  Is it possible that we are ruining the earth?

  saw robert f. kennedy, jr. give a lecture on "it's not easy being green" and "crimes against nature" last night at utc.

  he really knows his stuff about what is going on with the environment.

  he talked about how the coal mining in west virginia has torn down large mountains because they dump the rocks and soil into the rivers then the mountains are gone.

  We are. Sure there will likely be life here no matter what we do, but our actions are making the Earth less human friendly, and we are changing it very rapidly on a geologic scale. Everytime there have been rapid changes there have been mass extinctions.

  the discovery of fossilised remains belonging to the world's largest snake has been reported in nature journal.. titanoboa was 13m (42ft) long - about the length of a bus - and lived in the rainforest of north-east colombia 58-60 million years ago.. .

  the snake was so wide it would have reached up to a person's hips, say researchers, who have estimated that it weighed more than a tonne.. according to the report this thing might have eaten crocodiles and alligators!.

  At least with the Duggars their oldest kids can help out with all the work. This woman's kids are all under 8.

  I'm all for women's rights and prochoice and all, but there has to be a point at which the rights of the individual end and the rights of society begin. The doctor should've refused to do the treatment based on the number of kids she already had and her economic situation. Unless maybe her family signed off on something saying that they would support her and her children. There's two points of failure here; the mother who is likely not playing with a full deck, and a doctor with questionable ethics.

  I'm at work, but it's on a screen here. No sound at the moment though, some one usually puts a spectralink phone by a TV somewhere then makes a conference call so we can all listen to it in the control room.

  every weekend we used to spend a few hundred dollars going out to lunch.

  but since less than a year, we no longer go out.

  my husband business has been very slow, and on top of that, the management companies he does work for, do not pay him right away.

  Not personally yet, but I've been squirreling away extra money into savings, and cut back on non essential spending.
