Makes sense to me


So we are in a recession, right?  Our government has made some pretty fiscally boneheaded decisions to fix some of the best worst ideas of the greediest and short sited people in charge.  I don’t know about the rest of you, but some of my friends and neighbors are bartering what they have if short on cash.  My back yard neighbor had Mike fix his computer, since he is an out of work landscaper, he going to tidy up my yard for me.  I think that works well.

Our military is not just around to break, blow up and disrupt things; they protect, defend and support freedoms around the world.  Part of that mission is to do it with as little as possible sometimes.  That sometimes takes research

We are WAYYY too oil dependant.  Perhaps too nuclear dependant.  The biggest reason that the American solar panel company went under was because it is more expensive to pay and American wage and do it right cheaper than China or another country that has no wage, safety or quality controls.  It is not the technology or the results.

It has been proposed that the US Military let some of their excesses of land be used by alternative energy researchers/producers/companies.  It has also been said that this is a monumental waste of time and money.  I ask, what money?  They are using land which I know from experience is there as a buffer in most cases.   I ask what time?  In my opinion there is no bigger waste of time than fighting to stay back and not push ahead.  Having a back pack made from solar cells to run the communications equipment sounds WAY better than luggin around batteries or a generator.  Lets try and make this easier on us, maybe?

Some retarded (I can say this in my blog) politicians say the the gov’t doesn’t pick winners and losers.  How about supporting long haul trucking initiatives for the teamsters over rail?  (Hm, using more gas)  How about taking the solar panels off of the white house ensuring that we get to pay for the electricity the old fashioned way?   How about creating artificial boundaries in the middle east and promoting unrest to keep oil prices lower and draw attention away from the other resources there (lithium) that we want to use?  How about letting the drug companies run their own tests and poo poo anything other than (I laugh) traditional medicine.  These assholes pick winners and losers ALL THE TIME.  Ugh.  I have been watching and reading the news again.  Someone had me my vibrator.

Oh, for more time to explore this in my head.  But alas, I am not on my time right now.
