My Political World: A couple of subjects close to me that are too close for comfort

I know that this might seem like I happen to be a tree hugger when I talk about this, but when it doesn't help that it tends to hit close to the mark, you know that something is wrong here.

First off, when it comes to the weather, some think that it happens to be normal, but what happens when normal is tossed out the window, well if you happen to be homeless like I happen to be, then you're wondering what in the world is going on, considering that on days that you know that it's supposed to be hot, it not only starts off cold, but at the same time it ends up be cold the entire day and you're hardly able to reach the higher temps. One might think that this is entirely normal, but in fact it's actually not normal in the least, and there's actually a very good reason why it's not normal.

Now I know what you're going to say, this can't be global warming, after all, that takes too long to actually take place. Yeah eh, no, actually if it happens to be man made in the first place then it actually doesn't take that long at all, and with all of the deregulation that Chaney kept pulling during the Bush Regime. It had gotten so bad to the point where things ended up becoming completely trashed, and now since those regulations were never put back into place by Obama at the current time, and so the end result is that things are still bad, and now those same companies that are currently trashing everything are having the those that are trying to stop it labeled as terrorists right now, and there are parts of law enforcement that is actually doing this too. We need to actually get this changed for the better other wise our kids won't have a future to live with. I know that money is being, but still this needs to be changed for the better.

Now the other thing that is a bit too close for comfort is that in the city that I live in I end up seeing a lot of examples of Republicans in our daily lives is the mixing of government and religion. I see way too much of it and it's the one thing that needs to be changed, but I know won't be changed any time soon at all. I mean I see so many bumper stickers out there talking about anti-Prop 8 that marriage should only be between a man and a woman or that Christ needs to be kept in Christmas or so on, or that they happen to be Catholic and they still vote. I'm sorry but we really don't give a rats ass when it comes to what your religion happens to be or that you are that and that you vote. Religion needs to be fully taken out of politics, and anything that was brought in during the Bush regime that dealt with religion needs to be killed. Other wise it's going to give rise to something that's been on the rise for some time now, but it's never going to hit its peak, and that is the hatred that the Republicans gave voice to in order to make sure that they could get the votes they needed in order to be able to try and win elections.

Now the one thing that Republicans and the rich have been pushing (which ties into what wrote earlier), is that there is no Global Warming, and that's the one thing is that is wrong. We're baking our own asses here and all so that the oil companies can be able to make a damned buck. Come on, if you think that there's no global warming, then why the hell are the seasons getting tossed out of whack here, I mean I'm living here in the Bay Area and we're getting cool trends when we should be getting baked by the sun. We got rain at the end of June when in fact there shouldn't have been anything, and just last week I'm getting sprinkled on right in the middle of summer. There's just some things that shouldn't be happening and these are just the examples. I've got friends around this country that are experiencing the same thing but in different ways. I know that the rich oil barrens are pushing this whole anti-global warming deal that way they can make a buck here, but at the same time they're actually getting people to believe this. I remember reading years ago a science fiction book called Time Ships, now this book was a time travel book that was supposed to be the squeal to H.G. Wells Time Machine, and it covered multiple time lines, but in one of those time lines, everything started out sooner than it should've for human kind and what it resulted in is something that we're actually heading towards in our real life, and it's coming faster than people actually want to think about. It's called a White Earth, and that's an Earth that is devoid entirely of everything that means to make this world be able to sustain life. And it's being done all on a scale to make money and kill our resources off, and this is the one thing that should be getting changed and it won't be any time soon at all.

Now I know that you're asking "Gee what can I do, go buy a hybrid?" Well that right there is a start, but I was thinking something more along the lines of what I have to do being homeless, ride your bike to work, ride public transit (yeah I know that last one there might not seem the best idea at all, but think about it this way, it'll actually save you gas money, and you might end up seeing something on the route that you didn't know was there in the first place that you might want to go check out later on when you have the chance. Now besides those, there are other things that you can be able to do that would start to help things out, and trust me trying to convince oil barrens to stop doing what they're doing or protesting is going to 1)have zero effect anyway so that's out, and 2)get your ass labeled as a terrorist and that's the last thing that you need.

So just do what you think you can do in order to be able to help things out here, after all the longest journey starts with a single step, and eventually the sheep that are listening to the Republicans are going to (hopefully) wake up before it's too late. However the rest of us can be able to deal with this before hand and try to get things going here.
