SCRAPs, AD.2008.04.29.ICT - EcoBuddhism?

As I filed out with the excited, chattering, and very young crowd, I felt the kind of heart-stopping pity that makes it hard for me to be hard on my students. After all, I’m not going to be around for that much longer. But these bright young beings, full of energy—do they think they can inherit the economy, but not the earth?

-- Wendi Adamek, of Columbia's Green Tara Dialogues, in The 'Economics of Climate Change' Koan, 2007.Jun.10


This day in IndoChina, the "NotAble NotIons" section evolved into "NotIons from the NotAbles", since it usually includes the most interesting, amusing or frightening SCRAPs from the most authoritative sources of the day. The "Pic" section became "The Pic".

And... the Climate Cull continues: more epidemic fears, more oil-addiction cold turkey, rich humans fearing they too may face feed shortages, more Asian rain-forest slashing for feeding more humans, another earthquake, in Okinawa this time, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum.

Concurrently, humanity's over-stuffed, affluent oldies have been offered new software to counter senility. Canada's conservatives are outed on their attempt to sabotage the Obamanon. Iraqi children weep over Saddam Hussein's birthday. And Chinese kids are sold into slavery "like cabbages".

On the lighter side, there may have been "Crystal Meth[od]" in the madness of CNN's Richard Quest -- when he tied his balls to his neck with a friend in New York's Central Park. "Real" solutions to the Climate Cull are proposed. Buddhism has some suggestions, too. The Worldometer puts "real-time" stats online so we can all supposedly gauge global hope versus despair, whenever we want. Canadian strip club polecats complain they're losing work to Net porn. And the Stitch n' Bitch appears! (See knithappens.com ;))

And also today, some 22,347 unique Web SCRAPs have been saved to disk since March 2007. Each is linked to the location it was saved from by this blog. See BeLow. For more on method/madness, see right.
