Conspiracy

Note to Oggy: don't get hooked into the Doomsday, 9/11 Truther cults on youtube. There is officially so much complete crap on there that I can't take it. People really take a lot of time editing these videos together that make the JFK assassination conspiracy look like an episode of "Who delivered my mail?" The video that made me shake my head and declare there is no hope was titled, "Real reason NASA bombed the moon." Something about how that title is constructed was so perfectly insane that it broke my spirit. I am lonely and sad. Don't ask me why NASA bombed the moon because I didn't watch it. All the narrators seem to be British or Australian...

When CBS runs an examination of climate change then you know it's serious. I wonder if everyone isn't being alarmist and exaggerating the problem but the evidence is strong in favor of trouble on the horizon. It seems Capitalism is not actually a way to live, but it's a good way to develop a civilization infrastructure. Namely, to borrow borrow borrow, build build build and pray pray pray. It's kind of ingenious because it does work to create infrastructure that's like a maze of wires and pipes more complicated than the brain. And it does it without actually paying for any of it. AND there is always some left over to build battleships that will never be used except to intimidate. It's an economic slight of hand, not necessarily a Ponzi scheme and it has worked up til now. (polite applause) But, the consequences have been immediate. The Kickapoo lived for 6000 years near the river and hardly changed a twig. Capitalists will not get away with 300 years of resource intensive living. Not only are the resources going to be depleted, but the global effects of reckless consumption are destroying towns 12000 miles away. That's impressive and tragic.

I had to reinvent math to get the dimensions right.

This is as close to the moon as I will ever get. Carving through a 2x4 with a saw so dull that I'm trying to melt the wood and so old it was made in America. I'm trying to build a box to stand on when I hang myself but if any of the end cuts are crooked then it will all wobble.
