Grey Oof! Just saw this now, Siona.... Yeah, flutters I think it was... no, "flaps", but I don't like it much. "Flutter" was the name to replace "Grapevine". Anyway, I just used "tweets" here because it's more readily recognizable. :) (9 months ago)

Nukes, Hippies and crystal meth...

A good title is crucial isn't it…

In the latest Playboy issue, James Lovelock, the inventor of the Gaia theory, proposes that biofuels, wind/solar power and other renewables are only getting attention, because oil companies are pushing them. They are doing this because they know that these fuel sources will never be able to supply very much power and will keep the need for oil and coal high.
He suggests that our green future is in nuclear. Modern nuclear power is the safest and most green source of power we have in the world today he suggests and has the numbers to back up the statement. He cites modern plants that he visited in France that utilized new forms of nuclear fuel that degrade much faster and have only 10% of the radioactivity of past spend fuel rods.

Later in the Magazine, Frank Owen, write about how the summer of love in 1967, on Haight street, S.F., has directly lead to the crystal meth problem the country is facing today. I recommend checking out this issue.

Yeah, believe it or not. I was actually going to end that post with that statement. I wish there was another magazine out there that was as uncensored and honest about reporting what is going on without the naked pics, but I can't find one. The naked women are always photographed in a way that it is really more art than pornography.
In the issue before this one, there was a really great article about women's sexuality in Iran and the feminists who are working there. All the other popular magazines out there that would report on this kind of stuff are lodged squarely within the green meme to the point of MGM issues. Playboy seems to get around this problem.
