Blog Action Day
aroberts writes "Today is Blog Action Day which means that lots of bloggers will be writing on one general topic for one day in an attempt to see what might be achieved through coordinated posting, and I am one of them so my humble contribution amongst the hundreds of thousands is entitled individual action is not enough. The topic for this year's blog action day is the environment." You can almost hear the sound of the vacuum created by bloggers thinking that their words matter when the people with control don't even know how to read the tubes. Lick a stamp or march- that's harder to ignore.
My suggestion, blog about avoiding war with Iran.
How about blogging on avoiding allowing psychotic terrorists to have nuclear weapons, avoiding threatening to exterminate everyone in a neighboring country, and avoiding executing people for being gay or insulting the government?
I must concede that you're correct. The environment does effect everyone. That doesn't change, however, the fact that it is of minimal consequence when compared to things like war. War effects people more directly.
Seriously, who cares if the air conditioner is set too low when the house is on fire?
There are plenty of studies showing that the global warming issue is caused by the sun getting hotter (look it up...I'll wait), and a recent study showing that the ozone holes at the north pole are getting smaller (did we do that? doubtful. Can a blogger get that kind of reaction, unlikely)
