Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    "wear nothing activists to do nothing politicians...stop global warming now!"

    good stuff!

    as per National Graphic:
    "What better way to call attention to shrinking natural assets?"

    I wonder if this was no pun intended directed towards the all the men in attendance?

    I can hear the all guys now...no really...it really does happen because of the cold!

    *although actually, the one and only time i ever stood on a glacier...the weather was beautiful! of course, i wasn't nekkid though. :D

    yea, i'd think in person that may give it away. ;) haha. it's really quite funny how usernames can skew perspectives, and why some names read male or female. keeps it all interesting anyway. :)


    and......on my honeymoon 15 years ago this past june......in alaska......and HELL YES! unfuckingbelievable! everyone should walk on a glacier at least once in life! :D sooooo many places to see, so little time in this life.....but awe-inspiring indeed!



    it absolutely IS a great statement....love it! fantastic visual, great words!

    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    Anyway, they are pretty cool.

    Alaska? lucky you. I have a series of videos and pictures from Alaska that are simply mind blowing. One day.

    they look like drawings rather than photos
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

    A truly liberal person is conservative when necessary.

    Pro-life by choice.

    Thanks Jeanie, some of his stuff is wild! I'd love to be on the set during the shoots...not in them, but part of his crew.

    Yeah - that "protest" will do wonders, I'm sure.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    All those hairy, farting, carbon emitting arses are really going to do that glacier some good.
