OK, it's late and I was getting ready to go to bed, I was scanning channels and I found Live Earth concert, I thought well, I'll check it out for a minute.
They had a commercial with a bunch of kids saying stuff like we have to stop polluting the air... we are killing the ozone, with clips from Al Gore's movie.
Well, first of all... kids... do you know how much energy it took to put on this concert or make that commercial?

For Sting(k) to do his thing with all that giant video behind him, do you think he brought some electricity with him, or anybody else that performed, maybe they had it as a carry-on on that private jet they flew in on.. I wonder how much energy that plane used..?

Alright, lets stop all the "pollution" that people are creating, lets start with heat, air conditioning, batteries of any kind, that means no more video games, cellphones, Ipods or TV!

We should stop all industry too, that would mean no more CD's or plastics or iron or chemicals. Now we are down to eating cold food, which has to be eaten raw because you can't cook it, and what are you eating? Meat? Yes you are, well how are you going to kill it? No industry means no bullets, you will have to make your own arrows or spears, and vegetables that are grown without any pesticides because that is a chemical which has to be produced by a factory, oh and by the way, half of all the vegitables you grow will be eaten by insects without those pesticides.
Oh and, those clothes that make you so popular in school, forget those too, they were also made in a factory, do you realize how much energy it takes to make clothes too small for girls and too big for boys?

Energy has to be created with hydro-electric plants, fossil fuel or nuclear electric stations, would you be willing to live like a caveman (literally)? then you have a voice, if not, go to school and get a degree so you can help, otherwise you are just noise, remember, information is knowledge, therefore good...

Ask the people that performed at that concert what they would be willing to give up, my crib would be my cave. Ask them if they would give up their "bling" to set an example for the rest of the world, I know the answer and so do you!
Our lives are made better and more "convenient" by industry and that has a by-product that we have to deal with.
Don't knock on my door with a $1200 suit and ask me to give to the poor! and that is what the the million dallar people from Hollywood are doing!
Have you ever seen the show Cribs? Do you know what it cost in energy to run a house like that? Don't get me wrong, if someone can go out and make a nice living out of being a singer (and I use the term loosely) then, go for it, that's what makes this country great!
If you want to put on a concert to tell people how bad it is for the earth because we drive cars, than walk to the concert with your instruments on your back!

Pay attention or pay the price!
