There was a Democratic debate this week.. While mostly boring, a few bright moments emerged by the always lovable "Fringe candidates" .. The same fringe candidates that seem to emerge every four years and say exactly what they think while the front runners play it safe.

The state of our planet 2007

Hysteria! I am not a scientist. I am not an expert. And I certainly don't propose anyone to think that this Earth is clean and minus negative dangerous toxins that are destroying portions of it. But to watch Diane Sawyer the other night on Friday's 20/20 turning off the lights in the studio and waving to New Yorkers on Times Square with a flashlight was plain strange.. Moreover, at one point she entered a room full of toilet paper and paper towels--telling US to conserve. . I ask why if conservation is so urgent, ABC thought it was wise to gather up a thousand roles of toilet paper just for a 20 second spot on 20/20!? Maybe Cynthia McFadden can tell us. If her satellite connection is working, that is. It is Earth Day 2007. A day truly meant to reflect on our nature and our planet's nature. And how both are messing each other up dramatically.. The first Earth Day, it could be noted, was global cooling.. Eh, we all make mistakes. But just as quick as Credence Clearwater Revival asked us all if we've ever seen the rain, the theme of Earth Day became more towards the global warming realm.. The state of our planet, 2007: Smoggy, foggy.. Stormy.. Cold, hot. A lot like the state of our planet in 7b.c. or even earlier. However, the creeping suspicion that mankind is warming things is getting more credence.. The pesky ice caps melting.. Things could get bad. Or maybe not. I wish I had a crystal ball, just to verify the future. See if the polar ice caps melt into the Atlantic Ocean causing warming on one side and on the other in Europe a mini ice age. I want to know if the ocean currents change.. to see if the jet stream changes our weather.. to see if Hurricane whatever destroys where ever due to intensifying storms in the ocean.. to see if millions are displaced by climate change.. to see if water becomes a more important object in the world to cause war than oil. Still we wonder. Let's hope our pale blue dot makes it. Maybe the worst won't happen. But in case it does, recycle, be clean, turn off appliances when not using them, all that stuff--do as many little things as you can to add up to some big ones. Better to air on the side of caution. If you can see through the pollution, that is.
