Open Your Eyes People
People, people, people! Dear average ordinary citizens of this world. Open your eyes and look around, can't you see that we are destroying the planet under our feet and thus ultimately all life who live on it.I used to have one black spot that clouded my mind and ability to think clearly. It was about what existed at the end of our galaxy. Sort of what comes next, is there another galaxy and if so what is after that one? Now I have two blind spots, this new one being: how can life on earth continue to exist when all we do is destroy and pollute? With the supersonic development occurring in China, the rapid growth of India and with many eastern bloc countries rapid emergence the earth's resources are being stretched like an elastic band fastened to a runaway train. Humanity has always eaten delicately at what is around and abundant; oil, coal, minerals and trees endlessly bear the brunt of mans insatiable demand, but the process has been slow and more akin to granddad mouse at 200lb cheddar! Now though our attack against earths yield is like a shark's dinner, not much of it and easily put away.
We are so busy exploring deeper, mining faster and deforesting quicker than ever before that nobody seems to realize that this cannot continue indefinitely without reaction or end.Maybe when the driller on his platform gets a phone call from the other side of the world to say that his drill bit has punched through, maybe when some French coal miners are abruptly faced with some dusty and disheveled and very confused Australians with black faces will the coin click home and maybe when the Canadian forestry industry grinds to a halt because there just isn't one single tree left to cut then humans will realize that they have gone too far! But then that would be far too late now wouldn't it?We are committing suicide and killing our children. If we don't die from choked up lungs, cancer or lack of food then it will be through war as nations fight to keep the last weeping willow, the last puddle of oil or the last embers of an already dead fire for themselves. Who will eat that last biscuit on the plate?.

THE FAT TYPES AND THEIR EFFECTS
High consumption of fat or of the combination fat and carbohydrates causes obesity, heart disease and other health problems. However the different types of fat have very different effects on the health. Here is a survey of the different fat categories and their effects:
Mono-unsaturated fat - This type of fat prevents heart disease and circulatory disease in moderate amounts.
Omega-6-poly-unsaturated fat - This fat type prevents heart disease if you do not consume too much of it. However it causes inflammatory reactions. This type of reactions are benign when they are moderate and when they are provoked to fight disease.
But a constant high inflammatory response is dangerous, and can cause rheumatism, heart trouble and cancer. A very high consumption of this type of fat is therefore dangerous.
Omega-3-poly-unsaturated fat - This type of fat prevents heart disease and reduces inflammatory...

Discount Broadway Tickets
Often due to the huge popularity of Broadway shows, ticket prices of plays, concerts and other performances remain high at all times. Not all can pay such high prices for tickets. Hence, some discount Broadway tickets exist so that we can see some great performances at reduced prices.
Discount Broadway tickets can be attained through a number of channels: discount codes on tickets; rush or lottery tickets; standing room only; and student, military, and senior discounts are some types of discount tickets which are available for different types of Broadway shows.

An Introduction To Gas Prices
For the average person, gas prices have been a roller coaster ride. Over the years the price of gas has fluctuated so widely that consumers cannot count on the price to remain stable. The thirst for gas in the US can be gauged from the fact that the annual driving distance of 2.5 trillion miles per year for the US roughly equals to about 14,000 round trips to the sun. A whopping distance!
There are several other reasons for increase in prices of gas. Some parts of the US restrict the use of gasoline in order to meet stringent environmental standards since smog, generated by burning gasoline, accounts for maximum pollution.
Producing a cleaner variety of gasoline is challenging and entails problems in refining, distribution and storage making it costlier. This translates to a high demand for gas.
Gas prices fluctuate rapidly. They vary remarkably from one country to another, and even within one country. A March 2005 estimate put Amsterdam in the Netherlands,...
