As the snow piled up, today, the postman delivered a Large Flat Rate Priority Mail Box of my latest wins from one of my favorite auction houses. Upon opening it, it looks as if four more months of winter will be needed to deal with it properly!

And as the global warming fraud continues to fall apart (the fraud designed by globalists in their attempt to tax the very air you breathe, and which is still dishonestly being peddled by lying politicians) and it has been revealed that the earth has actually been cooling for the past nine years, who knows.

Hint: as the economic decline continues, you might want to stock up on food, stamps, and philatelic supplies. It will give you something to eat and something to do should you find yourself among the unemployed!

Shhh! Not supposed to mention that.

But you are rignt, if they can't be purged politically and take drastic steps against the people as they fall. But I hope it doesn't come to that and we can just get them all tried for treason against the Constitution they took an oath to uphold but continue to act against.

I wish it wasn't true, but we have just had our hottest, driest summer on record. We would of had a total drought for about 100 days if it wasn't for the 0.2mm of rain we had. Thats about 1/128 of an inch.

Have fun sorting those stamps.

I don't read Danish, but the picture tells the story.

This stamp celebrates 25 years of Greenland waiting for global warming and climate change. It shows a pair of hardy Greenlanders looking out for greening over the horizon while their dog team patiently waits. None of them remember why it was called Greenland because it hasn't been green in anyone's memory, but they don't think their Danish ancestors called it Greenland to be ironic. They deduce it was once a much warmer place but that the earth has cooled and left them virtual glacier dwellers. Still they have hope. What a people!

Thanks for ruining my morning! I read this forum to learn about stamps. I don't come here to hear someone else spout off like this. I know I'm piping up on a thread of the pillars, but please try to keep this kind of stuff to an appropriate place.

Stamps and politics are intrinsically linked. Just look at WW2 Germany. While I don't always agree with anyone who posts any political views I do respect them. We are here to expand our Minds, Collections, Knowledge and to make Friends. If you don't like the way a thread is going you can stop reading. Then move on to the next one. It is your choice!

Well, get going man! I, for one, am hoping for much more snow for you.

Let's see what you can't use.

I have always liked stamps that depict the earth as a whole, a picture of a globe or earth from apace. It is nice to have a wider perspective at times.

The idea (going back many many years, history!) of a Mother Earth, a kind of living planet, that has, as it's own priority, the looking after of itself perhaps puts things into perspective for us.

Whether by weather changes that seem dramatic and sudden or gentle and gradual, to the creatures, great and small that live on the surface, or even more dramatic shifts in the earth's magnetic field, or orbital inclination, or distance from our sun itself, the planet seems to shake itself once in a while to recover it's own equilibrium in the universe.

But perhaps that is us personalizing planets and events beyond ourselves so we can grasp the larger concepts and deal with them.

There is also the instinct of survival. I think this instinct sometimes gets personalized into politics and business because we, as humans, can really only comfortably deal with a certain type of information, that information that is or can be interpreted into terms that are like those we have contact with every day. Friends help friends.

You get too high-falutin' and wishy-washy and the info just sails right through and doesn't stick.

So, humans look after themselves, they survive. Governments, a human extension of ourselves, look after themselves also. Businesses look after themselves too. All humans. All being human.

If we ever get out into space we will probably personalize suns and planets and system-wide events or galaxy-wide events so we can understand and deal with them.

I deal with all this stuff by collecting stamps. Little pieces of paper that have ideas and concepts all nicely squished into a little space I can deal with. Mostly. Sometimes. I tend to retreat from stuff I don't understand or need to or want to know at times.

What was it that ruined your morning? The truth about the lie of global warming or realizing you are constantly being lied to by government and mainstream media? Or was it the reminder that you were sitting in 30 inches of 'global warming' in the DC area, possibly without power with your local road crews unequipped to deal with it? How many unusual snow storms out your way, this year?

Warming, indeed!

Winter happens to be the best time for stamps, up here. My post was about stamps. Also, did you miss the Greenland stamp? Greenland isn't going to get any warmer for these poor souls. Greenlanders would welcome global warming, so why should we be so selfish in trying to prevent it though, in truth, it won't happen. The earth HAS BEEN COOLING since 2000. That's why the fake scientists working for the fraud had to cook the books and burn every legitimate scientist who disagreed. Yes, it's all out there, now, and why the Copenhagen conference fell apart.

The whole climate change scenario was merely a fabrication to close down coal, close down even more industry, create a bogus carbon trading futures derivatives market a la ENRON, and have everyone pay carbon taxes to the banksters on everything that moves or doesn't move. Now that should ruin your morning, your day, and might possibly ruin the rest of your life. So sorry if you happen to be someone who bought into the fraud as most of America has.

Getting back to stamps...

Collin, I plan to list some of what I can't use as I go along, and might have some items posted soon, time permitting.
