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.
