warnings To Bush

Who ignored all the pre war warnings in 2002? Those that for what ever reason, wanted us to invade Iraq, no matter what. Oil, Halliburton stock, billions to be made, if we invaded. That stock sure did jump once we invaded Iraq.

What about Iraq, after we leave? Isn't that going to be a problem? Not for President Bush or Cheney. And so, now we live the "Warnings that were clear, back in 2002"

In 2002, prior to our invasion, many qualified, smart, reasoned people tried to explain to then President, George Bush, (Cheney) how an invasion on Iraq would be a long term disaster, with unachievable goals, and possibly create unrepairable damage within the middle east, after we leave Iraq. And after we left Iraq, it would turn into a civil war.

"Critics of the invasion claimed that it would lead to the deaths of thousands of Iraqi civilians and soldiers as well as Coalition soldiers, and that it would moreover damage peace and stability throughout the region and the world."

There was also skepticism of U.S. claims that Iraq's secular government had any links to Al-Qaeda, the Islamic fundamentalist terrorist group considered responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

We all know that the skepticism was correct. Fox News and the Bush White house, has yet to admit they were wrong, and ignored the experts. They will not admit they were wrong. They will also dodge any blame for the current events in Iraq.

Chances are they will get away with it, and we won't find any major media reviewing the actual history of who was warned, and when.

I am still shaking from the equivalent of what it must feel like, to do an entire 8 Ball by yourself. But not quite that. More like what it must feel like, if you did an entire 8 Ball by yourself, and then was doused in lighter fluid, and then lit on fire. Yah. That sums up last night. I don't use or smoke drugs, Just to be clear.

Well, he wrote it, not said it. A few decades ago, I would go with my father to visit his old friend. We brought her groceries, and ran errands for her every weekend. Before she died, she gave my father a few personal letters. They were her sisters, from her secret boyfriend. I like to read these letters, and go over his way with words, and try to visualize that moment in time.

So, every now and then, I put up a little bit of what he said. I can't decipher this as well as others, so take a crack at it.

I was going through some old mail, and looking over what could be considered chit chat to most, but to others, each word written contains another nugget into the mind of what most considered one of the most brilliant minds, ever.

I just felt like sharing a quote or two from these epic, personal letters.

As I get older, ideas come and go, but mostly go. So, I thought I would just take a moment to pass along something, I kind of think would have an impact on a young person. This probably isn't possible in this day and age, but wow, this would have had a lasting impact on me. I don't even know if health education, sex education is taught in school anymore. I remember some pretty lame classes, and one or two films that most slept through.
So, here's my idea.

Something future generations can see, and take some time to evaluate who we are today as a democratic society, that has been bought and paid for, and taken over by large corporations. Here is what is so badly needed.

So, planet erf is in danger. We have recently produced too much carbon, and that has chocked out how the planet was able to maintain habitable conditions. The idea that this crisis is of our own making can't be denied by any sane person with the ability to review the statistics that scientists from all of the world have provided. It's from us.
We can still reverse the man made error. We can.
