Lyrics Quiz: Blog Action Day
Scooter McGavin's 9th Green — ... Supposedly today is Blog Action Day where people are to write about the environment. I really hate these types of events because getting people to do something for one day does not make a habit and in the big picture rare put a dent on whatever they are trying to accomplish. Personally everyday I try to cut down my carbon footprint, I have been using energy efficient products for a couple years now and am pretty diligent to turn thing off at the surge protector when not in use. I haven’t yet converted to an energy efficient car yet on account that I’m poor. Although if Al Gore truly cared about the environment he would use his Nobel Prize money to buy me a Prius. Granted if Al Gore truly cared about the environment, he wouldn’t have flown to the ceremony in a private jet. But anyways. ...

Poverty in Colorado
Lair of the Green Knight — Hi all… In June 2008, Governor Ritter and the Colorado Children’s Campaign worked to release a report on the current state of well being of Colorado children. Quite literally, the information is stunning. I’ve lived in Colorado all but five years of my life and I never would have thought the following was true: “Poverty is the biggest obstacle to opportunity for children, and between 2000 and 2006, the number of children living in poverty in Colorado increased by 73 percent - the highest increase by far of ...

Poverty and Hollywood…
Lair of the Green Knight — Hi all… Until recently, I had never really given poverty much thought. But with Blogger Action Day coming up, it’s made me think about it some. If you go back as far as the silent movies with Charlie Chaplin, one of his best loved characters was the Tramp. He never had enough to eat and lived in hard times. But many people were facing hard times back then, so it was good to see a character you could identify with and see the humor in things. Poverty in movies today isn’t quite as easy to see. There are a ...

The Face of Poverty, a Short Film on SnagFilms
Lair of the Green Knight — Hi all… To continue the theme of poverty started by the Blogger Action Day movement, I thought I’d feature one of the short documentaries I’ve found on the web about poverty in New York. The following is the abstract for the film at SnagFilms. “This short film confronts America’s widening poverty gap through a creative journey along New York City streets, observing the stark contrast between the rich and the poor contained within only a few blocks. People from all walks of life, whether they live on ...

This year’s topic is climate change – which, shall we say, is a wee bit controversial.
