When the Earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the Earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall make the Earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the Rainbow -- Old Native American Prophecy |
The Four Most Important Questions:
|
"The tapestry that science weaves in describing the evolution of our universe is far richer and far more fascinating than any revelatory images or imaginative stories that humans have concocted. Nature comes up with surprises that far exceed those that the human imagination can generate." - Lawrence M. Krauss in his book, A Universe From Nothing, p. xvi |
Purpose:
I know, you may have come to this page for a thousand other reasons than the fate of Earth and the eradication of Marxism. Maybe you're interested in Morse code or appropriate technology (yes, I have some pages devoted to those, too...), or you love travel and mountaineering (I've done a lot of that, as well), or you've searched for me on the web because I've made a business proposal, applied for a position/contract at your company, or you've read one of my articles, or heard me on the radio.
Whatever the reason I'm really glad you're here - even if you don't agree with me politically, philosophically, or even spiritually - it's important that we be able to communicate and have a free flow of information without threat of intimidation or worse (and, yes, I've received "worse" - up to and including death threats for the simple ideas and suggestions I've authored in various publications or on the Internet).
So, even though this site has well over 200 pages (and that's not counting the hundreds of pages I've authored on other sites!), covering all kinds of topics (including sciences like Biology, Evolution, and Cosmology that I love so much...), I want to make it clear that my lifelong passion has been the protection and preservation of our precious little planet and the wonderful array and diversity of life that it harbours. Yes, my family, friends, freedom, liberty, country, job, and other aspects of regular life are extremely important to me, but the planet, ultimately, deserves our greatest care and consideration.
In the secular long run, for that huge stretch of time that will continue after our deaths, there is nothing more important than this planet and the other creatures that inhabit it with us. Face it, no matter our technological prowess or spiritual certainty, this planet is all we know - there's no religious consensus on an alternative existence or afterlife, and science has confirmed that human-beings will never leave the solar system, ever.* Each of us has been born on this planet, and with the exception of a few astronauts, each of us will perish here. There is nothing else - this is our home.
My concern is not just with the destruction brought about by consumptive Asians, North Americans and Europeans, but by most of humankind all over the planet as well. I've traveled all the continents and can assure you that none of the aforementioned peoples have "cornered the market" on habitat destruction and abuse - from China and India, to Antarctica and Japan, human impact on the natural world has been devastating - entire species and bioregions have been decimated by our greed, arrogance, and indifference.
Oh, and let's be clear, although Capitalism has contributed to losses in the natural world, Marxism and communism have damaged a lot more - including the quality of life for humans as well.
As such, I hope my little website, or occasional magazine articles and radio programs, can raise awareness, thwart totalitarianism, save some habitat, or rescue a species on the brink of extinction. I know - you may have come here to read one of my rants against the airlines or the concentration of wealth throughout society - that's fine. Just remember that my goal is to save some of the natural world - other creatures and systems have an intrinsic value of their own, and a right to be here regardless their "utility" or economic worth to humans. And, it doesn't matter our political system, religious views, or economic philosophy, we have no right to halt, slow, or degrade the biological rhythms and relationships that started a few thousand million years before our own appearance just a couple geologic seconds ago. We have no right to wantonly destroy the beautiful, mysterious array of life that also calls this place home. We do not have that right.

Quote of the Quarter:
"Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains."
- Henry David Thoreau from his book, Walden (Chapter 2, "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For")
Real Bumper Stickers:
Did You Know?
"All the callouses on the bottom of your feet fall off about two to three months into living on the International Space Station. That's because astronauts spend most of their time floating in a weightless environment, not walking. When astronauts pull off their clothing, they have to make sure they do it near a vent for all the dead skin cells to get sucked into; otherwise the pieces will float freely through the cabin."
