I have made a discovery. It's a discovery which could change the course of Environmental Protection not only in the USofA, but in the World at large.
What is it?
Well, it's this: If each person interested in the environment would center her and his attention on the environment of the State in which he and she currently resides and spend more time working for environmental protection there, then the environment of the entire United States would benefit. And if the entire United States benefits, then others in other Countries would see how well our system works and begin working on the environmental situation in their own Countries.
Persons who are nominated or elected to various offices which deal with the environment could then have first-hand knowledge of what works and what doesn't work. Then such officials could determine which knowledge would be applicable for the entire USofA and which States could be encouraged to adopt which environmental programs already proven to work in other States with similar environmental issues.
Sounds a little like "States Rights" doesn't it? Or does it? Could this idea fly? Does this idea have some merit? Or is it just the babbling of a 60-year old blonde?

LOLOL. Overpopulation is now the Pope's fault? On that subject I've done my homework. Go look at the growth rate of Islamic Countries compared to everyone else. It's not Catholics who are overpopulating. The Muslims say they'll become the majority world wide by 2030. How is that the Pope's fault again?
AND, it's not the USofA who's overpopulating the earth. We have either ZERO growth and we had MINUS growth. If it weren't for the influx of the ILLEGAL immigrants, we'd be in the Double Digit MINUS growth now. Why do you think Bush et al are harping on Social Security? There aren't enough workers putting in for the takers taking out. If you're putting into the system, you'll withdraw ALL you put in three years after you start drawing out. Go talk to the SSA office if you doubt that. Or go to www.ssa.org and read for yourself.
Global Warming? There's another one I've looked into. Are you aware that the Ozone Layer at the Poles regularly waxes and wanes? Some years it's thin, some years it's thick. Scientists have no clue why. I do, but I don't have the degree, so they don't listen to me. WE humans are NOT the reason for global warming. In fact, scientists are predicting another Ice Age. Now, how do we get from Global Warming to an Ice Age? Hmmmmm? Fuzzy Math? It's not due to Global Warming.
There are a lot of issues that can be resolved at the State level which then helps the National level to resolve those issues. Global Warming if there is such a thing, would be best resolved by having States have better emission laws, NOT by having another Constitutional Amendment. So Global Warming, if there is such a thing, IS a State Issue.
Population control through the disregard of human life which medical science has validated begins at conception AND/OR by the casual refusal of hydration and nutrition to the weakest, oldest, or most disabled humans should never be used to control population anywhere at any time. To do so is to become callous towards human life. People have been tried and convicted for callous disregard of human life. How anyone alive could suggest that pre-meditated murder of any individual in the name of the "common good" or for population control should be considered by the State or Nation is incomprehensible. WWII should have convinced the world never to allow another holocaust for any reason. Personally, in my not too humble opinion, anyone who thinks that we need population control should do the world a favor to reduce the population by getting a vasectomy or a hysterectomy and never having children.
The earth is plenty large enough for a growing population. People just have to use the resources wisely and reduce conspicuous consumption. People immigrate to the USofA for the opportunity to conspicuously consume our resources. That's why 60 hospitals a month are closing their emergency rooms because they can no longer afford to have non-paying clients use their facilities. That's why many States are having a crisis in education with more students than they expected or planned for and not enough teachers or schools or money to build the schools they need and pay the teachers they need.
Don't go blaming the Pope for anything other than trying to be a beacon of light in a world of darkness; a star of hope in a night of despair; a whisper of love in a maelstrom of hate; a touchstone of Truth in a chaos of falsehoods.
God bless Pope Benedict XVI.
The debate's over: Globe is warming
By Dan Vergano, USA TODAY
Don't look now, but the ground has shifted on global warming. After decades of debate over whether the planet is heating and, if so, whose fault it is, divergent groups are joining hands with little fanfare to deal with a problem they say people can no longer avoid.
General Electric is the latest big corporate convert; politicians at the state and national level are looking for solutions; and religious groups are taking philosophical and financial stands to slow the progression of climate change.
They agree that the problem is real. A recent study led by James Hansen of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies confirms that, because of carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases, Earth is trapping more energy from the sun than it is releasing back into space.

My comment above disagrees with this conclusion. The study I read was a few years old, but I still believe that what scientists want to call "global warming" is a natural phenomenon. I base my conclusion on the other planet with ice at the poles. Yes, Mars. The Earth can only survive for X number of years, no matter what innovations, no matter what explanations. One way or the other, whether man interferes or not, the Earth will only last for a determinate number of years. I do not believe that science has the ability to prolong the life of the Earth any more than they can prolong the life of a human. The Earth was born (created); the Earth will die (be destroyed). End of story? Not for those who believe in God. (And not for those who don't believe in Him, either.)
In the article is this paragraph:
Religious groups, such as the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops, National Association of Evangelicals and National Council of Churches, have joined with scientists to call for action on climate change under the National Religious Partnership for the Environment. "Global warming is a universal moral challenge," the partnership's statement says.
Life is a universal moral challenge. To limit the universal moral challenge just to global warming (if it exists and the article says it does) is to limit the scope of morality.
But then, my blog, my opinions.
