You can drink the water

A wall breaks
Toxic pond empties
A lake dies.

You can drink the water
it is within standards.

Death smiles
Knowing that they will 
never learn.

Smile And Odor

Smile and Odor

Grandson reaches out for me.
First time.
7 months old.
New teeth showing through his smile.
Full of joy.
Smiles never ending.
Pulls at my moustache.
Giggles.

A sound from down below.
A squeal, a grin, the odor.
My wife has a smile for me.
“Your turn.”

I’m off to change his messy diaper.
Nothing more important
In the world.

POOP.

 Listening to the Radio

I sit. Listening to the radio.
Good news car sales are up though out the world.
The Third and Second world are catching up to the First.
Human kind moves closer to Extinction.
No knowing. No Understanding.
Ignorance.
An ocean of education
Few of the wise to show for it.
Just ignorance.

Mistaken.

Oh
I get it now
A mass suicide.
Global scale.

No one
Listening
No one
Reading.

Just drinking their coffee.
That smells good.

Take a Breath

Take a breath
A deep breath.
Smile
A moment
gone.

Oh well
Here
comes
another.

By Douglas John Loudon

Gone for a while, But back

Much has happened
but not much to say
smart people see
the world every day
Or they think they SEE
Just Blind
Deaf
not Mute
words, Words, wOrDS.
Talk
more talk.
Blind
Deaf.
The smell of coffee
Black Rat crossing the Kitchen floor
Ah!
I see the next dominant
species

War On Science: Or the hunt for an endangerd SPECIES

Do you Know that there is a war on Science in Canada?
Hard to Believe
I
Know.
But It Is TRUE.
Try to find a Government Scientist.
Look EVERY
where.
There are MANY
They are not an
ENDANGERED
Species?
If lucky you may find one.
BUT your luck may not 
hold.
Once caught
they may not
TALK
They CAN'T talk.
Can't tell us what they KNOW
what they
FOUND
What may HAPPEN.

GOT ONE.
A
SCIENTIST
SHE is going
to TALK.
NO!!!!
Government Communications
WOMAN
Hand held up
Scientist silenced
SCIENTIST walks away
COMMUNICATIONS WOMAN
says "talk to me I know what to say."
She  adds "Lets go for coffee
science is BORING"

Science is dying.
To Live SCIENCE must be PUBLIC
debated, discussed.
NON TAKING GOVERNMENT SCIENTIST
IS NO SCIENTIST AT ALL. DEAD
EXTINCT

From The News

Are you willing to sacrifice the environment for short term jobs.  All mines have a productive life span, and what are you left with after. Anytime a company says that it will follow all government environmental rules you know things will go wrong.  It is simple.  Most government environmental regulations allow more toxic waste into the environment than the environment or people can handle.  Environmental rules are  to make things easier for companies and make governments look like they are doing the right thing.  They are not really there to protect the environment, they seldom do.  Protest and civil action do more to protect the environment.  You have to work so politicians feel that it is in their best interests to listen to the people on environmental matters.

Company defends gold mine project

by The Canadian Press - Story: 88586
Mar 10, 2013 / 11:30 am

A Vancouver mining company says its planned gold mine in Greece that has spurred local opposition isn't a threat to the environment.
Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets Saturday in Greece's second largest city of Thessaloniki to protest the Eldorado Gold Corp. mine set to operate east of the city.
Eldorado vice-president Nancy Woo says activists' concerns that the mine will pollute the environment are wrong.
She says the mine, which is set to begin digging soon, will follow the necessary European Union and Greek environmental rules.
Activists say the mine will put out toxic substances and throttle the local tourism industry.
But others living near the mine site on the Halkidiki peninsula say the project will pump badly needed jobs into the hard-hit Greek economy.
