Neverland is #2

no. especially not when reading the Onion or watching Monty Python. Never.

But back to the movie, anyone wanna try screening it? I'll try to see if we can do one here in Hakuba...

Population is one thing guys, but how much each person consumes is another. The average North American consumes a crapload more that the average Indian or Chinese, to magnitudes of 10. the current environmental devastation is to a huge degree OUR fault, ladies and gentlemen, and we'd better start taking responisibilty for our part before we ask other countries to take theirs.

please watch this, or organize a viewing in your area http://protectourwinters.org/check-out-the-trailer-for-generations/

Pick a place and pray. there are no more 'normal' seasons That's why I really like to see stats so claims like above can actually be substantiated or not. In Kutchan for instance the average snowfall in the 2000's has been about the same as that in the 1950's. The 1960's was the biggest decade averaging 13.51m! So far in the 2000's w

For mostly emotional reasons we've for some reason elevated dolphins higher up than other animals like sharks, salmon, cattle, sheep, etc. I agree completly. Of course, i am against any living creature being treated like crap (from a species that knows better). Everyone cries about the dolphins, but was that cow or pig on your plate treated any better?

Tobashi (to make fly, to throw in the air) is a money-managing technique for companies to remove crappy debts or bad investments from their books, by having a sussidiary B7buy 'them. I'm not quite sure how it works, and neither do most economists. Another illogical thing a friend pointed out Japan forgot the meaning of the 'A' and 'M' in most ATMs.

Is 'Tobashi' logical and effective?

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/japan_pledges_to_halt_production This just in! Seriously, that is ubelievably low. I would like to see something happen to that video game production company (as well as all porn firms that produce rape porn) similar to what the weather underground did to a Vancouver porn rental chain that stocked rape porn...

It would be nice if appliances came with a digital readout of how much energy they use/money they spend. People might become a little more energy-concious.

Some might say that precisely because one lives in a privileged society that one has a responsibility to think about and act on behalf of people who are adversely affected, but have no voice in that society. Progress and freedoms that we enjoy are not hand

On the ridiculously short timespan of the last century, temps have risen in most places, and from what i can gather, snowfall has dropped. When i was in Vancouver riding the lift with old-tiers, they used to tell of ice-skating on the pond in Stanley Park, which hardly freezes at all now. in Japan, older people talk about ice-skating on rice paddies, in places that are generallt too warm now.

What do you need poles for?

I can only handle Tokyo in short doses. Good music shopping, and i hve some friends i like to visit, but other than that, not much interests me, unless some band i want to see is playing. Places i usually visit in Tokyo The homeless village in Yoyogi koen- One of the tents functions as a cafe, where you can get tea or coffee. But not money allowed, it works on the barter system! Always interesting and friendly people there, and someone usually brings snacks to share. Has the nicest ambiance of any cafe in Tokyo in the summer!
