Saving your lazy ass ;)

And when I say "your", I don't mean "you"...I mean that guy..over there..yeah, him.

I forgot to mention that the other day, when I went to the LACCD board meeting (for Greenpeace, and as a LAVC student) that I had to speak. This is the third time I think...I'm sure they're getting tired of me. I didn't know I was going to have to speak, but that's okay. I did alright. (And the bright orange shirt matches wonderfully with the blue hair...because you know, it's all about color-coordinating when you're saving the world. ;) Anyway, it was a success! Look at the first item that says Victory for March 6th. XD

Now, next week, we get to work on them for 25% solar for all new buildings.

You should have seen them. It was astounding, a real feeling of coming together. We complimented the board and they complimented us. All of them were in favor, even the ones who had previously been skeptical or opposed. It was great to all be on the same page for a greater good, if only for a little while. Now let's hope they stay on that same page.

Oh, and it was at WLAC too. Don't you go there Nej? It's a really pretty campus, reminds me a little of KU with the hilltops and greenery. Perhaps I will move closer to work and go there instead of Valley...

p.s. If you would like to help out in another way, check this out.

You probably weren't speaking to me, but...

It's a nice idea...but I'm stubborn and I don't give up that easily.

Sure, we trash one planet, let's go trash another! Why not seriously try and fix the problems here rather than running away?
Unless you want to implement some scary elitist selection process where only the best and "brightest" get to go to another planet, and of course, that's just disgusting. Hypothetically speaking, of course.
I'm going to shutup now.

Only the best go into space right now... Well, and the rich (at least the Russians can be paid off)... Most of his books actually show a sort of balance with nature after the nuclear war on Earth (written in the 50's of course), we clean up the world, decide there are too many people, we send off just a few colonies... The relationship between the few planets and earth is poor, where the "Spacers" think they are the shit because they have all this land look down on earthlings... And then the earthlings decide to bust loose and send thousands of millions out into the stars, not to conquer worlds but to coexist... His theory is we would actually have to terraform planets because they would have no fauna or animals of their own... He was quite a smart man...

So, you think the Tom Clancy way of going out and killing off the rest of the populace except for the elite few good environmentalists would be better?

I don't think it's all or nothing, either or (although that's a big trend with you, fallacy boy)

either we leave this planet or we start genociding people.

we could...you know...do what blu does and start trying to fix what we've fucked up.

I do... I try to fix one person at a time...

I adore you.

Yes, and thank you... I guess we need to stop making blu's LJ look like garbage :)

I don't think I've ever had this many comments. It's nice!

And a good discussion to boot...you two spoil me. ;)

What?! Where did you get that from?! I can only go off of your descriptions as I've not read either authors, though I will look into Asimov. (I'm getting into a little more sci-fi at the moment) But I'm not for the "Tom Clancy way" either. I don't think it's a matter of either or, ya nut.

Why not? Either you accept my rule or die by my strong hand :) You know what is really funny, I am a person that says, "It's not black and white, there's a lot of gray" I think that's funny now :)

I just wanna be kirk. Don't cloud my sci fi fantasies with moral implications!!! ;)

seriously, though...if we ever did have the capability to colonize other planets, I'd be hardnosed against it till we cleaned up our shit here. We'd be a fucking virus if we left now.
