I'm Moved
The prophetess Sheryl Crow, a superior talent with a song and a single square of toilet paper, has graced us again with her sagacity at the Huffington Post.
With original insights such as, "The planet will live on in whatever state it is in," and sincere concern that, "It is my truest fear that we are losing our way," she tugs at our ecological heartstrings.
I too fear for our lonely planet in this third millennium of our Lord and Savior Karl Rove, because we haven't figured out a way off of it. I don't know if Sheryl has a mouse in her pocket but I am concerned about what she says of her cohort:
We have risen to great heights of arrogance in our refusal to acknowledge that the earth is changing.
During my stay in Los Angeles, the town Sheryl calls home, the earth changed on a semi-regular basis, rearranging freeways and buildings willy-nilly in an unpredictable fashion. Whoever our seer is referring to I advise them to listen up: there is no debating that the earth is changing.
But what I don't understand is why she doesn't take some time out of her busy day to peruse the ancient wisdom that can readily be found in the Bible, for great insights are to be had simply in the story of the Tower of Babel.
Taking lessons from there she might have been able to see into her future and foresee Lord Karl striking down 'she that lusted to the heights of the heavens,' instead of reaching out from a rented invite to touch the holy one whilst he was ingesting his supper.
It also reveals the obvious answer to that confusion she feels when she opines,
"It appears to me that many on the right want to see this as a liberal issue, as demonstrated in the continued debate, rather than accepting the peer-reviewed science that is so clearly laid out for us earthlings."
Since then the Rovester has decreed her punishment as to be speaking a different language from the more enlightened among us, just like those tower builders. Go figure.
But I say unto thee and she, there is yet hope. We should all just stop the debate and believe. The facts are: the earth is changing, and we need to find a way off of this rock.
