We started a post concerning the celebration of Earth Day, but it sort of fizzled out. Maybe we will return to it at some later date. Earth day is for geophysicists and geologists, no? Why does the world need another pseudo-holiday? May-day, Easter, any Spring festival, all these already perform the function Earth day purports to. If we are celebrating the planet with Earth day, make it about the mantle, the crust, the unknown core, the physical nature of the world we have only begun to understand. How is it that life is sustained on this object floating through space? The life celebrates itself with other holidays. Let's make Earth day about the planet, on its own terms.
That was the thrust of it. So now it seems unnecessary to return to it at some later date.
Here is a link to a fantastic reggae contrivance by the master Lee Scratch Perry. Highly recommended listening. Most high. Happy belated 4:20 and rekkid store day!
