 Well, now that Peabody Coal, and the other hugely polluting mega corporations that make their billions from slowly killing the Planet, have so badly damaged the atmosphere, they have caused the Earth to go into increasingly wild weather extremes, with massive storms, and several Polar Vortexes. This newest Polar Vortex has caused Niagra Falls to FREEZE Here is a photo.

No, no no! This actually happens quite frequently. And only once, well over 100 years ago, was the flow ever completely stopped by freezing:

You know what? I am SICK and tired of having people go out of their way to prove me wrong EVERY TIME that I post something. To HELL with IT, The ecology, the "god" of you PHONY "christians", and all of your "feel good" dress up make believe. I have a NEWS FLASH for you. "pandora" DOESN'T EXIST, and NEITHER do the Na"vi. On THIS Planet, MONEY RULES, and the MONEY will ALWAYS "trump" all the indigenous people, the ecology, and whatever anyone who the rich consider to be "Tree Huggers". YOU will lose, THEY will "win", and then they will either manage to kill off the Planet, (I can already hear you typing NO, NO, NO), or they will come up with some magical process, and this Hell Hole will just keep on running. At 64, I sure hope that I don't have too much longer to put up with humans. Pretty soon, I will have my non Smogged 1959 Hot Rod Truck built, and I, in my own little way can help out Peabody Coal.

Whoa, mawey ma smuk! :)
Money will not rule this world for ever. It will be harder to get 'cheap' resources and the clima becomes more and more crazy. States are highly indebted and in some regions are rising serious problems like the 'breaking' of the Ukraine. At the endgame 'they' (the rich people) will NOT win.
As for Pandora*, yes, it does not exist, but it does exist in our soul, doesn't it? :)

*Somehow I think somewhere in this galaxy is a world, which is similar like Pandora, but who knows...

That the internet is filled with people who want to correct one or insult one or both at the same time.  ;D



It is all too easy to forget that the words on the page are those of a person who's feelings are real, and can be hurt.

I should like to take this opportunity to apologize to any and all who I may have insulted in this way.

And ma Niri te, please, please would you post some pics of your hot rod?

 It is going to be painted in three weeks, right after I pull the original 292 engine, and T-98 four speed out of it, and swing in the 1985  De-computerized  302 engine, and newer T-98 Four speed. I don't want to paint it, and then scratch the paint switching the engines. After it gets it's base color, and before it get's it's early sixties flame job, I will take a photo, and PM it to you, Archaic. Do you want me to sent you a "before" photo of what I started with?

Mawey, mawey, ma smuk! This was not meant to get you angry! What I am trying to point out is, don't be too quick to blame regularly occurring natural phenomena on something some big business is doing. The science is not completely there on how much climate change is being caused by our overall greenhouse gas production, let along one specific cause. Big business is guilty of many sins, but not all sins. And not to point fingers, but think how much excess fuel you burn in your hot rod and airplane, compared to other, more sensible modes of transportation. Perhaps you should consider driving a smart car instead ;)

Seriously, I'm interested in seeing those photos as well. I think we all find what you can do with anything that contains an engine, truly amazing!

Or a 'zero emissions' electric auto?
Given the off grid, zero emissions nature of his home electric setup, don't you think the occasional run in a hotrod and flight in a plane is somewhat offset?

It may come closer to zero, but due to where I live, 150 miles to a dealer, unreliable computerized vehicles aren't worth a DAMN, and the day that I can no longer fly, is the day that I kill myself. Also, I only drive the hot rod one day a month, to the Club meetings in El Paso, total miles driven, 300 a month.

Ma Niri Te, are you really off-grid where you live? Off-grid is something I've dreamed of doing, but cannot afford to do.

 We are TOTALLY off grid, and don't have ANY of the black outs that the people around here that are ON grid have.

Yeah, Pandora doesn't exist.  >:( Eywa doesn't exist. >:( >:( Na'vi don't exist. >:( >:( >:( But I would more like to believe in (Earth) Mother Nature than in money. Money is nothing. Money can't make changes, people can do it. O.K. you can buy nice things for money. But that's not the reason, why you should be destroying everything beautiful and nature on this world. If we "don't have" Pandora, we really should start to respect and protect world we are living on.
But something is true - our (we do not own it -> we are just living on it) planet is dying. But we have chance and some time to change it.
That's why I like posting and saying true (but mostly very cruel) things about the environment. People think "I can't do anything with it." very often. But when they are recycling waste at least, they are doing something. When they are saying for example informations about destroying of rainforests to people, who don't know anything about it, they are doing something. I hate people, who are walking in a forest and they are throwing their garbage away (mainly plastic things are problem). When I see some plastic bottle or poly-propylene cover in a forest, I take it and throw in container for plast.

Good people can make changes. (and they will force bad people to help with it :) ).

Yeah, that was just a lot of useless words. :)

Eywa ayngahu. (Yes, I know. She doesn't exist, but I like her more, than most of people).
I wish some hope and good luck for all of you and mainly for our beautiful world - Earth, thank you. Please, have a patience with us.  ;)             :)

You can also do good with money.

A lot of people will quote the line: "Money is the root of all evil". But this is a misquote. This line is really from the Bible (1 Tim 6:10), and it states "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil", and goes on to describe the dire consequences of loving money (including undermining their own faith). The moral of the story is; Use your money (responsibly), don't love it!

Alright, first mawey ma smuk! Keep cool :)
Pandora nor the Na'vi exist (actually), they are just created by Cameron's brain, but who the hell know this for sure? This galaxy is so big and every second star have planets. I think, there would be the possibility that somewhere in this galaxy is a world which could be very similar like these ideas by Cameron - Pandora, Na'vi etc.

As for the word "Eywa", it is from the indoeuropean root *eiw (the exact word slipped from my mind...)
And this:
Eywa is very similar to many of Earth's deities, such as Jörð in Norse mythology who is the personification of the Earth, and is even closer to the Native Americans' religious views of the planet being one living entity. Eywa has been compared to Gaia, Mother Earth, Mother Nature, the Triple Goddess, or God by those trying to explain the relationship between Eywa and the Na'vi. The Gaia hypothesis follows on that the entire biosphere acts like a single organism or at least a complex system (soft Gaia), or that the Earth is consciously manipulating the biosphere in order to make conditions more favorable to life (hard Gaia).
Eywa's embodiment as plant life may be a reference to Yggdrasil, The Tree of Life, a holy embodiment in Norse mythology. Yggdrasil is a tree, said to be the root of all life, sent to keep the natural order of life on Earth. It balances the three worlds: the god's world, man's world and the underworld.
There is a similar ancient Celtic word deiwa (pronounced dey-wa) meaning "goddess".


I would say, "Eywa" is not only limited for Pandora. ;) :)

As for that environment change, there must happning A LOT to make everything good. But I will not comment to much here...

It's technically not the money, it's the "out of control" capitalism which makes (powerful) people to "optimize" the companie's structure or make states to "save" banks etc.

But this is not the right thread for that.
