Global Warming - YOU are at fault

Here it is folks. In the cheesiest short video ever - you will be amazed at how awful you SHOULD feel because of YOUR part in the global warming fiasco. Straighten up global inhabitants. The 6 billion of us should be ashamed. (sarcasm intended)

Watch this video.

Now, before you get all upset - I DO think we need to take care of our environment. We need to subdue it. Populate it. Care for it. Watch over it. But I do NOT agree that WE are the primary fault for what's happening. And putting all kinds of unreasonable restrictions and progress-limiting requirements on our already floundering economy is only going to exacerbate the problem. I'm just sayin'.

The Sterilization of America - guest blog

This blog is from Scott Eaton - our illustrious Executive Pastor... also known as XP! He sent me this idea and I just decided to publish it - as is. So here goes!

I found it troubling how the evolving demands of the current tourism public are actually causing us to lose a lot of our historical character that caused places to become tourist attractions in the first place.

Both in Monterrey and in San Francisco, blocks and blocks of historic buildings have been bulldozed along with the prior occupants of those buildings, and replaced with much more functional modern buildings that contain homogenized versions of the western world.

The fact there is enough demand by the public to eat at a Joe’s Crab Shack at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf is sad, not to mention the Rainforest Café, In-N-Out Burger, and all the other corporate outlets we can all find back in our own neighborhood.

The days of being exposed to a different area with its own unique character and personality are quickly disappearing. Instead, we seem to me migrating to a point where we can all get different flavors of the same basic thing we are all comfortable with. Is that really healthy for us in an increasingly global economy and world?
