    'Earth Hour'

    We as a society noticed the bad effects of alcohol and chose to make it illegal. After a period of time people decided to still purchase alcohol legal or illegal. After further thought everybody decided that making alcohol illegal was a bad idea and we should make it legal to folks over a certain age. As things now stand alcohol is legal, but it can be placed at the roots of many bad accidents and deaths. In my view pot/marijuana followed in this same tradition with the slight exception that pot was made illegal because it was perceived popular with blacks and Mexicans. Thus it was easy to make rules making the substance illegal. In a lot of countries today pot is legal to own, but it's still viewed as a possible medical problem. The countries I'm talking about still spend tax money to help folks eliminate or reduce their use of pot, but they don't throw you in the slammer. We could save a lot of tax dollars by taking the same approach. There are a lot of people in jail in the US merely for having a joint on them. If we spent tax money on educating people about negative consequences we would both help folks and save money. As for other substances I'm not sure. It seems like coca leaves are ok talking to climbers who've been to Peru, but cocaine is much worse. Crank and meth sound all around bad. Taking a drug by injecting it without a doctors supervision is another bad idea.

    'Earth Hour'

    Um Seahawks Greenland was named that way to throw other countries and competitors for new land off to the fact that Greenland was a giant chunk of ice and glacier. They discovered Iceland which was a good place to populate and named it that to throw off competitors. That's been common knowledge for a long time.... to folks with an IQ over 10.

  19. Well I'm not sure of the details; All I know is I have 63 million dollars. If I can only get it a bit at a time I'm still rich. I've also got another email telling me that I've won a few million in English Pounds Sterling . There's no ATM involved with that one. All I have to do is send them some information and the money is mine.
  20. I'll just travel from ATM to ATM.
  21. I've had a few good emails recently. The best one told me that, "You are going to receive an ATM card with 63 MILLION dollars in it." All I have to do is send them my: name, address, and phone #. I'm also rich.
