Just think, this tiny little speck of a place in the universe is where everyone who has every lived...lived. Where everyone you ever knew...lived. Where everyone you ever loved...or not, lived. Where everyone you ever voted for...or not, lived.
It is an humbling thought, methinks.

and they have no regard for the blue dot they live on.
YD G---Yes indeed.
Even though it is only one world, it too often seems like we're not living in the same world! I mean, on my planet, people matter more than corporate profits, education and health care ARE rights, and chocolate has no calories.
Nice job on the video.
This remiinds me of the PBS show "Big Blue Marble" that ran in the 70's and 80's.
The other reminder of the Blue Speck is "the galaxy around Orion's belt" in MIB which was a small golden globe around a cat's neck and contained a whole galaxy.
The ironic part is that for most of them money is just a way of keeping score. You can't tell me any of those politicians and their masters need any more money to live.
intell---I don't even need beaming down...I am already there with you. I'm that older dude giving out chocolate.
Thank you for the compliment.
Chimp---Well, I didn't want to blatantly steal their term, so I changed it a bit...to spec...er, speck.
I read a sci-fi novel as a kid which had the same idea as the galaxy in the globe, except the galaxy was in a class ring, as I recall.
Kulkuri---No shit. It's disgusting.
Whenever puny humans make a statement like "we are causing global warming" I think of a bunch of ants yelling, "The sky is falling!" when a leaf falls on their anthill.
Funny video. And the search for intelligent life continues...
Chimp---Can't say I'm with you on this one, Chimp.
Tom---Perhaps it's time to look elsewhere.
That film could have lasted for hours and not touched half of the bases...
squatlo---This is true, but I am too damned lazy to upload anything much longer to YouTube.
I wonder if the blue spec is really blue from afar. It doesn't matter, it'll soon be dust. But WTF! Happy St. Paddy's Day.
Mr. C---Well for sure it ain't green. Likewise, pal.
If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky? HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY!!!
Chimp---If he picked it in the woods and no one else was around. Erin go braugh, monkey man!
The video was very well done. Keep it up.
Punch---Go raibh maith aga.
I think it's amazing that on this tiny speck of a planet, Newt has found at least three women willing to have sex with him.
Professor C---HAR! And that's not even counting the inflatable ones.
Newt probably told his ladies and the latex one that it was his patriotic duty to screw them and as good American FOX viewers, they complied. Besides, his Viagra shelf life was expiring.
Chimp---I have it on good authority that Newt is no longer able to buy inflatables...he's been cut off by his supplier. His hot air keeps bursting them and he demands replacements...for free.
Go raibh maith aga??? WTF???
Oh Jesus...just go google it! Punch.
conservative Fox News pundit Bill Kristol is wishing the U.S. would send in ground troops "sooner rather than later."
Chimp---Liberal Independent news pundit JJ is wishing the U.S. Army conscript Bill Kristol and send his sorry ass "sooner than later" to Libya...duct taped to a Cruise Missle.
There are those of us who care about the planet and then there's the republicans.
Demeur---Well said.
BTW, thanks for visiting. I neglected to give you the post title regards labor union advancements: iA Note to the Idjit Element of America.</i (3 or 4 posts back)
