Is the human adventure ending ?

             We will realize -perhaps too late - that the most important

    " news "  lately is not the front page stuff, the war against terrorism,

    the wickedness of one Mayor Vincent " Buddy "  Cianci, the sex-lives of

    the rich and famous. All that matters,of course, if the FUTURE can be

    counted on to be not much different  from the past.

                The most important news is that our garden flowers may soon

    evolve into " weeds " as a consequence of global warming. And global

    warming is a FACT -not just politically correct hysteria. And global

    capitalism cannot go on in the same old way - MORE AND MORE OF MORE AND

    MORE - without an ecological catastrophe.

               And overpopulation means that the flower of humanity -our

    real hope for the future - will also become as weeds in the fields.

                Our children will live as weeds of decay on a decaying

    planet. Imagine a future Pope exhorting the desperate poor of Mexico,

    or Africa, or India : KEEP THE BAMBINOS COMING !

                 Most pathetic of all are the best and the brightest who

    think they can ignore the fate of the whole world while planning a

    lucrative career in investment banking. A  MASTER OF BUSINESS in a

    world now best described by H.P.Lovecraft. All they can hope for in

    the end is a room of " Cool Air " !

                The tired face of the Pope is not just human waning. It is

    a symbol of millennial exhaustion. The same incantations, the same tired

    words of the ancient Holy Book.... the sacred rituals ... have lost

    their magic against the Demon Cosmos.

                 Dark Matter will soon triumph. The Black Hole is opening.

           The Divine Light is spent.... " Our Father who art in Yaganath.. "

Lesser candidate's for Kerr's bus

People like this are literally too " low rent " for a place on

    Bob's * " bus " . But they do deserve an honorable mention for

    a seasonal pass : I myself am  ALREADY  on the bus one May morning.

    The bus is crowded with young and healthy people on their way to work

    or school. A middle aged woman with her left arm in a sling boards the

    bus. I wonder how long it will take for somebody near her to offer her

    a seat. Like zombies they don't SEE her or don't have a clue about common

    decency. She FINALLY gets a seat when somebody  gets up to get off the

    bus.

           Later a bus driver told me a young woman with a baby in her arms

    got on his bus. The same dysfunctional sociology is observed. The bus

    driver gets a little pissed : " This bus is not moving to this young lady

    gets a seat ". There is some applause as if he were now on the Oprah Winfrey

    show.

               I get off in front of the library. A middle aged man with a cane

    is at the crosswalk. There is even a flashing yellow light. Cars with

    waving American flags just speed right by him

               UNITED WE STAND !

Cross burning =flag burning = USA

 As a not uncritical fan of ACLU, I will nevertheless support

    crossing burning and flag burning and hateful speech as inalienable

    FREE SPEECH rights.

              Cross burning is now the focus of politically correct indignation.

    Well, if flag burning can be indulged by us dizzy LIBERAL-PINKOS , so can

    cross burning. The Pope himself is upset by the cross as a symbol being

    abused by moron celebrities who publicly CONNECT with Jesus - flaunting

    both their wealth and their piety with expensive golden crucifixes around

    their  sexy necks.

               Among those being hatefully intimidated by the illuminated

    cross is the odious class of VAMPIRES in our midst. I guess  Count Dracula

    has feelings too.

              Religious fanatics wave the cross at poor , miserable, frantic

    women seeking the service of Planned Parenthood clinics.

               In human society the force of ostracism is just as effective

    in controlling unacceptable behavior as punitive laws. Imagine NOBODY

    in the neighborhood ever again chatting with a drunken red-neck who

    burned a cross on his property  at the end of a long hot summer -just

    to remind a certain minority group of the good old plantation days.

               I was also glad to see computer created child porn not

    legally condemned. Where do you draw the line on THOUGHT CRIME ?

            As a Ralph Nader fan,  I look forward to the GREENING of

    America.

Dead soul - John Edward

 I wish Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov -popular science writers -

    were alive to demolish the credibility of that phony psychic John Edward.

    I am sickened by the daily commercials- with Twilight Zone like background

    music - advertising his " gift " : getting grief stricken people in touch

    with their dear departed. This charlatan's " gift " would not withstand a

    serious scientific investigation.

                A low point in his hocus-pocus career:  exploiting the grief

    of Sept. 11. On October 25, 2001 he was ready  for a very profitable TV

    program : communicating with the dead victims of the World Trade Center

    attack. Just let their friends and relatives know that all is well with

    them in the spirit world.

            Sanity prevailed - and John Edward lost big bucks.

               By the way I just received an mystical communication from

    the ghost of Carl Sagan : He says that non-existence is easy  enough

    to accept. Just billions and billions of hydrogen atoms waiting to get

    recalled to life.

                  He just wishes he could still fight the good fight against

    scientific illiteracy.
