Just because we’re in a double dip recession (translation: The Depression of 2009 never ended) doesn’t mean we can’t save the planet from EVIL COAL!

As thousands of people streamed into the city of Sukkur yesterday from areas that have either already been flooded or are under threat, sharecropping farmers expressed profound fear for their futures. Ghulam Haider, who walked with about 100 people from Ghospur village, about 70km away, is now living with them on the side of a road.
“Our future is gone,” Mr Haider, a rice farmer, said. “All the rice we had from last year is gone and this crop is also gone. We have no food.”
Meraj Mahar lives in Sukkur but his family arrived here on Saturday from Shikarpur village. He said he will give rice plant seeds to his cousins from the flooded areas to take back with them to plant next month.
“The yield won’t be much, just for eating for a few months only,” he said. “After that only Allah knows.”
When the World Trade Center was hit, the second time, by terrorists and the world was in chaos over how many attacks there would be by the end of the day. I recall fishing through the various Cable News Networks. If Fox News stopped covering the WTC attack, I would switch to CNN, MSNBC I even watched Headline News! I fanned across internet sites; now not just the news mega giants but anyone else who saw this coming, Jihad Watch, Atlas Shrugs, MEMRI, various Christian sites: Olive Tree Views, Worldview w/Brannon Howse. I was scouring for information. When I started my search I began to realize that there is a lot out there in the way of real information, crazy paranoid information, and fluffy puffy stuff. It was a matter to discern my way through all that, go back to what the Bible already Tells me is going to happen and then make sense of what is going on out there in this crazy world.
