Time doesn't heal all wounds; it just makes some of them a little more bearable.
I prefer to stay pretty anonymous in cyberspace. But here's just a little bit about me...
I am passionate about my beliefs. And the older I get, the more passionate I become! (you 40+ out there can relate, I'm sure!) Global warming terrifies me; not for myself, but for my children, and for their children. Things will be so very different for them and their entire way of life will have to change if they are to survive.
I fear for our planet and the life it harbors.
I support our troops, regardless of their mission. It's those that order the missions that I don't always support.
I think today's politicians are grossly inadequate for what this country needs. Many of them are just plain morons. Some of them, I truly do believe, go into office with every good intention, but the reality of corruption and deception eventually gets to them and they fall, like all the others before them. I want to believe there is one honest politician out there that has nothing but good in their heart for the country, but I have yet to see anyone like that.
I work hard every day and dream every day of retiring and moving away from the insanity of the city; I have hope of finding sanctuary someplace where there is peace. I know in my heart that no such place exists.
I look up to the stars every night and wonder and hope.
I love the earth and the universe that surrounds it.
I started this page in hopes that I can help raise awareness on the issues surrounding Global Warming. I hope in some small way, I can help.

The United Nations' weather agency issued a report confirming fears that global weather extremes are now becoming the norm across the planet. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said that during the first months of 2007, the Indian subcontinent suffered TWICE the normal number of monsoon storms, and that global temperatures were probably the warmest since reliable records began in 1880. The report also pointed to record storms across Britain and the rest of Europe, as well as disastrous floods in Argentina and Uruguay as further indications of climate change. The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says man-made global warming is unequivocal. It notes that there has been an increasing trend in the extreme events observed during the last 50 years, particularly heavy precipitation events and heat waves.On Friday, August 17, 2007 it was reported that there was less sea ice in the Arctic than ever before. Satellite measurements showed 2.02 million square miles of ice in the Arctic, falling below the Sept. 21, 2005, record minimum of 2.05 million square miles. Sea ice in the Arctic helps keep those regions cool by reflecting sunlight that might be absorbed by darker land or ocean surfaces. Exposed to direct sun, for example, instead of reflecting 80 percent of the sunlight, the ocean absorbs 90 percent. That causes the ocean to heat up and raises Arctic temperatures. According to Mark Serreze, a senior research scientist at the Colorado-based National Snow and Ice Data Center "It is very strong evidence that we are starting to see an effect of greenhouse warming."
Check the facts, then tell me Global Warming is not true.
