***** CRIMINAL INADEQUACY OF OBAMA / WORLD CO2 PLAN UNMASKED. GUARDIAN
The Swiss study cited here, were you to study the mainstream science for the last 6-15 years, IS SIMPLY A RESTATEMENT OF THE SCIENCE. 2 DEG C was just SLIPPED IN during Copenhaggen to supplant the SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS THAT 1 DEG C IS TOO MUCH.
AND 1 DEG C IS INFINITELY EASIER, AND LOWER RISK, THAN WAS:
* Winning WWII
* Women getting the right to vote in the US
* Getting rid of Mubarak
* Ending Apartheid
* Winning Civil Rights in the US....

Thoreau: ***** "When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men- those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers."

Thoreau: "America is said to be the arena on which the battle of freedom is to be fought; but surely it cannot be freedom in a merely political sense that is meant. Even if we grant that the American has freed himself from a political tyrant, he is still the slave of an economical and moral tyrant.... Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice?...What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom?...Is it a freedom to be slaves...?

Thoreau: "Shall the mind be a public arena, where the affairs of the street and the gossip of the tea-table chiefly are discussed? Or shall it be a quarter of heaven itself- an hypaethral temple, consecrated to the service of the gods?... Would it not be an intellectual and moral suicide?"

***** Our Religion - Capitalism: "For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to everyone that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still. For only they can lead us out of the tunnel of economic necessity into daylight." John Maynard Keynes

Thoreau - If I should sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I am sure that for me there would be nothing left worth living for.The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man. You may raise money enough to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise money enough to hire a man who is minding his own business. An efficient and valuable man does what he can, whether the community pay him for it or not. The inefficient offer their inefficiency to the highest bidder, and are forever expecting to be put into office. One would suppose that they were rarely disappointed.

***** This actually seems to be my life discovery, that Loving, that is, Serving from the Soul in Solidarity, IS LIFE, IS HEAVEN, is EXPERIENTIALLY SUPERIOR TO EVERY ALTERNATIVE, EVERY SECOND. How could this be, that this is my discovery? Well, either it is wrong, and ridiculous, or it is correct, and seems to be my discovery. All the Great Spirits I continue to study, they come so close to seeing this! And then they stop short, or turn, at just the wrong moment.
