How I saved a stamp
Having gotten my new MBR1000 router and USB760 modem up and running I immediately trashed the boxes and shipping stuff. When I finally got 'round to filling out Verizon's rebate form for the USB760 modem this morning I find the original bar code label off the box must be included to qualify for the $50.00 rebate. Right.

We Are Clearly a Species Worth Saving
Our world is entering a time of profound and perhaps catastrophic change. My hope is that by getting people to care about and learn about what is in their backyard, they can be made to realize that while it seems like we are destroying the planet in out greed and excess, what we are really destroying is ourselves. The planet and life in general has dealt with catastrophe many times before. Cataclysm on Earth is a creative time and evolution can handle it. Culture is much more fragile and we as individuals are more fragile still. I think that it is time for people to come to terms with the fact that our own behaviors put humanity at risk. While people have always done atrocious things, I believe that we are a species capable of beautiful, amazing and important things as well and we are clearly a species worth saving.
