Today’s story is brought to you by Paul Mccartney Piedmont Park. While the former Beatle is fabulously wealthy and famous, he is doing this concert because he loves to sing and he is raising awareness for the ever popular movement these days, the Green movement. Although the presence of Paul Mccartney in this concert will generally only benefit the Piedmont Park, he is hoping to raise awareness of how badly polluted Mother Earth is and how much she needs our help.

Oddly enough the concert really benefits such a small area, but any small gains of progress is still progress. With Paul Mccartney performing in Piedmont Park, my mind drifts back to a famed Republican professor that I had, Professor Cipollini. Now this guy was great and hilarious, and just as important knew what he was talking about. This one lecture he gave was about how humanity was not that big of a deal in affecting this planet environmentally, how global warming was scientifically not proven to be true, and of course Al Gore. [Al gore, of Man Bear Pig fame, no doubt has heard of Paul Mccartney in Piedmont Park but probably does not have the time to attend such a great concert]. After his usual angry tirade was finished, which I always enjoyed and learned a lot from, Professor Cipollini went on and on against Al Gore in particular. What my professor had a huge problem with was Al Gore, the Environmental Movement, and how anyone can “clear his or her conscience” of their polluting their environment by buying carbon credits from the former Vice President. He was angry at Al Gore because he felt it was just a fancy scam aimed at lining the pockets of a politician (which of course is typical according to the corrupt-politician stereotype that is commonly held by many) and that all a carbon credit really was, was a “Stupid #@$king tree, that he [Al Gore] freaking plants, in THE MIDDLE OF GOD D@#N NOWHERE that will NOT DO A DAMN THING for this planet!” end quote. Yes those were his exact words in that exact tone and I really wished I had a recorder back then because whether or not you agree with the great professor, I think anyone would get a kick out of listening to him.

Now whether Paul Mccartney singing and dancing at Piedmont Park’s concert tonight will do much, it will at the least, bring more social proof or social encouragement to the people to protect our environment. What was once just a “hippie, tree hugger” ideology is now more or less a huge social trend that everybody needs to be a part of. Me personally I’m just too lazy to do anything. I mean, I recycle, I don’t use resources or paper unless I absolutely have to, and I don’t litter. While I will not be at the Paul Mccartney Piedmont Park concert, I do know and support what he is trying to do, even if the benefit is specifically just for Piedmont Park because all of us doing a little bit of this and that to save the world will add up to benefits and dividends that will compound beyond any of our imaginations, and the air will smell good for once.
