There's always shifts in the mood of the globe - I think we're moving onto better waveforms in general, but that might not always be the case in every location. With every mistake, surly we must be learning... We are the people we've been waiting for! & Be the change you wish to see - the ripple effect travels far if you keep the wave motion going..

The mighty light of 10,000 suns challenges infinity, but is soon gone..

Will we all be dead, or are we ever dead? Our life is a collection of millions of tiny cells, each one working together for the benefit of the whole. Then one cell from each finds another, and on goes the human species. So too, all our thoughts, our interactions, trends, ideas, and collective efforts lead to advancing human understanding; a continuum of thought and action throughout time and space here on the planet - our collective works reverberate and grow with time. The love we give goes on and resonates on, and one action can spark another - the conditions we're in often determine how we feel, and the interactions can spread those feelings and ideas throughout. Or in isolation, we may feel one way, and the rest of humanity has another spirit altogether. So set up good vibrations, and the resonant frequency you're on will spill over, and return to you the beautiful world you want to see. Do we live in a beautiful world? Of course we do! But on the local scale, the garden needs tending to, and the truth can only set you free.. Cold hearted orb that rules the night, steals the colors from our sight; red is gray and yellow white, but we decide which is right. And which is an illusion?

cc: Carla's predicament.. 10 if things turn out well; 3 if they're not so well.;)

:escaping:

Well, I suppose a bell rings at 10,000 posts or something!:laugh3: And when you reach 50,000, some people in white suits come to take you away!:rolleyes::P (for Norwegians, I suppose the Trolls get ya?;))

Silica is the raw material; no shortages! The energy payback point, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, for single-crystal solar cells is 5-10 years; polycrystalline is 3-5 years, and amorphous is 1/2 to 2 years. There's a large margin of error, but these rough figures indicate that switching to silicon is a pretty good idea!

Squirrels are tasty!:P

Greetings Jose!! Glad you could join the madhouse, and keep smiling in the Netherlands!:)

Dogmatic Thread = Automatic Dog.:P One small leap for frog, one giant leap for truth.

:devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil: Muhahahahaha!!:lol: Thread goes to hell. Film at 11.;)

:hug:You're most welcome, Carla ;); A friend told me during the recent reign of errors, Nelson Mandela, while in prison, planned the future of his county with his fellow countrymen; if worst case scenarios come to fruition, the time to plan can be fruitful. What was I doing before the computer? Hmm... hunting wabbits & squirrels!:P

:laugh3: May the thread go to heaven, or whatever comes shortly thereafter..:P

Welcome to the board, Cillaben! I'm happy to hear you got to see them in concert!! Hope you have fun here in the amusement park of Coldplaying, and keep on rooting for Coldplay! YAY!:):jester::drummer::sunny:

When I talked to Ray McGovern, he said "now the crazies are in charge" - that was 2004. He knew them all well, and was abhorred by knowing what they had done, and what they were still planning to do. But the bad times go, in time. Time passes; but getting through the tough times - how bad will it be?? Depends on who, where, what, and what position. To stay and correct the errors, or leave and return - we all face that question at some time in history. Sometimes futile, and that's something we all have to realize - but to give it one's all, and keep fighting for justice is the only way, for when the opportunity is there, time will be when the change can happen. Carla, I know how you're feeling - heck, it was a nightmare here too; some choose to ignore it; some just waited it out; but many suffered during the reign of errors. Keep working for the bright future, for while the storm clouds are overhead, they will pass, and a brighter day will dawn. Keep the torch of justice burning brightly, and never loose hope - in the end, justice and humanity will prevail over ignorance and corruption.

Yes, Conan's nice - and it's a shame he's on so late (although in a way, that's so cool!). Maybe he can do some specials in NYC??:)

Is it over? 15th today, so this is the day, right (Y/N)? Imagine how awful, if you knew the ..well what am I saying! sounds worse than what we went through. Kinda. Umm.. I recall the throngs of jeering idiots here when the election was in 2004 - not much better, but no rock throwing.. Hmm.. maybe you can get a passport now, so in case all else fails..? But, if they're not too bad.. hmm.. well, probably they are really bad.. which can be true here as well in some ways, but they hire others to do the damage. Maybe just find supportive people, and get organized??

:laugh3: Don't Panic.;) What time can't heal, distance might help - there's neighbors nearby, so how about Panama or Costa Rica? I dunno - after 8 years of the Bush regime, Orwell wasn't far off, and yet we made it through. Hang tough, and stay strong Carla.;)

There's a troll living under a bridge? Toll bridges?:P

Amendment VIII "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted." & part of Amendment V.: "...nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb... nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" Lord only knows how many are in prison for minor drug-related "crimes" when they really ought not be there, or be sent to jail rather than prison. Corrections is supposed to be about correcting people, not cruel or indifferent treatment towards them.

The world is still nuts.:inquisitive: Hypercompetitiveness is inhumane to all.

Finland has some great producer gas car enthusiasts, which use green biomass powered machines! ;) Any new model car tends to be a bit buggy the first years of production, but I'd be willing to buy one if funds permit. Jay Leno drives a Ford Model T to work in LA - it's green in the sense that it has already been built (no energy to make the parts), gets pretty good mileage at the slow speeds on the clogged freeway, and is so simple that it's relatively maintenance free.
