The iQuit

Apple's latest and greatest, dubbed the 'iQuit' by the Democratic National Party's official blog, has been released- from the Chamber of Commerce, that is.

Apple joined a handful of other major businesses in leaving the Chamber of Commerce in a row over the Chamber's role in climate change. As much as I have never been a fan of Apple, I must praise them for taking a stand, and recognising that businesses must step up to reduce the noxious effects they can have on the world's environment and resources.

I also feel obligated to mention, that even though I cannot support NIKE, they did demonstrate a modicum of awareness by resigning from the Board of Directors...

Check out the DNP's blog and see for yourself what they had to say...

...and read what the Chamber of Commerce has been lobbying for in regards to climate change, and who stood up against it.

The Conspirators

Sleep withholds from me its rest,
Loss' trophy of conquest.
Together they conspire
Causing mis'ry and mire,
To keep me from moving on,
Prisoner of tranquil calm.
Unable to move forward-
Time holds me still- a coward,
Like Atlas! He was sentenced
To pay forever, repentance.
Eternally forced to bear
The weight and pain and fear.
Seconds feel like hours past,
Yet this week still feels like last-
Trapped in Time I cannot hear
The words you offer in my ear-
Away from me they drift and fly
Drowned by Lament's silent cry.
So too my tongue cannot find
What it once would twist and wind
Unable to speak aloud,
My words have become enshroud
Muffled in a blanket, woven
To keep my words unspoken,
By the conspirators three
Who thrive and feed on mis'ry.
