   Love this song – with the discussion, at the end is worth skipping.

   Good song! is about the only thing I can say about a political song in a space where political comment isn’t allowed. For a moment there I thought it was Katy Soljak and thought, wow, she turns up in some interesting places. I think Katy is about ten years younger, though.

   This is worth a watch, maybe?
   According to
   http://www.cowspiracy.com/ — The movie.
   In 2009 a 2 man advisory team from the world bank said, commenting on Animal Agriculture
   Greenhouse gas Emissions 13% all transportation (cars, trucks trains etc) 51% Animal Agriculture including deforestation, and farts)

   Consumes 1/3 of all fresh water
   Occupies 45% of the earth land
   responsible for 91% of the Amazon rain forest destruction
   Leading cause of species extinction (Da)
   Leading cause of ocean dead zones
   and habitat destruction …..
   %
   5% US domestic water use verses 55% US Animal Agriculture.
   660 Gallons of water to make a 1/4 ponder = to 2 months worth of showers?

   Interesting discussion on slashdot – how many devices do you have with a GPS unit built in?

   http://slashdot.org/poll/2887/devices-i-have-with-a-gps-reciever-built-in

   Some of the lists are amazing. I try not to overdo tech toys, but I score a 5: smartphone, old smartphone, tablet, 2 handheld GPS for tramping.

   The march of technology.
