Knowledge is power but ... hold on


My children have iPads. However they seldom use the iPad because they have laptop and computer. But know what? They finally used them when suddenly there was a black out.

In Canada there are more children using computer than any other place in the world. It seems that paper and ballpen are already obsolete. Canadians value the importance of their trees. For them the trees are the source of life. The source of shade and shelter, the source of oxygen. We consumed so much paper: paper towel, toilet tissue, napkin and bond paper. We use cheques made of paper, and some of our clothes are made from the products that trees gave. Think of all the many important attributes that the trees can give us is endless.

High regard for its value made so many Canadians wait for the time, right time to have those precious trees cut from its trunk. There is always that pre-caution on what if. What if we cut our trees we denuded the forest. What if we cut our trees there's a raging flash flood? What if we cut the trees there are calamities we cannot avoid. What if we cut all the trees we are left with no resources at all? Those nagging questions we oftenly asked.

Gone are the days when we believe in the old  Bible story of the great, great flood. That you always need a rod just like Moses do. OMG! When Charlton Heston aka Moses was enlightened from filming the movie (10 Commandments) He then realized there is something wrong there and later decided it's best to use guns. Mr. Dick Cheney followed the same idea. Right on! Dude we are not Jesus, we are not Moses. GOD has given us our brains to think purposely in accordance with our environment. That's how our economy is based >> on ENVIRONMENT!

Sometimes it's not deforestation that caused the flood. There are too many problems that arise why flood happened in certain areas. I will give you some of the many examples:

FLOOD are caused by:

1.Tsunami and tidal wave.
2. Earthquake
3. Non-stop rain, storm or typhoon in a simultaneous order
4. Dam broke down or has crack due to earthquake or other causes
5. Too many barriers along the river, ocean and other passages
6. Too much garbage dumped on places where water passes through
7. People tend to build their houses near the river bank, or along the river which they are not supposed to.
8. Houses built on lowland or low area
9.Some land are artificially been made from compost that the elevation is not really strong. Reclamation area.
10. There are islands that are artificially been structured and "not really true land."
11. Too much mining. The elevation or structure of the soil and rock was harmed and therefore gave way to a coming flow of strong current. Then flood happens.
12. Some land has no characteristic of having lodestones or magnets or any strong loads of earth materials other than it's made like a "raft."
13. Flat land. There is no mountain or hills. No higher ground whatsoever that water comes easily as it goes. Flat!
14. Now you wonder why Egypt has pyramid.
15. Then you build so many skyscrapers to augment the need to be higher from the lowlands but taking away the important metal and materials  from the earth ...it shakes the ground.
16. As what Mr. Gore used to say ---there is GLOBAL WARMING. The iceberg is melting.

Okay many will be shaken and stirred. Many will have a stroke from reading this. So be careful with your heart. You only have one life to live so LIVE.
