Precautionary Principle

The precautionary principle states that if an action or policy has a suspected risk of causing harm to the public or to the environment, in the absence of scientific consensus that the action or policy is harmful, the burden of proof that it is not harmful falls on those taking the action.

No means No

It's true.
No means No.
Except sometimes, No means Yes.
When saying No is actually saying Yes to your life.

santosha

I've liked this guy's op-eds for a long time and not just because he grew up on a farm in Oregon (but maybe partly because of it).

Santosha (सन्तोष) (contentment) is one of the niyamas of Yoga as listed by Patanjali.^[1] Contentment is variously described, but can be thought of as not coveting more than you have and is therefore very different to the way some modern western societies encourage the population to acquire more 'stuff' to achieve contentment. It may be seen as renunciation (of the need to acquire).

"there's always the nuclear option"

locked my keys in the car this morning. walked home and back to get the spare.

today's NPR headline says "there's always the nuclear option" in terms of the massive quantities of oil spewing into the gulf.

I'm trying to drive less. Don't really know what else to do.

albedo

albedo: the reflective cooling effect of white ice that is lost when ice melts (as in an effect of the polar ice cap melt).

i'm not making it up. look it up if you want an mla reference.

Ill With Want

Temporary is my time, ain't nothing on this world that's mine
Except the will I found to carry on
Free is not your right to choose
It's answering what's asked of you
To give the love you find until it's gone

how can you argue with live cello and upright bass? the avett brothers were recently introduced to me. dig.
