Global Warming! So What!

I live in a mostly rural state. The majority of those in this state are religious republicans. The majority of these folks believe that Global warming is a money making hoax of the left. The opinion pages in the news papers are filled with irate irrational arguments claiming massive profits by the UN and the liberals playing the people on the, "lies of global warming".
Well I pay very close attention to the arguments of global warming. I, however, like to get my information from many different sources in the scientific community. But, this is not my argument today!
My argument today is, so what! So what if you don't believe in global warming! So what if you think the UN and the liberal left are making huge profits, (after all, is not the republican view free capitalism and large profits at the expense of the people)! Even if all this global warming is just a bunch of hype, my question is; Why can't we have a clean planet for the sake of having a clean planet?
I would love my asthmatic son not to have to worry about the bad air days. I would love not to go fishing and look at a bunch of garbage. I would love not waste natural resources when there are alternatives out there. I would love to keep the trees around to continue allowing me to breath. I would love not to have pollution caused dead zones in the oceans. I would love not to have the forests in the mountains dying off from pollution blowing in from as far away as China. I would love to leave a planet filled with a diverse healthy flora and fauna for my kids, and their kids, and their kids, and their kids. I would love to be remembered as a part of a generation that was concerned enough about future generations to keep things clean instead showing disregard for the health and well being of my descendants.
Even if you think global climate change is a fraud, (which it is not), What is the matter with clean?

Just a thought! BP

Official Food, Inc. Movie Site - Hungry For Change?

Official Food, Inc. Movie Site - Hungry For Change?


This is a movie everyone should watch. It really does not matter if you care about what foods you eat or not, there is much more to it. Although, after watching this you will at least think about the foods you eat. A lot of this film deals with the monopolization of large companies who produce your food. It deals with how they not only treat their employees, but also the farmers who produce for them. This film deals with the laws passed in favor of big business, and against the consumer, (YOU). For instance take a look at those in charge of consumer protection in the Government when it comes to food, and where they came from, where their interests lie and why.
Did you know that, although E-Coli is a natural occurring bacteria it has become a hy-brid in corn fed beef. Also did you know that even feeding cows their natural diet of grasses for only one week will reduce the amount of hy-brid E-Coli in their system about 90%. Also did you know that instead of taking advantage of this easy natural fix most companies rely on boosting more antibiotics into the cows, which is passed on to you making your body and the everyday bugs around us antibiotic resistant.
Think about why it seems the poor are the main ones fighting obesity and diabetes. It is because the inexpensive foods are not the healthy ones. The government keeps the cost down on corn products through subsidization. Next time you go to the store, play a game, find the foods without corn syrup. What is wrong with corn syrup? It is the just about the most un-natural, chemically enhanced food around. Your body does not want it!
Produce that has to shipped any real distance is shipped green, then ripened with a chemical. Sound yummy!
If you like this film, or it scares the hell out of you, don't forget to watch king corn!
Don't take my word on anything, investigate! Their are a lot of materials out there. But, remember when you read something, or watch it on TV, always ask yourself two questions, Who profits from the information, and who is paying it, often the same people.

Remember, unless you know something that I don't, you only have one life, live it well and healthy! BP

Not sure if a Vegan diet is for you? Watch this then think about it!

I have in the last couple of months gone to a vegan diet. I feel so much better already. I have lost almost 10lbs with little to no exercise. I have in fact felt so good that I have just started to go to the gym, and I can be lazy. Well, I am going to keep it going and see how it goes. I was a vegetarian for a long time, only eating eggs, cheese and milk. It did not work the same. Good Luck! BP

A sad day in Lakewood Washington.

A sad note today out of Lakewood Washington. These four officers lives were cut short while preparing to begin their workday keeping safe the citizens of Lakewood. I am sure all of these people had families that will miss them very much. Our hearts go out to all of them.

Happy Thanksgiving

Teddy Roosevelt

“We wish to control big business so as to secure among other things good
wages for the wage-workers and reasonable prices for the consumers.

Wherever in any business the prosperity of the business man is obtained
by lowering the wages of his workmen and charging an excessive price to
the consumers we wish to interfere and stop such practices.”

– Teddy Roosevelt in a speech at the convention of the
National Progressive Party in Chicago, August, 1912

Doctrinal Statement of Pastor Steven Anderson

This is from the web site of Pastor Steven Anderson and his Faithful Word Baptist Church

(These are scary people)

Doctrinal Statement

We believe that the King James Bible is the word of God without error.

We believe all Scripture was given by inspiration of God, and that God also promised to preserve his word. Divine inspiration is of no value to Christians without God's promise of preservation.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith. Being born again by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ is the only requirement for salvation.

We believe in the eternal security of the believer (once saved, always saved).

We believe that the unsaved will spend eternity in torment in a literal hell.

We believe that Jesus is God, and that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Ghost of the virgin Mary.

We believe only in the local church and not in a universal church.

We reject the teaching of Calvinism and believe that God wants everyone to be saved.

We are Non-dispensational.

We believe that life begins at conception (fertilization) and reject all forms of abortion including surgical abortion, "morning-after" pills, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), birth control pills, and all other processes that end life after conception.

We believe that homosexuality is a sin and an abomination which God punishes with the death penalty.

We oppose worldliness, modernism, formalism, and liberalism.

Oh come on! Really?

Oh come on! Really? This is funny really. Jesus and dinosaurs. Which one was in whose time?

I found it difficult to find a time line for Christ that was really any good, but google it.

If denial really worked, like some deny evolution and the true age of the earth, then I could deny the Republican Christian Right all the way over to the left!

How was the Earth's age dated? well check it out. http://www.gate.net/~rwms/AgeEarth.html

The simple fact is, Creationists have NO evidence that points to a 6 - 10 thousand year age for the earth! This belief is an article of faith for creationists and they have never found any significant scientific data to back it up. The best they can do is to try to find flaws in decades of mainstream research (by thousands of researchers) that indicate the effectiveness of radiometric dating and to try to come up with doubtful scenarios that put an "upper limit" on the age of the earth. As was shown above by multiple sources, these schemes do not work. To see just how bad the creationist model is , see Creationist Geologic Time Scale: an attack strategy for the sciences by Don Wise.
