For the record, I have nothing against people who are conservative in their politics, nor do I have anything against people who go the Catholicism route. The people are fine. It's the Catholic Church and the Conservative politicians I have issues with. I also have issues with screaming liberals who beat their children and don't do what they can to save/preserve the planet. The Catholic Church was responsible for offing many a forward thinker back in the day, and I wasn't kidding about the Pope admitting, hundreds of years later and DECADES after humans made it to space, that the Catholic Church wasn't letting Galileo out of Hell for trying to tell people that the Earth goes around the Sun, but they were admitting that his math may have been correct so they were going to officially let him out of purgatory. I don't care which group did that to Galileo, it's so stupid and backwards I can't breathe right now. Do you not see that offing someone for thinking bigger and speaking the truth is like me getting the electric chair for walking up to the new Pope and saying that I'm pretty sure gravity is what makes us all not fly off this spinning planet of ours. As far as the conservative political types go, I'm hoping you were paying attention when George W. Bush repeatedly denied claims that the planet was headed for certain screwed-ness. He not only said the environmentalists and the research scientists were lying and wrong and full of crap, he also did nothing to begin to fix the problem. Also, it could have been anyone. It wasn't his voters, so I have no problem with conservative-minded humans in general. But I have a huge f-ing problem with world leaders who are that f-ing stupid. Sorry. --Alexa @Vicky–I apologize for taking so long to reply to your comment.

Just reading the text on the first page turned my stomach and I found it totally offensive that one of the first things I read was a slam toward MY Catholic church. Your very liberal spouting off will do no good in the long run. I am a very level headed person and can be conservative in some of my ideas, but I know that as a christian I am placed here to take care of what God gave us and that includes the environment. So, maybe you want to rethink your idea that anyone who is not a flaming liberal is bad. I was interested in your sustainable degree until I visited your web site.

Now, according to Mr.Bradford at Geek Stew, they’re doing great (and not at all scary) things with toilets in the new Santan Hall building at ASU Polytechnic. I’m enjoying vicarious feelings of deep, settling calm just knowing there are safe and shiny toilets out there.

I am a 22 year veteran of business, and at 50 have sold my business and decided to return to school for a degree. I have enrolled at a university in my state (ME), and in fact my entrance essay was titled 'Sustainability in Business and Corporate Social Responsibility'. I have done much reading on the subject, and would love to pursue a degree, but it isn't offered as such in my area. Do you have any ideas for me? Peter This is the degree I’ve been looking for.
