Spear-throwing monkeys?! We must stop them IMMEDIATELY. Haven't any of you seen Planet of the Apes?!

Cool stuff. Reminds me of the power of governmental spending. All the money we dumped into the Pentagon during the Cold War lead us to the establishment of the internet. Now, if only we could convince our leaders to spend more money promoting green alternatives everywhere and not just in remote desert bases smack dab in the middle of an illegal and distastrous war.

If only it were as easy and fast to create as destroy. It's taken a couple years for us to wreck Iraq, it'll take a couple of decades to rebuild it. Likewise, it's taken a couple decades to poison our earth, but it'll probably take a century of diligence to cleanse it. And then we'll have new problems to confront, I'm sure. Jefferson said something about the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. It's tough, but eternal vigilance sure beat the alternative.

It's like an encyclopedia of awesome ongoing in our world. I'm only a little way through, but this bad boy is already well worth the hefty $37.50 price tag. It's filled with great ideas for improving our homes, our eating habits, and our communities. As their motto goes: "Another World is Here." So stop waiting and start making here, everywhere.

I don't have the statistics at my fingertips, but it's really pathetic how little money the US gives in direct foreign assistance to the developing world. It's pathetic in comparison to what we spend on warmaking. And, it's even pathetic percentage wise to what most of the rest of the industrialized world gives. The Japanese and Swedes, for example, are tremendously more generous with their aid money.

Well, Kiva is a great way to lead by example. The true path to global peace is not through spreading war, but hope. Kiva allows us to directly aid the less fortunate to start up busineses and lay the foundations for a vibrant economy which will increase quality of life, improve health care, and extend life expectancy for all. I'm planning a trip where I'll get my friends and family to fund a person's business through Kiva, then I'll go down there and actually help that person get things off the ground.

I've got a couple of friends who've made the switch to vegetable oil for their cars and they love it. But really, I think the best part of these biofuels is the smell of the exhaust. I love driving behind them because it smells like french fries! I really think some clever fast food joint ought to capitalize on that and start paying folks to drive around the city in cars emblazoned with their company logo and dispensing that wonderful smell out their exhaust pipe. Seriously. I'm getting hungry right now just thinking about it.
