My Favorite Ways to Procrastinate

The view from the 7th floor of the NYU Library (giant atrium in the middle). This reminds me of something, but I can’t quite pointpoint what (and no, not the “harvesting babies” scene in Matrix). Any other ideas?

I try not to procrastinate any longer but when I was a college student I was a very capable procrastinator. Soap operas and good science fiction would be my tools of choice whenever I was procrastinating over writing my term papers. Once I got to writing, I was fine, it was simply the case of getting started. Always the hardest part, starting.

Do you believe in UFO’s?

I think that the odds of us being the only ones in the universe are smaller than the odds of us not being alone. Why would we be the only ones blessed to be alive in this wonderful world and universe? We can share existence and life, there is more than enough to go around. I feel very generous, if there is God and I do want to believe that there is God, I would think that He is generous as well. Why would he just create us? Why not others to suit other galaxies and universes?

I don’t understand why certain people feel threatened by the thought of other life-forms sharing the universe with us. It isn’t ours. Actually, I wish that we as a race could come to accept that the Earth isn’t ours, as well. We have only been appointed its steward, a job that we are failing at miserably. It would be nice if at some point a more advanced civilization would come, take pity on us, and offer some really good advice as to how we can turn the harm we have inflicted on our planet around. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful gift. We can’t wait for help from a higher plane, we need to take action now and continue to tell our respective governments that urgent action needs to be taken about the environment and our awful reliance on fossil fuel.

It’s interesting how easily one can go from one topic, UFO’s, to another topic, the environment, when you’re engaged in a free-flowing thought process, where the words flow from your head directly to your fingers, that tap the keyboard, that then appear on the computer screen. Funny, how instantaneous, it all is. I like the way I sometimes don’t know where the post will go or how it will end.

Congress Approval Rating: Poll Shows 87% Disapprove Of Congress

In any negotiatio­n, compromise is always the goal, of course both parties will argue their points as convincing­ly as possible to persuade the other party to come over to their position, but if that doesn’t work than compromise is the solution. And then you have the GOP. You can’t in any manner, shape or form say that democrats do not compromise­, they do in spades. The GOP with their obstinate refusal to consider revenue increase on those that can afford it are bringing this country down. Over in Europe, France and Germany are being proactive about the revenue question because they are up close to what happened in London. They realize that the privatizat­ion of all things in the public arena is bad for democracy as a whole. They also realize that wide gaps in income equality due to stagnant wages of workers and the predominan­ce of the financial sector leads to greater private household debt for middle class families in order to maintain their standard of living and it leads to public debt because with the decline of revenue and increased demand of social programs it all leads to debt. Unbridled capitalism has reached its apex, and it isn’t looking good for society as a whole.
