So much to say

Well, it has been a busy couple of days.

First, it turns out that China has Carbon Credits. China? Carbon Credits? From the nation of Brown Air and Deadly Rivers? How is this possible? Well, it certainly isn't because they are cleaning up their act. The Yangtze and Yellow river are still so bad that they won't fish you out if you fall in (it is kinder to let the people drown than get fished out and die of the infections). And Beijing still has Brown Air that on the worst days makes visibility beyond four blocks difficult.

So where are they getting these Carbon Credits? Because the Chinese Communist Party forces abortions upon women pregnant with a third child. Yes, that's right, they are getting Carbon Credits because they are aborting children. Centrally Mandated Abortions at that. This isn't the sin of the US, with Voluntary abortions. This is strapping women to a steel slab and forcing the abortion regardless of whether the woman wants to do so.

It almost makes the Eco-Disaster that China is heading towards seem karmic.

Then, an Australian Minister has recently declared that in his opinion, those who advocate against Global Warming should have their citizenship revoked. But don't worry, he is a member of the Tolerant Left. Those who undergo "RE-EDUCATION" on the matter will be able to get their citizenship back.

So, now us Heretics are to have the Inquisition sicked on us if we live in Aussie Land eh? Well, they will be surprised at how many of us there actually are. Especially after the Australian Broadcasting Corporation put a page on their website that declares that Aussies who live past the age of FIVE are criminals because they have lived to long and used too much of the planet's resources.

If there are any Australians reading this, which I doubt, I mainly ever get hits from Kansas (or Rochester when ever I mention Hillary Clinton...), but on the off chance that there are, organize a protest against this. And let them know that the debate is not over.

I strongly encourage all my readers to go out and buy Red Hot Lies. I know that it is going on my Christmas list. And on the one that goes out to my liberal Grandmother at that. Maybe she will crack it open before she wraps it...

As my guitar gently weeps

It is a sad day for all of us Heretics. Michael Crichton died yesterday at the age of 66 from cancer. If you will recall, I had praised him previously for his book, State of Fear, in which he chronicled the Church against which we fight to this day.

But for me, he was more than just an Icon of Heresy. He was also a hero. I started writing in the summer of third grade, when my father, sick of having to watch Jurassic Park a thousand times a day, dropped the book in my lap and told me I couldn't watch the movie until I had finished the book. That night, my dad and I talked about the implications of Chaos Theory on Evolution for an hour and a half. I was a precocious child.

Since that day, I have been writing. And no matter what my other career ambitions, being a writer was always one of them. And so, Michael Crichton, I would like to say simply that you will be well and truly missed.

John Michael Crichton M.D. October 23, 1942 - November 4, 2009. Rest in Peace.
