"In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment." Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
Harvard Classics 1909-14 IV. Natural Selection; or the Survival of the Fittest
What is the day to bring today? It’s a daily watch, sometimes an hourly market watch not just of money, but a watch of time.
Money… a necessary factor in living day to day, but I always found the more you have the more stressed you become that you will one day loose that false sense of security that money = happiness. Money brings much you can enjoy, all the nice things in life, luxuries, elegance, prestige, but in the end what survival will you know if suddenly it was all lost, taken away, or it became useless?
Look at what happened during the Great Depression and the unfortunate answer to that question as the loss amounted to many people ending their life as they felt the loss of money or a job was the end, for if they couldn’t live by their standard of means they were accustomed to, they felt there was no meaning of life to live.
My fear is what may happen to people if we are to go through a crisis again, in this century how many could really survive what may yet to come? North Americans are used to such a certain standard of living with our transportation, communications, accessibility to clean water, shelves stocked with food, fresh fruit and vegetables, going about our daily lives, waiting for the weekend, the vacations, retirement, yet the future may not hold this and preparation of change needs to be thought out, but is it taken seriously enough or are we still to afraid to face what consequences may soon to come? more

Can We Rationalize Freedom?
Photo by Ron Gaston...Please Help Keep Canada Alive
A price tag on everything, even how much carbon per person we can burn. A debit card with everything you purchase or use, deducting from your account in which if you go over can buy credits from someone else. Can this be the way of the future to help control climate change? Will you choose to burn your emissions cap on driving your Hummer or heating your home?
Is climate change really a financial burden to governments when only a small percentage they would actually spend. READ MORE

Let's Turn Up The Heat and Help Save The Planet
Ontario Wide Gas Strike...Run on Natural Energy
Monbiot tells all in his book "Heat--How to Stop the Planet from Burning". In Chapter 3 "The Denial Industry" he disproves some experts who have carelessly released reports denying any affects of man made climate change. Those who are coincidently the same people who have been funded by the world's most profitable corporation, with a reporting in autumn 2005 of quarterly earnings exceeding $10 million dollars, the highest corporate earnings on record.
Naming a few , Monbiot exposes the broken link in their claims and their means of continuing the denial that is affecting more people, islands and our precious wildlife most recently the polar bears daily then they want to claim responsibility for and have stated will continue to drill as a threatened species habitat shouldn't be a deterent.
