  Micah,
  I’m glad you liked my blog. Thank you. My daughter and I started blogs earlier this summer. She is starting 9th grade and the idea was for it to help her writing. Check out Book Sneeze for books to review. Their link is on my side bar.

Good luck with your blog – I admire any effort to address environmental issues. I can’t agree with your support for creationism however..what we need in the face of the environmental crisis is rationality and rigorous science to inform decisions on how we try to stop Polar Bears (and so much more) going extinct like the dinosaurs did, 65million years ago……
