"All of the Above" Can't Deliver All the Benefits the Clean Energy Economy Can
I'm sorry friend. We just don't have time to be this stupid, this careless anymore. We can't afford to think that lightening bolts come at the discretion of the Gods; we can't afford to think that spring comes because we sacrificed a calf in the winter;... and we can't afford to shallowly interpret (above headline) Pr. Obama's actions without FIRST, FIRST, FIRST... examining our own criminal lack of performance. GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE GRASS ROOTS HAS TOTALLY FAILED AT GIVING HIM ENOUGH VOTES IN THE SENATE TO BLOCK THE CRIMINAL USE OF FILIBUSTER, NOT ENOUGH RELIABLE SANE VOTES IN THE HOUSE TO GET ANYTHING DONE FOR 4 YEARS, ZERO POLITICAL COVER OR POWER OF ANY STRENGTH - WHAT SHOULD HE DO? WHAT CAN HE DO?
The most telling line about this Washington-FDR-Lincoln-Eisenhower called Obama was his debate answer against McCain. 'Gentlemen, if MLK Jr were still alive, for which of you would be be fighting to get you elected.' 'MLK would not be fighting for either of us. He'd be mobilizing the grass roots because that is the only source of power, then, or now, to achieve what we need to achieve,' Obama paraphrase with liberties.
STOP SUCH CRIMINAL STUPIDITY AS THIS HEADLINE ABOVE. IT IS KILLING US. Stop these Fantasies. We've got a Real World, REALLY going to Hell. Get Real. Hurry.

sLoving here: I just hurtled off a skycraper. Running around DC NAKED, bleeding. Wanna help speed the recovery?
I'm opening up an office I expect to use 6-7 days per week, 10 hours per day, in Kid's Park on the North Side of the White House (pka Lafayette Park). The insurmountable barrier was power for a 40W PA system and computer all day long. Just ordered $400 worth of power from Amazon / GoalZero
NAKED NOW. With this purchase, I've just said goodby to the desperately needed $240 2 year warranty extension on my poor Dell laptop that I pound on 12 hours per day for 3 years now. Warranty expires in 9 days - April 1. Worth $200 on ebay this old Dell, but would cost $1500 to replace. For $120 per year I could have kept it secure for 2 more years. Oh well. Naked now.
NAKED NOW. I've just said goodby to all but another 3 weeks of 'office,' equipment recharge space at my Godsend Coffee shop. After 3 weeks, no more funds, $2 per day, $60 per month. No gotts now. Naked.
The camp seat I use and sandles that wore out 8 months ago, well, I'll just pray that more duct tape can keep them going a bit longer.
If you know anyone that values the folks I serve enough to shore the work I do up, now would be a good time to tell them. A 'transfusion,' some 'clothes,' would help.
I can be reached at start_loving @ yahoo dot com
With this major investment, I can bring kids voices to the White House for the 10,000's of thousands that will go thru tween now and June. See links below - representative of the sound tracks I'll be blaring.
AND keep my online battles going full speed.
Also, as discussed below, I expect to be devoted on line (still have wifi thanks to Ellen Thomas and friend) to plug the most strategic void in this whole mess - where are we in the process of saving Home Earth, and what do we need to do? Just began this site today - http://trackingplanb.blogspot.com/
Finally, I expect to streamline and make more accessible the Start Loving blog.

$469.95 I got this and the gear to make it work for about $70 less after 3 days of surfing. Never could have afforded their full price.

URGENT. Loving Here: I may need Funding Help, Manpower help, Immediately. Circulate This.
YOU NEED TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER HELPING WITH THIS - $$$$, FUNDRAISING, MANPOWER FOR RESEARCH. FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T BLOW THIS OFF. LET ME KNOW. CIRCULATE TO YOUR FRIENDS. NOW. Tomorrow, is too late.
I envision my role three fold going forward the next 3 months or so:
1. Continuing to 'be' opposition, 'the' opposition with every breath. To be the other 'side,' the alternative to living with the status quo of environmental armageddon. This is the most important thing that I, you or anyone can do.
2. Filling the Planning/Progress Report Void. Would you have a crucial flight to catch, yet not know - where the airport is, what time the plane leaves, how to get there, what time it is now, how fast you are traveling, what the wait time at check-in is...???? No. Yet this is precisely the situation regarding environmental armageddon. There are literally dozens if not thousands of articles every day on the environment, but no plan, no status report, no benchmark, no reference mark to judge what they mean! 'Brazil has reduced forest destruction 80%,' for example. So what? It that 80% of what we need, or .0001%? 'Wind power growth doubled last year.' So what? Is that twice what we needed to be on track to reducing the use of carbon 80% by 2020, or is it .00001% of what we needed. NO ONE KNOWS, RIGHT NOW. What the Hell do we need all these articles for, if they don't tell us anything?!?!? If, IF I devote myself, I can begin to move us out of this total darkness. Correction. I can begin to move ME out of this total darkness. I have every reason so far to expect that just as my efforts thus far have been carefully ignored, they will be ignored going forward. But that isn't my responsibility. And no, I am not feeling sorry for me. I'm feeling sorry for Humanity.
3. Filling a crucial 'visibility' void - in front of the White House. The Hope for Saving HomeEarth is that the Children, the Youth will wake up to what we are doing to their home. The next possibility isn't one millionth as hopeful. 10,000 kids or more from all over the country, and world, will go thru the WH park this spring. I want to be there 12 hours per clement day blaring KIDS VOICES like these - http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-beg-you-get-this-seen-nick-news.html . But I'm under massive constraints - I live on the streets for the privilege of devoting 100%, not 99% of my Life to these issues; hence, I am massively constrained on where, when, and how I can power sound equipment, and my computer. I need sound power loud enough to get noticed in that massive park, and that lasts 14 hours. And, it needs to fit in my already bulging suitcase. I have no home. I have no storage. I have much experience with this, and massive practice. I know the batteries. I know the PA systems. I have tech question emails out to several vendors, but it looks like: A. I have the loudspeaker (but the criminally shoddy, international vendor, Beringer (epa40), has neglected to import replacement batteries for over a year. Literally, and mine's dead. Wish I had a lawyer.). B. The Battery I need must be able to fully recharge in 8 hours, and then last 12, every day. The one battery that can do that is this, and it needs an inverter http://www.amazon.com/Goal0-Ranger-Battery-Universal-Inverter/dp/B004FT5OIA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1332166307&sr=8-4 .
3. Streamlining Start Loving blog to be more of an environmental resource center. For weeks now I've devoted many hours per day culling the articles that apply to the 4-prongued Plan B 3.0, and posting them. But Start Loving blog's main page is crammed with much, much, much stuff, diminishing it's ability to be a readily searchable resource center. I envision re-orienting the site, breaking it into sub-pages / tabs, so that the main page is clear as a searchable resource center.
I'm already throwing myself at this. But I haven't a fraction of the resources necessary. You need to step up, yourself, with friends, with acquaintances....
