About Google BLOGGER... facts unknown to me.




I've been using this Google-supported BLOG site application "BLOGGER" for almost ten years. Never realized that to successfully record reader comments, contributors need to establish a Google account, an active gmail account for example (yourname@gmail). Furthermore, to successfully add comments to any BLOGGER post, a contributor needs to be logged in to an active personal Google account like gmail, etc. These conditions are apparently true for all Google supported Blogger application accounts. This fact is probably cited in the Google User Licence Agreement (ULA)... but like many of us... very few folks like me actually read and fully understand expressions in most legal language ULAs.

P.S. Comment contributors not wanting to establish a Google account are encouraged to send me an email to the available address displayed in the BLOG page upper left section under my Facebook Badge information.  Your anonymous and unedited comments (constructive or otherwise) will be added to the appropriate "Ancient Geek Fumes" BLOG post.  Thanks.  DJ of German Flatts

Understanding The Root Problem





Many undesirable life events seem destined to repeat themselves, and a significant percent of educated "whiz kids" in charge today seem to think there is a growing new problem.  Watching TV's "Nature" program on PBS a few hours ago... some guy whining about the decline in Arctic Fox population... this because Red Fox species is moving north and overpopulating the Arctic and eating the same food previously exclusive to Arctic Fox (all mainly due -- of course -- to Global Warming).  The unstated root problem, again -- and of course -- is animal (or plant) overpopulation, whether the subject is too many rats, rabbits, humans, or crabgrass!  Climate change (aka Global Warming), or at least that portion directly attributable to human activity, is a symptom. It isn't the problem.  When will a significant percentage of changemaker climate scientists wake-up and report overpopulation as the true root problem?  In history, all life without significant life threats will eventually screw themselves and reproduce to a very unpleasant overpopulation death or an unthinkable environment to support future life. 

While their timeline for overpopulation impacts was off a bit, Dr. Paul and Mrs. Anne Ehrlich called it correctly in their scholarly written works The Population Bomb, The Population Explosion, et al.  It is well past time for the "Chicken Little" global warming scientist crowd to understand the negative impact of overpopulation by taking on new comprehension of these Ehrlich writings.  For goodness sake, attacking the symptoms will never fix the underlining root problem. Otherwise put, animals in smaller numbers doing activities that are potentially dangerous to their environment will logically produce a smaller impact on that environment.  A fresh look to resolve the fundamental unlining root problem is absolutely necessary.
