I only mentioned conservatives (thanks for pointing out the typo so humbly btw) because often when I happen to watch Fox news for a while there is someone saying that global warming is just an invention by liberal scientists. Ok, believe that if you wish.
About the bicycle thing – the notion that someone has to die for my right to put a few drops of oil on my bicycle chain is so ridiculous that I regret having commented on it.
The Kyoto deal is far from perfect, but it could at least have been a start.
After Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, the US has the highest oil consumption per capita in the world and by far the highest total consumption of all countries. Even if oil is being burnt in an otherwise clean way, it always produces carbon dioxide which is… oh, I forgot what they said on Fox news.. there cannot possibly be a connection between the increased level of CO2 in the atmosphere and the temperature rise + freaky weather…
Regardless of whether the oil resources of the world are starting to run dry, we need to stop burning oil at the pace we’re doing. How badly does the weather need to be fucked up before conservatists realize that global warming just might be a reality?
The Kyoto agreement could have been a good start, but we all know that a certain superpower refused to sign it… and now – if I’m interpreting the ineffable me correctly – that superpower is fighting wars in order to make it possible to continue burning oil just like before for a few more extra years… Isn’t that just beautiful?
Well many issues are complicated, but sometimes something is simply wrong or right.. and however I look at it, blood for oil is simply wrong.
Your little rant about oil on bicycle chains was funny though….

The world runs on oil. You cannot deny that. It is the one thing that every nation of the world has in common, period. Without oil, the world would cease to be. If you want to stop the war in Iraq, I highly suggest you sell your car, quit using electricity, and basically, quit consuming any type of good that relies on oil in some way or another to get to you. I figure if we all go back to hunting/ gathering societies, this should curb the world oil demand.
Wait a sec. Are you saying that #2 is a legitimate reason to start a war, or that it should even be a factor to take into account when deciding to start a war?
Sold my car years ago…
I said driven by religious fanatism and I meant it seriously. I remember seeing some tv documentary about Bush from the time before the 2000 election when he was up against Al Gore. In an interview made while he was the governor of Texas, the issue of reviewing death sentences came up and the interviewer asked Bush whether he, after signing a death warrent, ever had any doubts that he had made the right decision . Bush reply was that once his decision was made, he trusted that God had helped him make the right one and thus he never needed to lose any sleep over it.
So, the US election day is here shortly and for some unintelligible reason it looks like a smug self-righteous clown driven by religious and ideological fanatism has a good chance of having it go his way again. Well, the world is full of politicians that are smug self-righteous clowns, but as this particular clown is claiming that "I believe It is our duty to lead the world", thereby making him the self-proclaimed leader of this planet – which just so happens to be my planet too – I feel it is my duty to express my utmost disgust at the thought of him leading anything as much as my dirty underwear to the washing machine.
So, you might end up in Stockholm. Well let’s go for a drink if we should happen to be there at the same time.
As far as Sweden compared to Czech rep… I could write loads but I’m too tired for it now. Let’s just say that there are lovely people and idiots no matter where you go – and an idiot often comes in the shape of a bureaucrat here.
By the way.. the best Czech band I’ve heard thus far is Uz Jsme Doma – and they’re totally awesome!

You need an anger management course too. It’s just not nice to punch people just because they’re a little annoying, although, admittedly, sometimes it just seems like the thing to do.
Anyway, what exactly would you hope to achieve with the ice thing? I’m not sure I get that.
Well it’s too sad he doesn’t have an intern that can give him a good blowjob – then he wouldn’t have to play God with other people’s lives to get off.

Doing swell here, thanks for asking. Well work-wise things were a bit slow at first but now I’m really getting into the project I’m working on – and off-work I’m seeing a woman from Belgium who’s a musicologist in the process of writing a thesis about the Czech composer Leos Janacek. Her comment when I played her "the Lung" was sth like "Oh, I don’t dislike it, but the person singing sounds like he wants to be a really tough macho guy although he’s really a soft little teddy bear"
Och hur staar det till i Norge?
I’m a theoretical physicist, doing research on the gravitational fields of compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes. Didn’t plan to be one it just happened, but it scares me that I’m getting older (I’m 31) and oughtta start thinking about if I really want it as my career.. brrrr, hate that word, "It threatens my freedom!" as a woman I recently fancied said to me after I called her a few times too many to ask her to go out with me again. I guess at my age I should know that "you can call me anytime" really means "you can call me anytime, but mind you, should I not be in the mood for it you’d better just bugger off." Well I also work only when I have to, and sometimes not even when I have to because "I’m so bloody good working under pressure that I don’t mind having loads of it before I get started", as I sometimes think to myself.
