How to save the planet earth - primer!
Dec 22, 2009 5:38 PM
Stephen W Hawking and others have said that there is little hope for the continuation of life on earth given present trends which move life towards premature death and the planet into a cycle of poisonous gases and fumes!

My first try at a conservationist 'Save the Planet Theme' emphasizing the green artist thinking about the picture he wants to paint of the future earth. It is based on the innocence of a Norman Rockwell character. This is only a preliminary sketch!

He is puzzled as the systems are already there staring him in the face as he looks out the window to the sea and sees the surplus energy of the sun, the wind, and the waves. He is puzzled because these are the only sources of energy that earthly things can use if they are not to destroy the earth by altering a balance of chemicals and gases that has evolved over millions of years. We are closer to earth's destruction than we would admit because of our greed. In such a case, we are closer to an unprecedented period of violence than we can imagine. To many, the negative outlook would be a step towards a widespread war that would be the only solution.

In such a future era the love of God would not exist, most certainly would be dead to life on earth!

Everything that flows from inside the earth, it's gas, methane, petroleum, coal, volcanoes, and derivatives of methane that silently doom the earth to become again a dead planet like Murcury and Venus.

He sees how close we are to the tipping point and knows that the earth like all things will die a premature death without the love of caring artists in the use of what comes to us from the sun and the stars, the light, the sprites and solar winds.

We must make solar energy catchers such as sails, to drive our needs fir motion. By using the sun, we have no need to release further pollutants such as natural gas from the history of earth when it did not support life.

Sales tax revision for Ontario

Why it's simpler to quote the final cost to the buyer which includes all taxes!

For those of us who have been used to more advanced tax systems such as VAT, it comes as a big shock when we are in a backward tax country like Canada.

Ontario has just decided that instead of two taxes on top of the quoted prices seen by the consumer, the province will move to a simpler single tax amount that does not betray the split.

Wow, that must have had the professors of economics at U of T up all night! This no brainer for most Europeans used to advanced levels of social cooperation does not deminish the effort Ontario authorities have put on to get their sales tax onto a non-controversial plane.

Sure people may dislike the fact there are provincial and federal sales taxes, but the math need not be after what the buyer makes a decision on. Get the final number out there so that the consumer can make a sensible decision based on simple calculations like the net amounting one's pocket after a purchase.

It would be better had Ontario moved to a full progressive VAT tax system now that the systems are built into machinery and documentation worldwide and it's not such a burden for the seller!

Getting Ontario onto the modern age is a real struggle.

A Novel Method for Keeping Time

Decimal time

Have you heard of the idea to take time into decimals ending a three thousand year old tradition?

The idea floated would consist of a ten sip clock instead of twenty four hours. Instead of working eight hours people would work only three sips.

There would be a working day starting at three sips then a cup of coffee at four sips and lunch at five sips. At six sips, one would end one's working day. With four sips remaining and at least two further sips for sleep, one could fashion quite an easy life.

In a week, a labourer would put in 15 sips and about sixty sips in a month.

For the seasons, there would be about 900 sips per season and about 3600 per annum.

A few fanatics have proposed the word bell instead of sip. There was quite a debate whether ten bells seemed better than ten sips. The bell proposers were mainly from rural parts where the idea of ringing bells was very popular. The drinkers preferred sips and their larger numbers won the day.
