The apostle Paul was right - these are perilous times. Here are some things that have been on my mind lately.

If the massage therapist's accusations against Al Gore are true, that would mean that for 8 years we had both a sex crazed president and sex crazed vice president running the country. If Al is lucky, she will turn out to be a covert global warming denier.

The BP oil gusher is still gushing, creating an unparralled environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The gusher has me thinking about Revelations chapter 8 and the second destroying angel.

(Revelations 8:9) When the second destroying angel poured out his vial upon the earth, "the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died.”

(Revelations 8:8) When the second angel poured out his vial, "the third part of the sea became [as] blood."

(Revelations 8:8) When “the second angel sounded . . . it [was as though] a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea."

Now people are mad and they want BP to pay, and rightfully so. But if we kill BP and big oil, aren't we just hurting ourselves? Currently we don't have a viable alternative fuel technology to take the place of oil.

I am all for developing cold fusion technologies. Sure in the early 1990s the University of Utah's Pons and Fleischmann were branded scientific village idiots, but they were onto something big - they were onto a great idea that has the potential to solve most of our energy woes. If a Mr. Cold Fusion was good enough for Doc Emmett Brown, then one would be good enough for my home and automobile.
