It will come from the West

" ... Its name [caldera] means ‘cooking pot’ or ‘cauldron’ and it is formed when land collapses following a volcanic explosion. (DANIEL BATES. 25 January 2011. LINK)..."

" ... A full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano would dump a 10 foot deep layer of volcanic ash up to 1,000 miles away, and it would render much of the United States uninhabitable. ( October 3, 2013 by Michael Snyder. LINK)..."

Yellowstone Supervolcano Alert: The Most Dangerous Volcano In America Is Roaring To Life |: "The Yellowstone supervolcano is so vast that it is hard to put it into words.  According to the Daily Mail, the magma “hotspot” underneath Yellowstone is approximately 300 miles wide… The Yellowstone Caldera is one of nature’s most awesome creations and sits atop North America’s largest volcanic field. Its name means ‘cooking pot’ or ‘cauldron’ and it is formed when land collapses following a volcanic explosion. In Yellowstone, some 400 miles beneath the Earth’s surface is a magma ‘hotspot’ which rises to 30 miles underground before spreading out over an area of 300 miles across. (Michael T. Snyder. October 3, 2013. LINK) ..."

SUMMARY
We can't go day to day holding our breath waiting for eruptions like our Yellowstone caldera. But we can take note of other mass disasters, such as Syria has now 2.2 refugees crossing its borders to get away from its wars. Or, we can look at the most recent earthquakes that wreaked havoc on millions in Haiti, and in Japan. These disasters really do occur. It may be difficult to make these "far off" cataclysms part of our lives as we drive the US Highways in our Chevy Suburbans. So, being warned of what might be happening in your own backyard will probably remain on peoples' minds, on the back burner for now. [Please watch THIS]

CONCLUSION
Natural disasters do set off a chain reaction. Other man made systems, like manufacture of energy, a meltdown follows a natural disaster. Like the nuclear meltdown of Fukushima, Japan, nuclear power plants went offline and now are in meltdown after the Japanese earthquake-tsunami natural disaster.

Honestly, we have no coping mechanism in place for the kind of suffering that can, and will, be caused by natural disaster. Since written history of human occupation of the earth describes numerous extinction level events, we must assume the worst case scenario.

MooPig Rage Segments :: "Indictment of the Current Political Spending" Rage

Eruption of Stupid
Posted in Politics with tags Jindal, Obama, stimulus, volcano

on March 25, 2009  |  by christian

Here’s wonderboy Bobby Jindal a few weeks ago, responding to Obama’s SOTU, trying to drum up some talk-radio style faux-populist rage:

While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes … $140 million for something called “volcano monitoring.” Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, D.C.

And here’s actual reality from Sarah Palin’s state this week:

Alaska’s Mt. Redoubt Volcano, which had been in a tempestuous mood for two months, erupted Sunday night at 10:38 p.m., sending an ash cloud 50,000 feet above sea level and prompting several flight cancelations.

Paternal Abandonment, Part III

PHOTO: Do you look at this picture and see Satan?

I am not calling everyone a loser: sarcasm is the language of losers, and besides I resemble that accusation. It turns out I have lots of help too. Television does enough name calling as an inventor of situations to persuade a generation or two that middle-aged white people are villains, especially white males. It seems for the last fifty years the blunt end of all sarcasm has been this:

"The white man, after all, is the devil."

Bam! There it is. The sun is out and I admit the white man is Satan. Okay? Good... up to this point you were all right? Willing to take a fresh look at what happens next? You guessed it: another "MooPig Miserable Anecdote."

Biggest question blazing in the eyes of me is "Who is white, man?"

Do you remember the original Lassie TV episodes? Lassie lived with white folks.

"You see, Timmy, dogs don't bark at nothing," said Timmy's Mommy. "Lassie is always re-defining her familiar surroundings."

"But Mom, how do you know that? Does Lassie bark at colors?" asked the young boy.

"Well, when my brain is lazy, and I'm tired of trying to keep up, when I'm cranky, you know Timmy?" Mom picked up Timmy's hand. It felt as light as a leaf in her hand.

"Yes, Mom."

"And I want to rest but Lassie starts barking; I just want to scream. But you go out to her with your unlimited energy and curiosity?"

"Yes, Mommy." Timmy rolled her ring around and looked at her fingers.

"Do you always 'see' what Lassie is barking at?" Pointed out Mommy; "Lassie 'sees' odors in 3 dimension, and she recognizes 'sounds' that are too low for us to hear?"

"You mean she smells colors?" said Timmy, "and Lassie hears things we cannot see?"

"Yes, Timmy, precisely," said Mom with a huge smile on her face, beaming down on her little boy.

"Lassie can see Casper.... Mom, Casper isn't invisible," exclaimed Timmy, "Casper is really, really White!"

Casper -- part friend, part fraternal sibling, part invisible ghost of something missing in our lives: Many believe they are abandoned by their paternal parent because they have been brain washed in mass media to think so. True or False?

Post Script: Trouble with defining Morals? HERE also is some help -- SQUEETUS Blog

Let me give you an example of what a moral is, as I learned in a college creative class. In each episode of the old TV show, “Lassie,” Timmy would get into some kind of trouble, Lassie would save the day, and back in the family kitchen, Mom or Dad would sit Timmy down and tell him what he needed to learn from the events. “You see, Timmy,...

Depression is a Writer

In a late response to Bukowski ramblings is some less than cheery info here. The discussion starts here: [click]

Some comparisons:

Under the Volcano, Malcolm Lowry

The book is a tragedy: each of the three protagonists is consumed with guilt: the Consul for becoming a drunken failure, Yvonne for cheating on her husband and leaving her marriage, and Hugh for not achieving enough in his youth. Fittingly, the book takes place on Mexico's Day of the Dead. The Mexicans' celebrations of death form a running counterpoint to the protagonists' strained attempts to battle against their lives. The Mexicans revel in death, while the Counsul, Yvonne, and Hugh, mope through lives that are very much already over.

Henry Charles Bukowski (August 16, 1920 – March 9, 1994) was an influential American poet and novelist. Bukowski's writing was heavily influenced by the geography and atmosphere of his home city of Los Angeles. He is often mentioned as an influence by contemporary authors, and his style is frequently imitated. A prolific author, Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories, and six novels, eventually having more than fifty books in print. He is often remembered as "The Poet Laureate of Skid Row."
