I really hope that the gulf of Mexico oil spill is fixed. It is such a terrible thing. Having read and studied quite a bit about the Exxon Valdez oilspill in 1989, I hope BP is more responsible and honest than Exxon. Everything Ive seen says they arent. They had a chance to set an example and become THE environmentally friendly oil company, but hiring hundreds of temp workers for a photoshoot just doesnt fly in 2010 like it did in 1989. There is no way to hide such a large scale environmental catastrophe. I think this will bring about a new nuclear power boom as people realize that even though it has risks, they may be less than the risks of mining hydrocarbons as fuel.

I found a use for twitter. Harassing famous people. Today I sent a message to former NBA player Scot Pollard after he made an mark dismissing global warming:
al gore invented global warming. Coldest winter ive ever seen, big al!
I sent him a link to a brand new article on National Geographic's website which included the quote
"People often only consider the weather in their locality and not the global picture"
Why did I do this? I think that he is an interesting individual. He has lots of followers, and he retweeted my comment to him. I dont know what he really believes. I guess theres not really a point. But I liked it, and I think I will keep doing it.

twats
This week I signed up for twitter. I dont plan on ever actually tweeting anything. I signed up just to follow people. But not normal people, because we are mostly boring. And Im not into celebrities that much. Mostly NBA players is who I am interested in cyber stalking. Who cares what Jason Richardson eats on the plane late at night? I do. Catfish with mac n cheese.

Media
I wish when people disagreed with public policy decisions, or personal political positions, they could behave like adults.
If you disagree, your response should be something like:
"I dont agree with that. Here is why your proposal is flawed. This is my possible solution to the problem."
Here is how not to elevate the public discourse:
"I disagree with you. The only reason you think that is because you are an intrinsically bad person who wants to destroy everything I hold dear in the world"
I can't stand it when people question others moral orientation just because they have different ways of looking at life's problems.
