I thought that it would be a cool idea to let anyone who wanted to post something that they wanted to say on here. I mean its really hard to put down all my views on here. Guess thats why I never kept a diary. But I'm sure there are those of you out there that have opinions on stuff and wouldn't mind sharing it. I know one of my co-workers would need five pages just to get started on religion. Another would probably just post funny stuff. Think about it and if anyone wants to write something, go ahead and email it to me.
I have recently started watching a show called "Penn and Teller: Bullsh!t". The name says it all. Those secret giving magicians pick a topic and basically rip it apart and prove it to be Bullsh!t. This weeks episode was on recycling. Yep, recycling is a complete waste of time. The long and short of it is that recycling aluminum cans is the only one worth doing. The rest cost more to recycle than to actually make a new one, cause more pollution by recycling them, and don't cause and need for panic due to landfills filling up too fast. To recycle you need to send out another truck. You need machines to sort and process the items. Plus the machine to make the new items. The USA makes 220 million tons of garbage per year. To dispose of that amount of garbage you would need a hole 35 X 35 miles wide and 200 feet high. USA has a land mass of 9,161,923 sq kms. The only reason recycling carries on is because it's thought of as the right thing to do. And the government releases figures showing that its saving materials.
They have also done shows on "the war on drugs", "animal rights organisations (PETA, ALF)" and "Phrophets such as Nostradamus". I guess when you are given information for as long as you can remember you just accept it as truth. But when someone gives you the other side of the coin perspective, it really opens your eyes to how blinkered you've been. Then it gets you thinking about other things that you have always believed to be true. How far do you go? Have we been visited my aliens? Are we alone in the universe? Hmm I wonder...
