The paper today says that maybe half of the H1N1 vaccine our province received may go to waste. And that's not our fault. They took too long getting it ready, and then they made it available only at special clinics in strange locations, instead of at our regular medical clinics and doctors' offices. By the time the vaccine arrived, half of us had already had the flu and recovered without help.
The paper also says that Tiger's sponsors are not using his ads. Could that possibly have anything to do with him being 7 or 8 over par in the mating game? For a guy that's so good with balls, it's too bad he isn't better at counting. And with a trophy wife like he has (or had) who should need to fool around?
And while the climate talks go on, and the fingers get pointed, they're obviously talking about everything but the real cause of it all. And that goes back to the first guy who said "Go forth and multiply!" - not perhaps realizing that we'd keep it up until there's nowhere left to stand. If planes and trains and buses and boats all have capacity limits, then shouldn't Spaceship Earth have one too? Experts have calculated that a sustainable population for it would be about half what we have now. But nobody's talking about that. It's too hot a subject for discussion. But logically, if we need to reduce pollution, then we need to reduce what's causing it, and the enemy is us.
