Yesterday, I tweeted that I’m not a big fan of Earth Day.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m a big fan of Spaceship Earth but I can’t see how focusing on taking care of Earth for one day a year can have a sufficient impact on our continued residence on this pale blue dot. Spending one a month a year to promote (read: exploit) African American contributions to American society is offensive. It creates a societal surge of interest (read: money) and then fades into the fringe of public consciousness.

I was the nerdy, pint-size manifestation of Ferris Bueller rushing to repair the family VCR before the folks got home.
