Every year, humans slaughter about 60,000,000,000 lives for consumption.
That is almost 10 times our total population. We are living-things’ worst nightmare. We need to rethink our relationship with the natural world because organisms that act like us don’t survive very long. They are mostly end up being called “plagues”. They pass for a short time with their devastation.

400,000 born a day
160,000 die a day

4 out of 5 almonds in the world come from California …. A $10Billion industry. A branch of that industry is bees. 10 billion bees are imported to the farms every year to help pollinate them. Many die because of pesticides used on the trees. To us it is economy. To the bees, it is the holocaust.

Detroit Public Schools compared to Detroit Charter Schools:
– teachers had double the pay on average
– classrooms had less students (avg 22)
– received $13,743 per student compared to the avg $7131 for charter schools.
Why did it fail compared to Charter Schools?!

Warrendale area in Detroit should win the ugliest place in America. It must be an inspiration for a new mayor of this area to see how to turn it around.
Thought of the Day
This rock is a history book of 350 Million years of history. Each inch narrates a history of about 10,000 years. Every page of this book, with all the plant and animal fossils within it, matches the model of evolution. Not one contradiction. Not one exception. Never has been a theory more proven in science, to the extent that it is now the basis of all modern understanding of science.
Unfortunately, as an engineer, I didn’t get to understand it till I was in my late 20’s.
If you don’t understand the theory of evolution, take few months of reading on it, for it is the ABC’s of the education of a modern man. Without understanding it, you are choosing to be scientifically illiterate. HIGHSCHOOL and COLLEGE won’t teach it. It is a personal effort.
