Now Here Is A True Call To ACTion! :)
IT'S *ACT_ÜBER* TIME!
***This month!***
(and every other month!)
***This month!***
(and every other month!)
Major League Baseball has something
they cleverly called "actober"...
Red Sox Nation, more specifically,
calls for "Soxtober" this month...!
And who can blame them -
with the wondrous things that
the Boston Red Sox do...!
Me, I will be daringly different on this day
and offer thee the chance to, indeed -
"ACT_ÜBER"!
;)
For it is estimated that there is about
10 years left
to "do something"
about the sad state of this planet -
yes, only ten short years are left now...
What's in a decade, right?
Well - here's what could be in it:
10. WE STOP WASTING FOOD -
never throw away leftovers again
***in your lifetime***
instead, give it to stray dogs,
stray cats, heck, the occasional
genuine wildlife animal we may
encounter, when driving on
less traveled roads...
Any extra bread you have,
dangerously close to
its expiry date,
soak it up a bit in tap water
and deposit it outside -
birds and squirrels
will appreciate...
(Adding seeds & peanuts
to this makeshift mix
is good too!)
That's what us individuals can do:
for chain supermarkets
and restaurants out there -
here's an idea:
***feed the homeless***
and the needy, wherever they are.
Dispatch somebody
for delivery of all those
extra plates of the day
that "cannot be sold anymore"
***for free***
and do it all
IN SECRET
- so business is not hurt
in the least way...
9. WE STOP POLLUTING -
whether it is with
toxic emissions
CO2, other wastes.
CFCs, noise,
or even with light...!
We cannot do this overnight
"cold turkey"
but we CAN DO IT
so do as Nike says
and JUST DO IT!
8. WE BEGIN CARING
and never more do we
simply "turn a blind eye"
to another's plight...
7. WE BEGIN DARING
to be the catalyst
for the desired changes...
6. WE STOP LAYING THE BLAME
on others - and start sharing it
because we are all part of the problem
And so we must all be part of the solution too
5. WE BEGIN TREATING
THE ENVIRONMENT
as if it was our own home
And I am sure that no one
appreciates living in
a contaminated pigsty!
4. WE STOP NITPICKING
about borders and jurisdictions
and we ACT in the best interest
of the people, of the land,
of the world
3. WE BEGIN, therefore,
THINKING GLOBALLY
and no longer see nor focus
solely on the differences
but rather gaze upon the
many similitudes
FOR THE GREATER GOOD
and for God Told us to
2. WE STOP EVIL IN ITS TRACKS
by striving to do good always
even if it curbs our own
natural tendencies....!
Can you do that, folks?
Can WE...?
Because if we can,
that will be when...
1. WE BEGIN A NEW AGE
one where bliss is the goal.
Bliss - not profit
If they do all that, my friends
(and my foes too!)
we will truly be ACTING ÜBER
and not merely acting haughty
and vainglorious!

AN UBER SMILE, TOO!
Don't pollute.
Don't be wasteful.
Don't abuse nature.
Don't be a leech.
Don't be a parasite.
Don't be wasteful.
Don't abuse nature.
Don't be a leech.
Don't be a parasite.
BE LUMINOUSLY PRODUCTIVE!
not the opposite!

As far as the feeding the birds with nearly-perempted bread suggestion goes...
Well... I know bread is not good for them (which is why I suggested to add seeds to the makeshift mix there!) nor is it good for the squirrels either (hence - the suggestion to add nuts too!) HOWEVER - given a choice between starving to death or dying with one's stomach full - even if bloated really - which would any birdie prefer... HMM?
Heck - which would YOU prefer!

And as far as the CFCs and CO2 go...
We have had our warnings - we KNOW the ozone layer is being depleted on a DAILY BASIS...
The sun is not our enemy - we are the ones making it so by destroying bit by bit the natural built-in earthly defense that we had against its rays...!
The sun was created to help in a major way in spurring life on our planet - it is WE who are making it deadly instead...!
No more messing around already:
We cut CFCs off completely
We quit using the damn cars so much - ride a bike or just WALK, dammit!
Walking is the BEST EXERCISE you can do...
We stop emitting so much waste into the ATMOSPHERE...
Damn it all - with all the CO2 and CH4 (methane) NONE of us can ever claim not to be suicidal anymore here, on this wretched planet...!
What's the matter, people -
you value making big bucks and being driven around so much more than just being able to BREATHE...?!?
Time to re-evaluate thy priorities, I say!
;)
Find another way to make your mark on here, while you're here - don't leave mother earth regretting ever having hosted you for a short while... Because a lifetime is but a short while indeed; no sense doing harm, in any way whatsoever, when you look at things in that perspective - the right perspective...
Don't pollute.
Don't be wasteful.
Don't abuse nature.
Don't be a leech.
Don't be a parasite.
May the rest of your days on this earth - which was given to us by God Almighty, to thrive on it in respectful awe of His Creation as of Him - be therefore like they were meant to be;
luminously productive!
And constructive
never destructive
