I put this to you: You cannot have a fully stable relationship. There is no such thing.

First of all, take the sexual desire that is a must for most relationships to succeed. Is sexual desire ever stable? I’d say no. If it was stable, it would be without spirit. Lacking the intensity that sexual desire needs just like fire needs oxygen.

Also, when two people come together, they do it with minds that are differently wired. One might be very emotionally intense and the other might be somewhat indifferent or slow to react on emotional matters. Right there you have an imbalance – instability. In the start of a relationship, the couple is deeply in love and in lust but after a while when they get used to each other’s behaviors, things calm down and might move into what some people call “a stable relationship”. Yet, if their love is strong enough, they will remain somewhat out of control – even in this stable situation. Out of control when they have sex

Recently, the Wyoming Tribune Eagle's Outdoors Editor Shauna Stephenson published an article about recent changes to energy rules and regulations from the nation's Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and how they would affect both Wyoming's energy producers and the conservation groups that fight them. (Yes, we need energy, but not at any cost)  Stephenson failed to ask the one fundamental question that should be driving this debate and instead focused on the partisan issue at hand.

The driving question should be: why is it Washington's decision what Wyoming does with our energy?

Being something of a tree hugger, I understand the issue of sustainability and conservation, but I am practical enough to understand that the forces at work here are not what they pretend to be.  A generally free market, Constitutional understanding of the issue immediately tells me that government, especially centralized control in Washington, will do little to "conserve" anything and a lot to bring new hazards to our great state's future.

While us good intentioned and concerned members of the human race have been recycling our aluminium cans, using recycled paper and using public transport in our attempts to save our precious and only planet, it now is becoming clear that we have been conned all the way along. Our efforts were going absolutely nowhere. What we have done individually to date may be good for our soul, but at the end of the day it is big multinational enterprises and governments who are destroying planet Earth for our grandchildren. And they haven’t been willing to slow down their destructive practices and policies.

Until now. All has changed. As I write, the world of government and commerce is meeting in Copenhagen to do what I don’t really know. Probably issue a nice declaration on the last day, and then they can all go home after two weeks of good food and wine.

However, it is part of a mood shift within the economies of the world at present towards a new money making opportunity. Green Greed. Gordon Gekko would approve of this I am sure. It is right up his monopolistic street, where corporations can exploit their consumers for maximum benefit and most importantly, profit. Did you really think that our planet would be saved by kind hearted, socially spirited and responsible individuals working together?
