Pollution...
ITEM ONE
Well, the top story of the week had to be the release of the UK report claiming that we have used up "two-thirds of the world's resources." Here is the Guardian telling of the story and here the BBC's.
Radioblogger had some great comments. This kind of thing is so short-sighted. We thought we were 10-20 years away from being out of oil 30 years ago. Even more, 200 years ago, petroleum was thought to be a nuisance that seeped from the ground in some ugly places to be avoided. The matter itself hasn't gone anywhere, it's just changed form. Today's nuisance will likely be tomorrow's fuel. I have a lot of faith in mankind.
ITEM TWO
Can you say Nanny State?
ITEM THREE
Finally, I want to point to fellow SoCal Alliance member Cheat Seeking Missles who posts a great send up of an new book claiming Christians want to destroy the earth. There is no need to comment, Laer does a fine job.

ITEM TWO
Can you say Nanny State?
Bill Would Legislate Maryland Students' Use of SunscreenThe thing you have to love about this story is that it is not about forcing students to use sunscreen, it is about removing "zero tolerance" obstacles to it's easy use in schools. You have to love this, nannies with umbrellas at 10 paces...
