I do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, it's an opportunity to build on our faith, inner strength, and courage. I've learned that how we face challenges plays a big role in the outcome of them.

Life and work have been hectic the last few days. Yesterday was Earth Day, where we return to our pagan ways and praise Gaia.
What’s the deal with Earth Day? It was claimed to be founded by a number of people. The most interesting was Ira Einhorn. If you do a little research on Mr. Einhorn, you may come across some particularly interesting biographies…
Maybe long-time Earth Day advocate Ira Einhorn took the whole “recycling” thing a little too far when he “composted” his girlfriend’s remains in a trunk in his closet...
“After bludgeoning his girlfriend of five years to death, fracturing her skull in a dozen places, Ira stuffed her body into a trunk, which he packed into a closet where it remained until discovered by the police nearly two years later.”
Incredibly, Ira Einhorn isn’t the only leftwing activist who founded a holiday and was convicted of committing an act of violence against a woman. As I wrote here last December, the fake holiday Kwanzaa sprang from the fevered imagination of an African-American radical who’d served jail time for torturing one of his female comrades.
Ira Einhorn just took his hypocrisy, sense of superiority and entitlement a little farther than the average Leftist. And he got caught.
The objectives of Earth Day have become more interesting:
With negotiations for a new global climate agreement coming up in December, Earth Day 2009 must be a day of action and civic participation, to defend The Green GenerationTM’s core principles:
- A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.
- An individual’s commitment to responsible, sustainable consumption.
- Creation of a new green economy that lifts people out of poverty by creating millions of quality green jobs and transforms the global education system into a green one.
I can understand the sustainable and responsible part. But like the Nuclear Power debate, ‘Carbon Free’ is not a rational and technical debate, it is emotional. Some facts…
Man made, CO2 contribution is less than 1% of the total greenhouse gas contribution. 1%. Large reductions in man made CO2 will not have an effect. CO2 is less than 5% of the total greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
In a recent post, a Spanish study indicated that for every ‘Green Job’, 2.2 traditional jobs will be lost.
And now, we have a new link between obesity and global warming…
