Oil @ MindSay 
gas
How do I politely answer this ignorant ______
using single-syllable words that he'll understand?
Well, it was clear that Chu was stumped
Secretary Chu's pseudo-geological response
just proves he doesn't have a clue.
He was stumped on how to explain a complicated process
clearly and simply in just a few seconds to a child.
That's hard to do.
I don't think it's fair to ask a question
when you already know the answer,
but still that so-called perfesser shoulda
known that oil comes from Texas.
Maybe Secretary Chu should of said....
There have been geological ages when it WAS
warm at the latitudes that Alaska was at that time.
Not that Alaska is where it is now, back then.
And during those times, there were no humans
much less human civilizations. Oh fuck it!
I hate explaining things to idiots!
I think people should try to get Barton
to explain his views on the origin of oil.
Would it be something along the lines of...
Well, since it's well known that God created
the Earth some 6000 years ago,
It is possible then that around 4000 years ago or so,
you have to count forward from Adam to Noah in
the genealogies and add up the ages to be sure exactly when,
that the world was all very warm and
there was lots of moisture in the air.
Because of this, the heat and moisture allowed lizards
to grow to huge sizes, thus dinosaurs.
Then, with Noah's flood the world was covered in all the
water that used to be in the air. Along with the flood came
a huge collection of dead animals and plants that were buried
and became what is now oil and coal.
Yes, it was warmer in Alaska a long time ago,
so obviously the world got colder there, and
also obviously global warming is nonsense.
This video would make one think that Barton believes
the presence of oil and gas indicates Alaska used to be warmer
Therefore he then must think heat produces it.
So Saudi Arabia has oil not because of geology, but because it's hot.
How do people like that pass junior high science class?
And then later, get elected and get to represent us.
If pro is the opposite of con
what is the opposite of progress?
Needs an name...... 12"x12" Oil on Wood Panel. High Texture (still drying!)
Okay, explanation for this: My art is usually highly detailed drawings, but with broken bits in my working hand it made me curious if I could use the rearrangement of said hand to get a wholly new style going..and so I got this. It's probably my favorite at the moment. Onto the rant, then shall we go? There's a story to this....
This was inspired by a little Fuck the Bastard party I went to (and helped plan)...for this amazing gal...
After the fun, games, music and endless margaritas I noticed her dilemma is like evryone else's. We all have those things we are taught from childhood that must be considered, and those life experiences and outside influences to counter balance the. What you have is a pure soul stuck in the inbetween, trying to blossom amidst all the conflicting scenarios, and I had just (hours before painting this) met a perfect example of a fantabulous soul, but there's that crushing chaos surrounding her again...
SO we had the party for her, and I think she knows how loved she is. As for me, my wish is that hopefully she'll grow strong and bloom, putting the chaos below her dreams so that she can achieve them, and the strangeness of starting over and the disconnected trust issues above her head at a safe distance.
It's so very hard to grow into the person one really is inside when over your head looms threats, fear, and bad memories and below are all the opinions and status quo - disassociation isn't always possible, either. That's when a strong, glorious tree gets strangled and stumped by weeds and those who would seek suffocation of dreams and hope, and they who'd harm an individual for not following the preset paths. This one soul, she's going to be alright. She's sheltered, supported, and very well thought of.
She's got a bubble of friends who love her..she'll bloom there with love and care..I hope.. ?
Alone, she can become and do *anything*. I did it in 2 hours, after returning from a party...
Now she is not alone - we all have been taught things as kids we had to reprogram our thinking to let go, and to adapt to be who we are. Life experiences change our very being every day - I do not belive that as long as outside influences can touch a person, that individual can truly be a pure spirit, unenhanced nor brought to conclusion by peer pressure and memories. It can help, or hinder. What you do with it is what matters.
Will you surround yourself with only those who wish to rise up from below and pull you down?
Or come crashing upon your head with inescapable fury and demands?
Or maybe, just maybe, keep a small bubble about your mind and emotion that is enforced by those who want to herlp, who love, cherish and uplift you? I think we all need a bubble to really grow - what say you, my friends?
