7/27/2006 Thursday's lame public service announcement... and global CGAlright, I'm going to state this for the record - I have now aquired enough knowledge to be able to fix my own well in the future. That's what we did for the whole day - laundry, then fixing the well at the house. As of right now I have this crazy "No Seize" stuff all over me (makes it so pipes and stuff can't freeze) and I look like Hell froze over, twice. Heh heh. All in a day's work, I suppose. At least we got electricity running freely and I put light covers on the switches and outlets. Wewt. Hmm... what else happened? I came down with a freak cold Tuesday and felt like crap for pretty much the rest of the day and all of Wednesday. But I'm better now, heh heh. Erm... weather's been fine... nothing more really to say (for once...). Actually, I am pretty tired. Maybe I should think about getting to bed earlier than 2 am tonight. Heh heh. Yeah, that might be a good idea. Perhaps I'll have more to write about tomorrow. But for now, nighty night. Okay, I take it back (bet you saw that coming). I just read an article from BBC concerning the heat wave over in France. Lately I've come up with my own opinion as to what's really going on in the world. Let's start with my main analogy - water droplets on a penny. Ever do that lab in school, the one where you test surface tension by taking a dropper and counting how many drops a penny can hold before the water flows over? In my opinion, this is the perfect example of our world... see here. The global population is about 6.5 billion (do correct me if I'm wrong). By 2025 there is to be an estimated 10 BILLION people in our world. Maybe more. Now, let's intertwine this with the droplets. The world is the pennie, the drops the people. The more drops you have, the greater the chance of overflow. One day there's just going to be too many people, and something is going to happen that we're not going to like. Unfortunately that something may happen quite soon. So I'll admit I've only been on this earth for about 15 years and 4 months. But that doesn't mean I'm blind, either. I've noticed that a lot has been happening in the way of natural destruction and the mass amounts of human lives that are lost as a result. I believe that there's a certain breaking point, a limit if you will, to the amount of people that the earth can hold. As we steadily approach this limit, the earth is compensating (population control). More accidents, higher death rates, crazy natural happenings... you name it. We're causing global warming, and the earth is getting pissed at us for it. Hey, if you turned up the thermostat in my house, I'd get mad at you too. Heh heh. Honestly, don't call me a pessimist. Skeptic, only occasionally... but never a pessimist. After all, it's the difference in views that makes science such a wonderful thing. It's just that I don't think that it's so surprising that all of this stuff is happening. And it seems that it's the places with large populations that are being hit the hardest - Europe and the US with the heatwaves and Katrina, India with the multiple tsunamis, Africa with Aids. You don't see Austrailia getting pounded by killer kangaroos, do you? Heh heh. I'm a true believer in uniformity and balance... every has a CG (center of gravity). My biggest pet peeve EVER is symmetry; if it's on one side, it has to be on the other. And if it can't be, then it has to be in the center. In other words, sacrifices must be made. We'll just have to see how far aft or forward our global CG is... Comments (1)
