Legacy Journal: Thursday Thoughts: Twitter, Triathlons for Horses, and Obama One on Tour

Section:
Commentary

Summary:
“Winning may not be everything, but losing has little to recommend itself” D. Cal. Senator, Dianne Feinstein.

* Twitter seems to be a kind of miniblog for quick social networking for device packing mobile professionals who expect instant access to ....?

Eventing at venues like the recent Stewart Equestrian Trials in western upstate New York, on the other hand, is basic athletic competition. Dressage, Cross Country, and Stadium Jumping are the three classic events spread over three days. That level of horse and rider interaction is the real deal. Animated mustang cartoon fantasy fiction like Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron out of Dream Works by Hollywood, is at best misleading, at worst, childish. The stock characterization of pure wild mustangs, pristine noble natives, and profoundly evil wranglers, cavalrymen and railroad builders is standard drivel.

* Stock characterization and standardized drivel has been the story of the early U.S. national campaign to date. The pace will quicken after the party conventions.

Main:
The Obama camp may use Twitter, but do not expect to see the campaign abandon the jet, O one , for time on horse back any time soon. Meanwhile, the candidate is taking a quickie course in geopolitics , international security, and global trade. Attempts to correct and clarify misstatements ( “poor choice of words) on Jerusalem, the recent success of the U.S. military in Iraq, and an over simplification of American interests in the Middle East are not reassuring to those who have long worked these and other issues.

Legacy Journal: The Path from Oslo, Norway to Bali

Section:
Climate Change

Summary:
Al Gore has arrived in Oslo to accept his Nobel Peace Prize Monday on behalf of himself and the 3,000 CO-recipients on the various IPCC working groups . He will be then fly to Bali to join them and an estimated 7,000 others. Among the others is Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. She but one example of a Washington, D.C. based execucrat who has been on a long career government, NGO, NPO career path. We note that the weather forecasts for Oslo and Rochester, NY are similar: Light snow, Low of 25, High of 32.

Main:
The Gore flight to Bali will be over oceans, rain forests and land masses. All are massive sources of carbon sequestration. They, and their massive biota, are the major “sinks” in the earth’s dynamic carbon cycle. On example is a single Antarctic krill species . The world’s ocean waters also store massive amounts of carbon dioxide in a variety of forms. The rain forests of Sumatra, Indonesia are a third example of active carbon sequestration by trees using the time honored and trusted method of low tech photosynthesis.

Questions:

* Who is going to pay the pending carbon sequestration bills submitted to developed nations in the Northern Hemisphere by Indonesia, Brazil, Zaire, and others?

* Who has the carbon sequestration rights to the Antarctic Seas and the Southern Ocean?

* What is the latest count on the world’s total krill, ant, beetle and termite biomass?

Answer:

Dah. The truth is we do now know. Nor do the execucrats and experts working out of Washington, D.C., New York City, Princeton, and Palo Alto.

So, where are Nancy Pelosi (http://www.speaker.gov) and Barbara Boxer (” the debate on global green house gas is over” ) this week when we really need them for quikie, if not quirkie, answers to pressing problems ?
