We live in a society filled with bad, bad ideas. Gigli, The Bill Engvall Show, Txt Me Tees. With all of these contrived, truly terrible ideas being created and than marketed around me, I tried to give one bad a chance. On July 23, CNN is going to host a debate for the Democratic presidential hopefuls. The futuristic twist to this debate is that anyone in the country can submit a 30 second video to Youtube, and there is a chance that your question could be read to the candidates.

In theory, allowing the public to voice their own questions would put an end to the drawn out, scripted questions of past presidential debates. After reading the press release for the event, I immediately thought of the potential of such event; hard hitting questions, from real people. You can’t discredit the real people! My enthusiasm was short lived however when I saw the Anderson Cooper promo commercial, and I finally got a clue to what type of event this will be. (more…)

Today is 7/7/07 and besides being the biggest day for weddings, like, ever, it is a big day for Planet Earth. As I told you before, Live Earth, a concert to benefit the planet/spread awareness of global warming will rock the planet (from all around the world) from morning until night.And while it will be an awesome show, today’s extravaganza is about a lot more than making some snacks and enjoying some good music with friends. Live Earth is a chance to begin something huge and make great strides in changing the way we treat this planet. And no one knows more about this than one Mr. Al Gore.

Who, by the way, personally sent me an email to alert me of the upcoming concert. Well, “personallyâ€? might be a strong word.

But that is beside the point; the real point is that Mr. Gore has asked me to sign a pledge to change my actions and make a more positive impact on my beautiful planet. He also asked me to pass the pledge along.

So here it is: The Live Earth Pledge. Read it, click it and sign it. And begin making the difference that this earth so desperately needs.

I PLEDGE:

1. To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;

2. To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become “carbon neutral;â€? (more…)
