ysabetwordsmith made an interesting post today about Columbus Day.I commented that some friends of mine had recorded a song called 'Columbus (Didn't Find America)', and if I could find a link to it I would post one.
Well, I didn't find a video link, but I 'did' find an audio link to the track.
It is here for your listening enjoyment.
"Columbus didn't find America, it wasn't lost, it was always there..."

I was amazed at what they were doing. It is both 'green' and very inventive.
My first thought was, "What a great idea!"
My second thought was, "Why didn't I think of that?"

In other countries, recycling is 'normal' behavior.
My friend in England has two 'trash' days; one for household refuse and one for anything that can be recycled.
My cousin who lives in the 'big city' here in the US pays $5 a month to her municipality for a similar service.
These people are manufacturing kiosks which pay people to dispose of their recyclables in them. And they have proved to be a great success, especially where recycling laws have been passed.
You'd think with our drooping economy people would be looking for anyway to make a buck. But are these kiosks popular in the US? Are they buggery.
"It’s a tough time to introduce (recycling machines), as noble an idea as it is," she said. "You’ve got to be realistic and prioritize what will sell. People talk about recycling, but it is not a priority to them," concludes the article.
When will it become a priority; when we are dying because there is not enough oxygen in the air or water to sustain us (that's already a reality, folks), when we have used up every god-damned resource that Mother Nature so kindly gave us (think oil), when it is against the law to have kids (think China) because there are not the resources to support them?
Ye, gods, take me home now.
