| We're having rehash for dinner. It so often tastes better than the original. Especially after a Mongolian cocktail. |

The book by Joseph Chilton Pearce called "Evolutions End" was a major revelation for me.

Oh man, be careful of that. Calling it pseudo-science woudl be a kindness... broad, sweeping claims for which he cannot possibly have adequate support. Note, I'm not saying that some of the things he points to are not issues; some of them almost certainly are. But his aim was clearly to create a sensational work in order to enrich himself. |

Imagine a mining operation which uses biological organisms to extract the metals, instead of dangerous chemicals. Imagine that the organisms consume harmful atmospheric carbon in the process, resulting in carbon-credits for the country hosting the mine.
It took some pretty creative geologists to put that together, and put it to work... Bioheapleaching

Sounds like the book link I posted. Good valid points and serious food for thought which adds up to an essay or an editorial piece, at best but not an entire book. |

No, sir, I do not back my lashes at you sir; but I back my lashes, sir.
