CMP (Canadian Mind Products)’s purpose is to stand up for the rights of plants and animals. Animals also includes cetacea, humans, gay people, atheists, war victims and invertebrates. CMP attempts to inculcate planetary consciousness — concern for the planet as a whole. A subgoal is to teach people to use computers effectively, particularly with the Java computer language.

The image in the top left corner shows pro hockey. I don’t think the government should subsidise professional sports, including Olympic sports. Why?

It is an unnecessary wealth transfer from those who cannot afford tickets, or who have no interest in tickets, to those who can afford them.
Hockey, boxing and football turn permanent brain damage into public entertainment. Have we made no progress since the days of the Roman Colosseum?
Football triggers massive drunken riots and looting.
Sports consume vast tax resources for optional entertainment, when many more serious needs go begging.
Spectator sports create couch potatoes. The government should be subsidising participation sports not spectator sports.
Professional sports teach poor ethics (steroid use, deliberate injury) to kids who idolise pro sports heroes.

If people want spectator sports, they should pay for them themselves, not sponge off other taxpayers. Despite how it may feel, spectator sports are not necessities of life.

But my bill, the Drill Now Act, would actually expedite the whole process, let the Interior Department move ahead quicker… it would stop the radical environmental lawyers from delaying for years with frivolous lawsuits the leasing of the property.
~ Jim deMint (born: 1951-09-02 age: 61) Senator from South Carolina and shill for the oil industry.

The last time, 3 million years ago, when CO₂ levels were 400 ppm (what they are now), average temperatures were 8.0°C (14.4°F) higher than today and the seas were 40 metres (43.74 yards) higher than today. We are on target for much higher 450 ppm by 2050. Because the oceans are so huge, like a giant heated swimming pool, they take centuries for them to warm up, so the drastic effects will not be immediately noticeable. On the other hand, if we eventually take corrective action, it will require centuries for that to take effect too.
