Displaying 601 To 630 Of 3,373 Comments AD, I’m the furthest thing from an expert on this subject, but it seems to me that any species that would a.) require either protein or chlorophyll, and b.) have the technology to send a ship all the way over here to take it, would also have the technological ability to produce it somehow, at a much lower cost to them in terms of energy expenditure. So, my guess would be the only thing that would bring a conquering race here would be the planet itself. They would be a nomadic race who lost their own planet somehow, and would want to replace us on this one.

It is clear that the agenda is to so bastardize “democracy” that it no longer exists in any true meaning of the word. If people were more firmly convinced that their vote had the power to reflect back to them as real change, NOT just a vote to keep things from getting worse, they’d haul their asses off the couch in September. In a way, your article merely describes the logical outcome of what happens when a falsely representative and comfortable 2 party system games it so that other parties, which would have greater appeal to those who see no reason to vote, are kept from being viable alternatives. Eventually it becomes the 1 and a half party system, and then…. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 24, 2011 @ 2:45 pm The fragility and unpredicatability of life…. Hi Abby, we’re running out of space below. I’m honored that you took the time to reread that article, and grateful for your kind words of appreciation. This is a very important topic to me, very close to my heart. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 24, 2011 @ 1:46 am I don’t think our society or race can really evolve until we start to incorporate that type of “knowledge” along with our scientific approach to knowing our surroundings. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 23, 2011 @ 6:34 pm I’ve had those types of experiences before, so I know exactly what you mean. And I agree with you, I think it may not be such a good thing that we are being conditioned these days to ignore or downplay such intuitions. This was pretty much one of the main themes of the article I wrote a month or so ago, “The View From The Left Hemisphere of the Universe”. I think in our modern age we are so ruled by the left hemisphere of our brains that we get only a cardboard version of reality. Perhaps in a different type of society, we would be trained to know how to approach the type of situation you faced, but you should never feel guilty about “ignoring” something that you wouldn’t be able to understand. Even though as I said, I’ve had similar experiences, I still doubt that I would have done things any differently than you. It’s our current conditioning to dismiss such things. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 23, 2011 @ 6:02 pm Very shocking story, and I am sorry for you, Abby, and all the people you mention in your story. I am sure that your home will feel very uncomfortable for a while now. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 23, 2011 @ 5:08 pm As I wrote above, I think you make good points. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 23, 2011 @ 2:44 am Hi Sally. That all makes good sense, and I don’t disagree with any of it. But I don’t feel that it applies in terms of what I am referring to. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 23, 2011 @ 2:03 am Where did you learn that “we daren’t criticize the punditry”? Certainly not on this site, nor from the comments to your recent post (which, by the way, you haven’t fully responded to). There, the criticism of your article from myself and others was related not to your criticizing Michael Moore, but as to HOW you went about it – i.e. accusing him of moving toward the right, and putting thoughts in his head that he is almost surely not really thinking. If the same type of smearing had been directed at the president, let me hasten to assure you that myself and others would be all over the smearer, whether it were you or anyone else. Everyone should feel free to criticize Ed, Moore, Olbermann, Walsh, ANYONE. But fairly, please. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 22, 2011 @ 5:25 pm Weekend Music Thread – Armegeddon Rock Beautiful words and sentiments, c-lady. And congratulations! » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 22, 2011 @ 4:09 pm if I were the easily embarrassed type, I never would have posted a comment like that, jkk! » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 22, 2011 @ 4:08 pm cataclysmacally groan-worthy, I admit. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 22, 2011 @ 4:07 pm I love this song! “The Poseidon Adventure”….memories….. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 22, 2011 @ 5:32 am Yeah, as Raptures go, it kind of Ruptured. It fell well short of it’s Raputation. I don’t know about you, but armaggedon sick of all these end of the world no-shows. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 22, 2011 @ 3:07 am No, actually The Violent Femmes were a kind of a punk band, with quasi-religious leanings because the singer’s father was a minister. Really irreverent and quirky. This is from their second album and by the time it came out their fifteen minutes were pretty much up. Fun band, all the same. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 22, 2011 @ 3:04 am Here’s a REAL obscure one. Points go to anyone besides me whose ever even heard it before on this site » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 21, 2011 @ 10:13 pm Indeed, a very fine speech outlining a very right, and sensible course of action. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 19, 2011 @ 9:40 pm On Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats Her mom’s a little loony, but Tessa Totally Rocks! » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 25, 2011 @ 2:23 pm If the ants ever get their act together, we’re history! A million ants for every man woman and child on this planet. It’s theirs if they ever decide to claim it. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 25, 2011 @ 6:02 am It’s not clear exactly what the ants plan to do with these results. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 25, 2011 @ 12:28 am Not many people know about this, but because of the human race’s disastrous stewardship of the planet, the ants called for a referendum on our species. Dogs were behind us 100 percent, no surprises there. We received a surprising vote of confidence from cockroaches and rats. Mosquitoes seem okay with us, and we got about half their vote. Ferrets, of course, stood by us. And that’s about it. Every other species resoundingly voted for our removal from the planet. The biggest surprise was cats. They had one of the lowest voter turnout percentages. Those that DID bother to vote mostly voted in our favor. But not all. That’s Cats. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 25, 2011 @ 12:22 am Jkk, I think ferrets are more like dogs than cats, just a little less gray matter…. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 24, 2011 @ 3:06 pm What a great video! I love how the mongering hordes just throw in the towel at the end. » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 24, 2011 @ 3:02 pm And the winner is…. Ferrets! Yay! » Posted By whatsthatsound On May 24, 2011 @ 6:32 am KT, I didn’t know that, but it only adds to their coolness! » Posted By whatsthatsound On June 6, 2011 @ 6:56 pm KT, yes. Aren’t they the coolest? » Posted By whatsthatsound On June 6, 2011 @ 5:37 pm Owch! I didn’t think of it that way. I just love those beetles so I put them in my drawings occasionally. » Posted By whatsthatsound On June 6, 2011 @ 5:02 pm Jkk, the woman is Oprah. I’m not blaming women, silly. You’d have to read the article that goes with the illustration. I’m blasting her for promoting the book, “The Secret”, which is kind of like an Esoterics for Dummies book. » Posted By whatsthatsound On June 6, 2011 @ 5:01 pm exactly! » Posted By whatsthatsound On June 5, 2011 @ 6:09 pm Thanks, KT! It’s a Ferrari, and the woman is Oprah. The whole article is about how easily spiritual matters become corrupted and cheapened by commerce. » Posted By whatsthatsound On June 5, 2011 @ 5:53 pmComments Posted By whatsthatsound
And yet, voter apathy is still a larger problem, I feel. And much of that can be attributed to how tainted the Democratic Party is as well by the money and influence of the rich and entrenched.
As for the “signs”, I do believe that you were “tuned in” somehow, but wouldn’t equate that with “warned”. Please don’t feel guilty that you may have done things differently, and just see the signs for what they are, evidence that we live in a universe, in the words of J.B.S. Haldane, “stranger than we CAN suppose”.
Just beware that there are approximately ten QUADRILLION ants on the planet, so whatever they DO decide to do…..they can do it.
