Sea World Trainer Death kind of freaks me out by Jerry Hart

Ever since the Killer Whale Trainer death at Sea World, my heart keeps pulling me to understand where I stand with Americans frothing over killer whales in a big bathtub and most of all,   are they happy flapping thier fins to thousands of spectators in captivity.

After watching a heated episode of Larry King Live, I’m still seeking truth.  It’s easy to say we know what these Killer Whales feel, think or believe.

Are the trainers complete wackos when we see them love the whales and the whales love back? That can’t be fake and these are smart animals.

Are these myth?

  • Killer Whales at Sea World are hungry, they eat spools and spools in the ocean each day.
  • Killer Whales in the ocean only travel far for food, not excersize and peace of mind.
  • If Astronauts lose thier life for research, then whale trainers ought to be exempt from the risk of the occupation, like Astronauts?
  • Killer Whales are happy.  They were born into captivity
  • The Circus can be equated to Sea World in terms of abuse to animals.
  • Sea World provides the largest amount of research and spending on research than any other park like Sea World.

I am so confused by who’s telling the truth.

Is there a shot in hell we can believe Killer Whales are happy because they were born into captivity?

Perhaps, the latest trainer death explains how pissed off they really are at we human beings, the human race, self centered for the sake of entertainment.

I was repelled that Sea World had the whale that killed the trainer back in the spotlight performing within 4 days of the trainers death. Wow.

Watch the KILLER WHALE FIGHT on Larry King Live. What a show of rock throwing. No resolution but good TV.

Coming out of the dark and into the green by Jerry Hart

Bloomberg Box Technology GreenYou won’t believe it. If you founded a company, then, you secretly invent a revolutionary green product that makes everyone gasp for air.  Yes, that would be staggering.

Now, take it to another level.  You’re not ready to show your cards, your hand, your invention, and your staff spills the news to 60 minutes on CBS. You won’t believe that a box you hold in your hand can power a Wal-Mart.

The MountainView pioneer of Bloomberg Box, is  Sridhar, and he’s going public with his product  now? Turns out it wasn’t his idea – his customers are forcing him to show his hand. “They are pushing,” he admits. “They are saying if you’re not going to say anything we’re going to go out and say we’re doing this.”

Check out the video from CBS. It was pretty cool.

Cell Phones can turn people into idiots by Jerry Hart

cel-phoneI was sitting in an outdoor patio cafe for lunch and picked up the cell phone to answer a call. Within 30 seconds, the waitress plopped down a note saying,

“As a courtesy to other diners, please take cell phone calls outside the restaurant. Thank you”

The waitress swung by my table again and I asked her why she wouldn’t allow phone calls in a noisy patio cafe. She said, “we haven’t had one complaint when we request you step outside the cafe to use a cell phone.”

I think the policy is outrageous and inappropriate. Sure, they have the right to command a no cell phone zone, just as much as the boy scouts can kick you out of their private organization if you’re gay.

In 2010, we all can be more compassionate, conscious, respectful of others, after all, that is BEING GREEN.

If any place should be a no phone zone, it’s the bank! That’s where people turn into idiots, practically shouting like the person their talking too is a 95  year old with no hearing aid.

At my gym, they restrict phones around the workout equipment and in the locker rooms. I love that! but now, we have patio cafes at lunchtime banning cell phones, when life is moving at light-speed and we all have so much to get done in less time?

Your thoughts please? Is this B.S or am I hallucinating again?

Is this the new green cell phone revolution aimed to get unconscious, un-green, undeniably rude people out of our air space when we eat out?

The Green Police Eco-Whacky Audi spot during the Super Bowl, by Jerry Hart

audi-green-policeThe global warming industry is imploding from scientific scandals, inconvenient weather, economic anxiety and surging popular skepticism (according to a Pew Research Center survey released in January, global warming ranks 21st out of 21 in terms of the public’s priorities).

I guess a 21st ranking is enough for Audi to spend a million + bucks to persuade you during the SuperBowl

The moral of the story is that we should welcome our new green tyrants and, if we know what’s good for us, surrender to the New Green Order.

Audi’s “Green Police” depicts an America where citizens are arrested — roughly — for even minor environmental infractions. A man at the supermarket asks for a plastic shopping bag and has his head slammed against the counter as he’s cuffed by a Green Police officer. “You picked the wrong day to mess with the ecosystem, plastic boy,” quips the cop. When officers find a battery in the wrong suburban garbage bin, one big cop yells, “Battery! Let’s go! Take the house!”

Some eco-bloggers disliked the ad because it reinforces the association of undemocratic statism or PC bullying with environmentalism. Perhaps that’s why the New York Times dubbed it “misguided.”

Meanwhile, some conservatives didn’t like it because it makes light of what they believe is actually happening. After all, in America and Europe, the list of environmental crimes is growing at an almost exponential rate. The ad is absurd, of course, but not nearly as absurd as Audi thinks.

What was Audi’s intent? Presumably, to sell cars.

“The ad only makes sense if it’s aimed at people who acknowledge the moral authority of the green police,” writes Grist magazine’s David Roberts on the Huffington Post. The target audience, according to Roberts, are men who want to “do the right thing.” He’s certainly right that the ad isn’t aimed at people (whom he childishly mocks as “teabaggers”) who worry that their liberties are being slowly eroded.
