I don't worship the Earth. I worship the Creator, Jesus Christ, who created all things.
Exactly! We don't need to save this Earth, because very soon Jesus is coming!

It was a little chilly this morning. I had my heater on as usual for a chilly morning. I pay the bill, so it's nobody elses business.

I mowed the lawn yesterday. Not sure how many acres I mow — I own almost 11, much of it is wooded. The trees that come up volunteer will probably have to be thinned out again soon. I did some logging (or had it done) about ten years ago. But trees grow fast.

I do have some young trees that need to be ripped out. Probably take care of that soon.

I plant a vegetable garden every year. Will that satisfy the environmental Nazis?

Just another day, I pay no attention to it.

Though I did read that Arctic ice growth is up to its highest levels in eight years. Maybe all that positive thought is making it grow?

Must be nice to afford to waste fuel like that, I am celebrating Peter Frampton
and Jack Nicholson's birthdays by sitting under a tree smoking a big fat doobie!

Hey - facts are facts. Perhaps, like my aunt, you fail to realize that higher gas mileage and cleaner emissions don't always go hand-in-hand. A big new SUV pollutes a lot less than a 20-year-old Honda Civic.

I mean talk about being hypocritical
I agree that it is a waste of fuel but isn't it smart for the President and the Vice President to be on separate planes in the event of an accident? Did we learn nothing from the plane crash that killed much of the Polish government? Hasn't it always been protocol for them to take separate planes?

I think smart for earth day would to do a broadcast from the white house and saying I am doing this in support of Earth day I would love to be there but I am not going to use jet fuel on this day.

I think its very hypocritical to be going to an event for earth day and wasting that much fuel.

If you want to stand for something and support it actually support it

Well that would have been an acceptable alternative depending on what they had planned. I was gobsmacked that after what just happened in Poland folks were suggesting that they fly together. I imagine some on cd might welcome a plane accident taking them both out, but in reality, it is stupid to have them fly together.
