AND THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN

Nope. Nothing wrong here:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers does not deny that they accidentally dug a hole in the bottom of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron in the early 1960s when they dredged a shipping channel in the St. Clair River.   -UPI 2007

Could somebody explain to me what this means?  Where did the hole they dug lead to?
Are we cooling off the center of the earth by pouring one of the world's largest lakes into it?


This first section of links concerns some of the largest lakes in the U.S. and in the world.  I am led to believe that most of the lakes in the world are drying up.  I know by visual observance that most of the freshwater bodies in the Southeastern U.S. are going or already gone.
Google: Low Lake Water level
Google: Drought Low water Level

So, the lakes are drying up.  No big deal, right? The glaciers could be melted to replace the loss, right?  Ain't gonna happen, my friends.  This next section concerns loss of icecaps and glaciers the world around.

Okay, but if the ice packs are melting and the lakes are still drying up, that means that we don't have to worry about rises in sea levels, right?  I mean, God is gonna cut us some slack somewhere along the line, because he loves us, isn't she?  Magic Eight Ball says "The answer appears bleak."

If you even looked at some of the links, you noticed that all this bad news comes from all over the world.  It comes from U.S. government studies performed by USGS, NASA and other government agencies.  National Geographic, National Public Radio, Greenpeace, and the BBC also contributed.

When are world leaders going to stop stabbing each other in the back, trying to get stabbed in the butt, molesting children, raising taxes, sending our children off to die, and start trying to fix or least lessen global catastrophes which grow closer exponentially every year little or nothing is done?

Do we wait for Florida to sink, or Paris to flood?  Shall we hold off until the antarctic is a tropical prairie?  Can we stall until the cost of a liter of fresh water is more than the average american earns in a day?  Are we collectively hopeful that we will be called to rapture before the end of times? 

Have we all lost our minds?


Yes, I am trying to be at least marginally sensationalistI want you to get mad, sad, bitter and determined.  I want you to show me that I am wrong.  I want you to make me look like a fool.  Because, simply put, if you don't then we are all going to look like fools, and it's going to happen sooner than we think.

Get involved. Do some Google/Lycos/Yahoo/whoevertheheckyouwant searches of your own.  Visit local watersheds in your area.  Teach your children. Teach your children. Teach your children. It really is the ONLY solution.

End of rant, back to your regularly scheduledmindlessly soothingprimetime programming.
