I asked a US Senator why the US Secretary of State was in Greenland negotiating for the oil companies. She wasn't exactly. It was a meeting of all countries who have are touched or part of the Arctic.
I was not present for the conference so can only say what I heard on the TV and I have very strong objections to hearing from a person whose country thinks baby seals are made for clubbing to death that "polar bears are not as important as humans". I have rarely heard words so cold and uncaring for the things of God's Earth as those words. My stepfather, usually a staunch Republican, has been in tears seeing the footage of what global warming is doing to the Polar Bears. Wiping away his tears, he says, "Won't anybody help these big guys?' I tell him, we have been trying. Sending petition after petition to elected and appointed "officials". I don't know what they said In Greenland.
But there occurs to me another thing: what will happen to their tourist trade when the aurora borealis no longer shines because the lights are washed out by the artificial lighting of oil drilling operation and the change in the air temperature due to not only the drilling, but also vehicular traffic, external riggings, housing accomodations, delivery systems? Someone does not have all their facts in order. There are also arctic foxes, reideer, caribou; cold water fish whose waters will now be too warm to breed, yes, and seals. Certainly organisms of which we know nothing. The warming of the waters might trigger what is known as "red tide". It will spread far beyond regional concerns.
My Senator says no more concessions to big oil. I long ago presented a design to change the way energy delivery is designed, country wide. Not that I really felt like giving anything tothe US Government, but I more wanted to prevent further travesties.
If you feel as I do, take heart to know we do not stand alone. NWF is with us, Mr. Kennedy is too, as certain Senators and Congresspersons. Why have we not heard from Greenpeace? Start writing your letters now. No doubt you have something in mind which may not have even entered mine. Flooding of the Seine, the Danube, the Hudson, the Bering Strait; the fjords, the inlets in the Nordic lands......it is all too much to risk. But who is that man to decide that Polar Bears have no right to survive? There is so much more; the Polar Bear is the "poster child".
As well in the aftermath of the death of Osama bin Laden, no less than 6 Congressman have sent a request to Mr. Obama to withdraw US forces from Afghanistan.
Outside of this, tonight I'm watching tv. Movies made in 1982 and 1984. I never really watched tv before I became disable; even then, not really much til this past year when I've been too unwell to do much else. It pappens tobe I watched "Conan the Barbarian" and now "Conan the Conqueror"; curious about the stories,
needing something not of the usual fare of late consisting of reruns, duds, finances, news and sometimes wall-towall infomercials and religious programming. I do not watch financial shows or infomercials. I try to avoid the news. I sometimes watch shows of Biblical History, and often, prophecy.
Regarding the "Conan the..." movies, I've seen one before this. Arnold knows who I am and from where I came; of him, I recall the same. I know he said quite publicly, having Maria is "like being married to a scarecrow" and publicly has said he told her to put on a few pounds. We lose out baby fat somehwere in our late 20's and gaining no weight, we look more like skulls than faces. I know; my weight once went down to below 105 pounds. I didn't know who the person in the picture was. "German" men like a little softness in their women when they hold them. Condoning, no; but knowing why. Sadly, in fact, and it does break my heart, that of all the things Arnold could have done, he chose to fall in love with himself and turn into what I for my entire life have decried. He has become almost everything I hold in disdain. And that is a great loss to the whole.

In the USA, nearing the recognition of my 60th birthday.
I'm hoping I will have designed and have made a new tiara by then.
My first one near the age of 3 was white stones in silver my Papi gave me.
