Nature vs. War
Two items dominating the news lately:
Cyclone Nargis, and the fighting in Iraq.
The Iraq conflict has claimed over 95,000 lives (by some counts) since the fighting began in March 2003.
Not to be outdone, Mother Nature slammed Myanmar (Burma) last Friday, and the body count there is already estimated at 100,000, with tens of thousands more missing, and tens of thousands more expected to die from exposure, malnutrition, dehydration, and cholera.
Everyone talks about the weather, but who's doing anything about it?
Obviously, the weather is a greater danger to human life than humans are. Something should be done. A law passed, a sanction levied, something. As thoughtless and cruel as humans can be, we are simply no match for the devastating power of the planet we call home.

YouTube Videos
It's all a matter of perspective.
To me, making these videos has been an educational diversion, a hobby that gives me a "legitimate" excuse to surf the web and goof around with music, images, and snippets of fact. (Also an exercise in anger-management and restraint, when certain Micro$loth products crash for no particular reason ...)
But in sharing "sneak previews" of my vids as I finish them, I hear that they are "art" - a skillful blending of sight and sound and social commentary that informs, entertains, and appeals to both hemispheres of the brain.
And so I am graduating to the "next level," and have put together my first political video, which will debut on my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/wildaspie) on Sunday.
I'm still not sure if I'll only add one a week as I'd initially planned, or go for two a week (probably Sundays and Wednesdays) since I'm making them with greater ease and speed than I'd anticipated. I guess we'll all see ...
