Does anyone else think this is just a clusterfuck waiting to happen? You watch… everyone will be in such a rush to ‘claim’ some part of the Arctic and then as soon as they find some vast patch of something we want (or worse don’t want) under or on “their land” the blame and clean up will cost whichever country more than they have and thus cause worldwide catastrophe with the money systems. ….AGAIN!

Why is it that no one in charge around here can learn from experience and see how we will act in the future? …we need more mothers in charge. We mothers know. We know exactly how our kids will react in any given situation and we prevent the situations from occurring when we know it’s not going to turn out good. It isn’t rocket science, but it is brainy.

The way I see it, mothers are the smartest people on the planet. Go figure.

What would I do with the Arctic? I’d look you straight in the eye and tell you to leave that shit alone. It won’t do you any good to have it; you only want it because everyone else wants it. Then I’d go buy you ice cream to make you forget about it.
