  Bernard Keane / Monday, 23 November 2009 / 1

Forgive my serious turn First Dog but after laughing all the way through the essay above ….I realised…… Distractions? YES! from the major cause (?) of global warming not only the industry of producing the weapons but the actual firing, bombing, blasting, detonating etc while people try to kill each other and anyone who happens to be around actually, not to mention the natural environment. OMFG! Is anyone even measuring the impacts of this? How come we think that war must happen? Its natural? I need something like a bex and a good lie down.
