122. Sometimes, you just cannot convince people to
look beyond what they believe to be true. After awhile it makes no sense to continue to try to convince them to see things the way that you see them.

As far as I am concerned, I do not believe that ANYTHING is impossible.

I am not a scientist, in fact, I am an artist who generally runs from any scientific discussion, but I found this one particularly fascinating.

There was a time when man used drums to communicate.
There was a time when man used torches for light.
There was a time when man did not know how to fly.
There was a time when man did not know how to harness nuclear energy.
There was a time when scientists did not believe in the power of thought to cause physical reaction.(See Karl Rove,GWB, Rush, et al).

It is not beyond my realm of belief that man may be capable of affecting the rotation of the planet.
