Robrief no. 1: African Union Backs Mugabe as “Hero”?
How sickening. Mugabe’s people have been committing horrible acts of violence and murder to the other opposition groups and their supporters hoping to kick Mugabe from power in Zimbabwe but Mugabe himself was sworn in as president anyway not too long ago. Soon, he took a flight to Egypt to attend a summit for the members of the African Union. Did they shun and condemn him for what he and his supporters did in Zimbabwe as of late? No, just vocal “concerns” for the situation in Zimbabwe and scolded Western countries for being clumsy.

They regarded him as “hero”*! Absolutely revolting. African Union is filled with dictators, thieves, liars and murderers.

* The article did had a President-for-life of Gabon, Omar Bongo, saying as quoted, “We have even received Mugabe as a hero,” before it was edited, even the tone of the article was changed from guarded positive reaction to Mugabe’s election to guarded ambivalent position taken up by African Union members toward Mugabe. Another sign of mainstreamed media dishonesty permeating upon the public perception.

Robrief no. 2: Firefighters vs Fire in California, They Needed Your Prayers
Let’s give hope and prayers to the brave firefighters fighting to contain and end the incredibly raging inferno hitting northern California. They could sure really use our prayers and hope for a better wet weather condition to extinguish the inferno throughout sooner than later. Few other states have reported wildfires raging in some places. Hang in there, guys!

Robrief no. 3: IMF to audit the entire US financial system
This is a first: International Monetary Federation is going to audit the entire U.S. financial system:

Officials with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have informed Bernanke about a plan that would have been unheard-of in the past: a general examination of the US financial system. The IMF’s board of directors has ruled that a so-called Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) is to be carried out in the United States. It is nothing less than an X-ray of the entire US financial system.

Wow. Think it is about time? Is Ben’s days numbering? Who knows? It would take a while for IMF to conduct this first-of-a-kind audit, given the huge size, complexity, depth and range of the U.S. financial system. Read it all here from Spiegel.de (German online news service).

Robrief no. 4: Ahmadinejad’s wife is a stunningly gorgeous woman!
For the first time in recent memory, the wife of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s Napoleonic president, made a public appearance during a state visit to Turkey sometime ago. Whoa. Even Carla Bruni, the wife of President Sarkozy of France, look like a pop-tart compared to Ahmadinejad’s black burqa-wearing stunner of a wife.

Seriously, this is the first time the wife of Napoleon… err… Ahmadinejad making a public appearance, less alone a state visit. Joséphine, she isn’t. Frankly, I’m rather dismayed by the appearance of the wife wearing the burqa, as if Ahmadinnerjacket doesn’t wanted the world to see his wife for who she is as a person, not for what she is to him.

Robrief no. 5: The Cult of Obama?
Artists are “glorifying” Obama in artworks.

People wanted to be named “Hussein”.

What’s next? Adopting his “looks” and “persona”?

I think the whole adulation of Obama is bordering on absurdity. He’s a Chicago politician running for U.S. President, not Jesus Christ in fancy suits and tie.

Robrief no 6: Surge Ready! New deployments tied to JSOC’s operations against Iran?
Dept. of Defense, as reported by GlobalSecurity.org, just today made an announcement of the deployment of six significant combat brigades to Iraq beginning early 2009. This is a very significant news, since a recent report regarding President Bush ordering the “ramp-up” of U.S. covert operations on Iran. Word of caution: this does not mean war drummers are dragged out of the closets, dusted off and told to beat the war-drums hard. Actually, it is only a strategic and geopolitical move to exert further and greater pressures on Iran and watch for their sudden reactions.

WALL-E: Wonderful Movie!

I absolutely love this movie! The animation is so visually rich and well-crafted, the story being very much a Charlie Chaplinesque movie, at least seems like Charlie Chaplin is reincarnated as the little trash-compacting robot and gave his best performance, even though the title character is fictional. Pixar Studios and Walt Disney pulled this off beautifully and well-done, their productions, visual designs and effects on the film have moved digital animation to new heights.

WALL-E is also the first movie to have two non-regular “acting” entities – a person and a software program – in non-speaking roles. Ben Burtts, the sound designer who gave us the sounds of Darth Vader, Chewbacca, ET and so on, is the “voice and sounds” of WALL-E. MacInTalk is the “sounds” of AUTO, the autopilot of the starship Axiom. Truly an original move for an original, soon-to-be classic, movie.

However, the movie has an obvious ecologically-minded message about the destructive nature of consumerism, which renders the human race into pampered, helpless and overweight baby-like adults, being totally dependent on automatons and robots catering their every need and want, not to mention being completely overwhelmed by aggressive corporate marketing and technological gimmicks. It’s really disturbing to see them in that fashion, given today’s consumerism, corporate marketing gimmicks and dependence on latest, must-have technology in the real world, therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised that the human race could head in that same direction, ending up like those pampered, helpless, overweight adults. Before the film starts, about ten minutes, I was bombarded with relentless consumer-oriented and media ads, having made me completely scornful of them before it starts (cartoon promos from the Cartoon Network are appallingly annoying). I wish I could vent at those peoples who made them to knock off their garbage nonsenses before the start of any film.

Clearly, the movie give you a nonchalantly important message in a very underlining, lighthearted manner in the form of a sweet, trash-compacting robot dutifully doing its job on trash-filled Earth, wondering if anyone out in space could come back someday. For the deaf/HOH movie-lovers out there, go see it, even without captioning or subtitles. It is that kind of a visually-rich silent movie with all the nuances and actions that will have you chuckling or laughing out. WALL-E is that kind of movie not seen nor experienced in decades.

Leaving you off with this conclusion, which I hope would serve you an important reminder in the future: don’t be entirely dependent on high technology, no matter how cool, awesome or advanced it looks or helps. Make technology (robots, computers, automatons) useful and functionally necessary for you without ever giving up the physical, intellectual and mental conditions that make you human. There are things that even computer, robotic or automaton technology, no matter the innovation or ingenuity, could never duplicate or actualize many certain things humans do for real. We have so much potentials to grow, to explore and reach out everywhere, to achieve the possibilities and the impossibilities, and we are just beginning to scratch the surface ourselves. Why stop ourselves?

Keep going. Keep the dreams alive.

Robrief no. 1: SCOTUS backs 2nd Amendment Right to Own Guns for Americans
This is a great day for the supporters of the Second Amendment. A 5-4 ruling of the Supreme Court today have finally clarified the very legal meaning of one’s right to bears (keep/own) arms in home, on person or for lawful purposes such as defense against violent criminals, terrorists or tyrannical authorities kicking down your door to take you away based on unfounded suspicion or political dissent. It is a very laid-down basic ruling, clearing the way for better legal understanding of what the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is for any American who wanted to bear arms for specific purposes, common defense and common sense. The D.C.’s law on guns is simply stupid and utterly egregious, home invasions and violent crimes in D.C. have been skyrocketing as of late, hitting places where people have no guns to defend themselves and the police taking too long to respond.

In Ohio, Govenor Ted Strickland, a Democrat, endorsed and signed a recent bill into self-defense law, supporting the Ohio’s Castle Doctrine, as reported from the Columbus Dispatch, on June 11th, 2008, giving every Ohioan the right to use guns to defend their homes and blow away home-invading intruders (statewide, the rate of home invasions have been going up and up).

Gun control nuts are in the same league as with the Nazis and the Communists, history have proven this very well. They will use every conceivable argument to ban handguns and other defensive weapons based on the ill-conceived assumption that people like you or me cannot be trusted to hold and keep a gun to defend ourselves and must rely on law enforcement officials to protect me/you/us 24/7/365. Simply absurd and not grounded in reality. The outlaws will find ways to obtain guns illegally and commit crimes. The organized criminal or street gangs, radical militant groups or terrorist networks can obtain weapons illegally as easily as they could get anyway and use them for criminal or violent means. They don’t give a shit about the concerns of gun control wimps and are not even afraid of law enforcement officials either, even so, they’ve been getting bolder in the last few years and if the worrisome trend continues, they could be viewing federal and state law enforcement officials as “enemy combatants” subjected to summary termination or violent subjugation (“arrested as POWs” or taken as hostages). The war on terror, gang or drug cartel could reach new levels not seen in many years, as recent action movies, popular video games and the best-selling graphic novel, DMZ, seem to me as indicators for things to come.

It’s the law-abiding citizens and their right to bear arms who are being “shafted” by these idiotic gun control wimps. The four dissenting SC judges are all liberal and they would have wish for five more liberal SC judges to outlaw the 2nd Amendment forever. Without it, the U.S. Constitution and freedom in America would be no more.

Think about that, people. Even though freedom isn’t free, people still believe in freedom, take it for granted and will fight for it. Let’s not resort ourselves to barbaric and misguided notions for peace’s sake only.

Robrief no. 2: Mexican Soldier Arrested in Arizona Home Invasion and Homicide
Don’t say I didn’t warn you from my first Robrief above on this damning news about a member of the Mexican Army who committed home invasion and homicide in an Arizona home.

“Even if you put aside the Mexican military, you have illegals in the country…they’re protected with tactical gear using tactical strategies in police uniforms willing to ambush police officers.  I think that’s bad enough,” said Mark Spencer, President of the Phoenix Police Enforcement Association.

Pretty much reinforced my warning in the first Robrief, eh? You’ll be seeing more of this kind of trend in the coming months.

Robrief no. 3: 11 Days and counting… to the doomsday!
The countdown to the activiation of the Large Hadron Collider can be seen here. July 6th might be the last day on Earth or not. Curiously, a quatrain from Nostradamus just came up, it’s rather intriguing and disturbing:

Nostradamus C9 Q44

Migrés, migrés de Geneue trestous.
Saturne d’or en fer se changera,
Le contre RAYPOZ exterminera tous,
Auant l’aduent le ciel signes fera.

Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,
Saturn will be converted from gold to iron,
“Raypoz” will exterminate all who oppose him,
Before the coming the sky will show signs.

Hmm….

Robrief no. 4: Anheuser-Busch reject InBev bid, good move!
I’ll drink Budweiser from now on. It may have German-Czech-Austrian origins, but it is still America’s Beer, damn it! I think the taste and quality of Budweiser have been improving of late. Remember, drink responsibly and don’t drive under its influence, no matter how many cans, bottles or cups you’d drank from under the table.

Robrief no. 1: The Obama Lefts: the Wimp, the Weird and the Hard
I love this American Thinker article: the Obama Left by J. R. Dunn. It’s brilliant and pretty much nail-to-the-wall truth. It doesn’t surprise me about the real goals and beliefs of the Left, having been exposed to them during my college days at Gallaudet University. Some of the professors I know, and having been taught by them, exhibited these very liberal ideologies, with a lesser degree of the center-left position. However, they were good, compassionate and pragmatic educators, they tolerated American conservatism to a point but at times, I disagreed with them in various political discussions. I’ve encountered with the wimpy Left, the weird Left and the hard Left over the years. Whether in real-life or online discussions, I rolled up my eyes and felt pitied at the wimpy Left, stay sheer clear of the wacky/weird Left (too hardcore with their deranged nonsenses), and debated with the hard Left, demolished their arguments but they have earned my grudging respect for their intellectual and social outlooks.

Between the wimpy left, the weird left and the hard left, I take my chance with the wimpy left as these poor souls may need a proper, thoughtful guidance to the right path.

Read it all.

Robrief no. 2: Photos from Above: breathtaking photos taken from Space Shuttle missions
My God, these photos. Simply profound and awesome. Especially the impressive scene with the anvil clouds. 

Robrief no. 3: Free Food Fight…a sign of things to come?
Officials in the city of Milwaukee should have been more careful in communicating clearly to the public with the offering of food vouchers to those affected by the power outages and flooding crisis in the midwest, not free food vouchers for everyone in Milwaukee, as how the rumors got spread around like wildfire. 

What’s disturbing to me is this incident would be a sign of things to come in the coming months, given the recent Midwest flood crisis affecting the farming industry and food-growers, which we will see higher prices in foods and beverages in the near future. The United States, for sure, will have an encounter of general scarcity in foods, fuels, and essential materials by 2009, maybe early. I can only hope that it won’t get out of control at some points, but we may never know and we may be forced to take necessary measures to protect ourselves.

George Ure has a running coverage about the encounter with scarcity for months on his website, it’s worth checking into it daily just to stay informed.

Robrief no. 4: Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less
We have approximately 2 to 3 trillions barrels worth of oil in the proven and unproven fields in the United States, whether by the coast or under the land. The largest ones can be founded in the ANWR in Alaska, the Colorado oil-shale field and the Bakken field. But the Democratic-controlled Congress wanted America to suffer the high prices of gas and refuse any further drilling to alleviate the matters but there’s a petition going, so we can send a clear message to Congress that we need to push ahead to drill for oil on our own turfs and on our own terms. Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less.

Robrief no. 1: Smackdown talking between Israel and Iran
Imagine you’re watching a WWE Smackdown show: Israel vs. Iran in a tough-talking verbal match. The audience is booing and cheering simultaneously and who’ll be coming out of the flashy introduction stage to upstage both of them?

Robrief no. 2: EU Commissioner slams China on blocking Internet
Good going, Viviane Reding, the European Commissioner for Information Society and Media! China is ridiculously illogical with its very restrictive and dictatorial control of Internet access between China and the world. The Chinese people deserve to participate and know about the world beyond China without government policy say-so.

There should be a US Internet commissioner to tell corporations to stop blocking general Internet access for American workers, customers and citizens as it is counterproductive and illogical. Come on, Facebook is blocked? Internet message boards are blocked? Dumb. However, there should be no access to porn, gambling, online gaming or video-based services since they are bandwidth-hogs and could slowdown the networks. Then, there’s the argument that the companies lose money when workers surf the Internet too much, but the evidence says otherwise: workers are actually more productive and happy with general Internet usage while working than those who aren’t productive. Another good example here.

The rational way for workers is to keep in mind that they are hired to do works for the companies, then make leeway times to stretch out sporadic Internet usage at work throughout the day rather than to surf the Internet in one sitting for too long. The idea, as in my own experience, is to help cut down the amount of time to surf the Internet at home after work and free up time to do other things at home or elsewhere beside Internet-surfing. By letting workers surf the Internet at work, it would reduce the time they have to surf the Net at home and do other things beside it.

On the other hand, CISCO stated big growth of the Internet is ahead and superfast Internet connection will enter the markets in the next 5-10 years.

Give it up, China and corporations. Resistance is futile.

Robrief no. 3: Sweden is the new China
Sweden is no longer a free (socialist) country, thanks to a new law passage for wiretapping on emails and telephones. Many Swedes are upset.

Robrief no. 4: Ice Cream on Mars!
If there’s ice on Mars, there should be ice cream on Mars! There ought to be oil way down there, let’s go offworld drilling there.

Robrief no. 1: Pick Your Veep Choices for McCain and Obama, Win Big Prizes
You could win an Amazon Kindle or Asus EEE PC mini-notebook by selecting a Republican Veep for McCain and a Democratic Veep for Obama. If you pick the correct choices for both parties, you could win the mini-notebook, the runner-up will get the Kindle and the 25 others will get some nice prizes from Pajamas Media. Have fun with it.

Robrief no. 2: Environuts’ true nature, see the sticker below

Thanks to Dutch Concerns. How nice of those radical environuts revealing their true intention which is to destroy capitalism under false political intents, propaganda and fake hysteria. I guess you don’t have a problem with Al Gore and his excessively high energy usage from his supposedly “renovated” and “improvised” energy-efficient home in Tennessee, according to Tennessee Center for Policy Research (nice job!). Can you spell “hypocrisy” and “fake hysteria”, boys and girls? Gooood!

Robrief no. 3: Bush, McCain Urge Offshore Drilling for Oil, Congress’ Democrats Say NO!
It is now a strong, apparent evidence that the Democrats would rather do nothing to help Americans, including low-income people already badly pinched by high gas and food costs, than to allow any offshore drilling of oil off the American coasts. The Democrats would rather stick with the 27 years old ban than to make America more energy-independent from foreign oil. Go here if you dare to face the truth! Or another inconvenient truth about Democrats voting no to American oil.

UPDATE: How is that going to help America?! House Democrats plan nationalization of American oil refineries! That is not the right solution and approach to address our high-cost energy problems. Sheesh.

Robrief no. 4: An eye-opener from the 17th century book about Israel
Quite an eye-opener. A Christian geographer named Reland traveled to the land of Israel in 1695 – 1696 AD and scouted out the areas by naming and chronicling them in a book about biblical Israel:

…No settlement in the land of Israel has a name of Arabic extraction. The names of settlements are mostly of Hebrew extraction; some of Greek or Latin-Roman. In fact, no Arab settlement (except for Ramla) has had an original Arabic name to this day. Most names of Arab settlements are of Hebrew or Greek extraction which have been impaired and replaced by meaningless names in Arabic. There is no meaning in Arabic for the names Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Nablus, Gaza or Jenin and the names of cities, such as Ramallah, El-Halil and El-Kuds have no historical or philological roots in Arabic. In the year 1696, the year in which the tour was taken, Ramallah, for example, was called Beit El, Hebron was called Hebron and Mearat HaMachpelah was called El Chalil (a name for Abraham of the Bible).


The land was, on the whole, empty and desolate; the inhabitants were few and concentrated in the cities of Jeusalem, Acre, Safed, Jaffa, Tiberius and Gaza. Most of the inhabitants of the cities were Jews, the others were Christian; there were very few Moslems, mostly nomadic Bedouins. Nablus (Schem) was different, with a population of about 120 people from the Moslem Natsha family and about 70 Shomronites. In Nazareth, the capital of the Galilee, there were approximately 700 people – all Christians…

This would dismiss the Muslim Palestinians’ historical claim to the land of Palestine when there is actually none. Read it all here!

Leaving DeafRead? Nope!

Someone named Jason “Mr. Anonymous” Miller left me a seething comment in one of my blogs:

You are a real traitor to the American deaf community for leaving the DeafRead.com without letting us, regular DR readers.

O-kaee. That made me puzzled. I have never left DeafRead.com nor I put in any such request to DR editors to remove my blog from DeafRead.com. The thing is, Mr. Anonymous, that you have to look into the Extra box (the one with the star) to check out the latest from me and other bloggers/vloggers you may fancy. DR editors set up that way – one that is specifically related to Deaf/ASL issues, the other for vlogs, and the third is general blogging/vlogging (about anything) that’s not related to Deaf/ASL issues.

My blog is about anything that I like to share or opine with y’all and not necessarily have to be deaf-related all the times. I have deaf people coming up to me telling me that they’re really enjoyed reading my blogs and wanted to stay informed or be provoked (intellectual-wise) about other issues not necessarily related to Deaf/ASL issues. Quite frankly, I would like my blog to reach out to the widest, possible audience through DeafRead.com, DeafVillage.com, CI/CS sites, hearing or aggregation sites and whatever. My blog isn’t audience-specific, gender-specific, Deaf-specific, ASL-specific and just because I’m a deaf blogger doesn’t mean that I must blog for the D/deaf/ASL community all the times. I blog because I like to share with or opine about something or someone for anyone who care to read a different perspective or an interesting subject from me, warts and all.

So, Jason, next time, look before you jump to conclusion.

Robrief no. 1: Prince William the 1000th Knight of the Garter
I’ve been waiting for this one for five years, ever since a very juicy tidbit revealed from one of Dan Brown’s books that made me look at Prince William of Wales in a very interesting new light. Today, according to the Telegraph.co.uk article, Prince William Windsor have become the 1000th Knight of the Order of the Garter, a very prestigious English order of chivalry, which dated back to the time of King Edward III who made his son, Prince Edward of Woodstock the first Knight of the Order. The today’s ceremony is highly symbolic, if not entirely esoteric, though I understood the real reasons for this ceremony involving the future King of England. Read Dan Brown’s books and follow the clues beyond his books if you can.

Robrief no. 2: Ban AP due to AP’s stupid policy
Washington Post’s TechCrunch made the right move: banning AP stories from appearing in the Washington Post online site, according to article by Michael Arrington. Many bloggers and journalists out on the Internet regularly linked to AP stories or used excerpts from them to highlight the issues, legally entitled under Fair Use clause, as long as owner of copyrighted material is acknowledged and the issue non-profitable. But AP don’t believe in Fair Use, arguing that bloggers have no right to AP stories or their links/excerpts and could goes after those who do by taking them to courts. The approach is pretty much a self-defeating one: by not encouraging the spread of AP stories throughout the Internet via bloggers and online journalists and by eliminating the “digital footprints” back to the original AP stories (for example: someone ask you where did you get that story, you say from an AP article and provide the link to that AP article to back up your claim). AP need to ditch its stupid policy and just accept that its business model depends on spreading awareness of AP stories.

Robrief no. 3: Stan Winston Dead at 62 UPDATE (6.17.08)!
Aw, man, this is tough to deal with. Stan Winston became a legend in Hollywood by the time he helped James Cameron with dazzling and incredible special effects in the movie, “Terminator” in 1984 and propelled the special effects industry to new heights in moviemaking. Rest in peace, Stan Winston.

Update: Read up the email message from James Cameron, the famed filmmaker, about his long-time friend and collaborator, to Harry Knowles, the webmaster of Ain’tItCool website. Jon Favreau, the director of IronMan, which Stan actually contributed to its success, followed up, so did Frank Darabont and Joe Dante. Stan was the man and the legend in Hollywood and beyond. His F/X talents and keen eyes for details in every step of a film’s special effect productions can certainly guarantee the success of that film. Stan’s last contribution was overseeing the F/X production of the upcoming Terminator 4: Salvation film (the Terminator series was Stan’s favorite).

US Army 233 Years Old Today

On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress ordered the creation of an unified standing army composing of state militias and rifleman companies to fight the British Army in the American colonies. The American Continental Army was formed on this day, 233 years ago. The next day, Congress unanimously picked General George Washington to be its first Commander-in-Chief and General. Through much difficulties, losses, defeats, a near-mutiny or two and the deadly smallpox epidemic, the American Continental Army prevailed in the six years of fighting against the more formidable British Army in the colonies. After the Revolutionary War ended in 1781 and the Treaty of Paris was signed, the Continental Army was disbanded and the states militias were entrusted to defend the states, not the nation. However, conflict with hostile Indian tribes and the threat of Great Britain’s returning to take back the colonies (which led to the War of 1812-1814), Congress and the states recognized the need of a trained standing army to defend the nation, gradually evolving into the United States Army today.

Happy 233rd Birthday to the U.S. Army.

Robrief no. 1: Cedar Rapids Flood of 2008
It really sucks and awful what is happening at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and all over places with all that flooding. I drove through the city in 1996 on my way to Minneapolis (didn’t have much time to look around). Iowa has a great countryside with many farms, rivers and creeks when I drove through the state at the time. My condolences and sympathies to the fine folks of Cedar Rapids. Hang in there, people, every cloud has a silver lining out of this. 

Robrief no. 2: Cheers to Ireland!
The people of Ireland voted NO to the Lisbon Treaty of the EU in a nationwide referendum. They voted NO to unchecked, vast and dissociative European bureaucracy. They voted NO to sole, unchecked governance of European countries from Brussels. They voted NO to rules and policies dictated from afar with no accountability and transparency involved. The Irish have a good reason to reject the treaty:

“Europe as an idea does not provoke passionate support among ordinary citizens,” said Denis MacShane, a Labour member of the British Parliament and a former minister for Europe.

“They see a bossy Brussels, and when they have the chance of a referendum in France, the Netherlands or Ireland to give their government and Europe a kick, they put the boot in,” he added in an interview, referring to the French and Dutch rejections of a proposed European constitution in similar referendums three years ago.

There’s another reason peoples in European countries rejecting the EU treaties: they are fearful of seeing their own countries disappearing into a single mass of political, social and religious bodies, which seems to be covertly designed for the foreign and Muslim immigrants coming in increasing waves for the next 20-30 years, which could slowly erase every fabric of centuries-old European traditions and cultures. By 2050, if it turns out, the 1500 years of living European history would be vanished for good. The EU isn’t made for the Europeans but for those who have no strong cultural and national identity/association to the European countries.

Robrief no. 3: Obama- & McCain-themed condoms?
Really 100% lame and dumb. Now, where did I put my John Holmes condoms at? It’s been years since I’d seen it.

Robrief no. 4: Are we living in the last century of civilization?
ABC News asked scientists this question. They say yes. My answer is NO. Why? We have much works to do to improve ourselves before we improve Earth by the 31st century or the 55th century. Humanity is a great progress in itself. Earth can take care of itself, with or without us. All we have to do is to adapt, improvise and innovate ourselves along with Earth’s cyclic natures, rather than trying to do something stupid, deranged and nonsensical to save Earth from ourselves. 

Let’s be honest and helpful with ourselves, not resort to intellectually dishonest and nihilistic thinking.
