awoke in the campsite next to the road above the lake on the edge of the ravine... and there were kittens in my campsite...according to the bird people cats eat at least a billion birds a year...not to mention rodents, lizards and insects....my general attitude is that for wildlife to live...cats must die...however the theory is easier to expound than the practice of killing cats is to implement...so I was weak and just put out some food and water before I drove away...i hear a lot of coyotes at night here so they will probably be eaten before long...
now i don't want to sound like a person enthralled with death...but after listening to a couple of weeks of the climate summit in glasgow the one thing i never heard anyone mention is the possibility that the human population is going to have to be reduced for any of the goals to be met that will result in less carbon in the atmosphere thereby alleviating the rise in temperatures and...well you know...making things nice again...yeah right....so there was a lot of the little people wailing about the fact that they did not spew the carbon into the air but they will suffer the most....blah blah and blah i think the big people who they want to cough up a hundred billion bucks to give to the little people to...? what? buy boats? insurance? what what what! i know of a famous animal trainer who used to say "i can train any animal that has to eat"...and I say that all money should be tied to the stipulation that the "endangered" people will have to reduce their numbers...until this basic reality is accommodated there is not a snowballs chance in the sahara that the temperatures are likely to be moderated for the better...now i think that since replication of our genes is what got us into this pile of do do governments should start a gene bank so that when the human population gets down to a survivable number...a hundred million? a billion? 5 billion? 3?...whatever it is having a lot of genetic material will be good for the gene pool...SAVE THE GENE POOL!
