Lightenup. Used to be a screen name of mine. Rent, borrow, check out, or buy "Good Life, Good Death". Global tragedy is awful. Personal tragedy is less (voluminously) than global tragedy. When's the last time you lost your spouse, mother, and children in the space of a year? Yeah, I know. That doesn't address the big-picture.

It amazes me, or not, knowing what humans are like, that the media isn't making a big deal out of global warming. Obviously because they know most people don't care about it; it's not really happening; if it's happening, it's happening to the poor over there, even though, rest assured, the planet has no prejudices. Most haven't even spent 90 minutes watching Al Gore's movie. Titanic did something like 1.3 billion in sales worldwide. Gore's movie did something like 39 million. And, of course, Gilligan sold his rights so he got not a dime. -----Original Message----- >From: Eric Yost <eyost1132@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Dec 27, 2006 8:20 AM >To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Global warming claims tropical island > > >>For the first time, an inhabited island has disappeared >beneath rising seas. > >Any news from the crew of The Minnow? > >Your friend in Kleist, >Phoxinus Q.
