Eh, we're looking at this differently. To me, what makes our CO2 emmissions a problem is the horriffically wasteful way we go about doing things. C + O2 -> CO2, ΔH = -393.5kJ/mol is what it is. How we go about utilizing that -393.5kJ/mol is often quite stupid. Stuff like some parking lot and...

No, that's just a side effect. The real goal is to stuff cash into the pockets of the people who are set to profit big time if the cheap, safe, reliable, and proven alternative to the expensive *cough* "green" *cough* solution is regulated to extinction or outright banned. Are humanities CO2...

Whargrbl FTFA: "gravely mistaken interpretations of the Constitution" Um, the Supreme Court's interpretation of the US Constitution is the authoritative interpretation and the law of the land. You may not like how they intrepreted it Mr. fancy pants Harvard Law Professor, but you're just part...

Conservation and increased energy efficiency: good. How the greens are go about it: Pants on head retarted. I liked this bit from TFA: The stuff they're pushing does not save Americans money. It's usually more expensive and often not a suitable substitute for the application. Take this...

A Yahoo link about the injunction got greenlit on Fark. The comments are about what you'd expect from that liberal cesspool whenever the left gets told "no, you can't do that": whine and cheese

He* is providing very good front-and-center Exhibit 'A' for why both term limits and age maximums for public officials are a good idea. He was first elected to a political office in 1971. People reaching retirement age today would have been in the 8th grade (give-or-take) back then. * Along...

It was the US Park Police. They're the urban version of the US Park Ranger who will cite you if he ain't happy with your campsite.

Good cops don't care about politics ... https://www.latimes.com/world/la-xpm-2011-mar-30-la-pn-scalia-traffic-ticket-20110330-story.html Yes, the US Park Police has ticketed a US Supreme Court Justice for causing a traffic accident while he on his way to work.

Heck, if I was a tough-on-crime "I'mma cite you for everything I can up to and including littering because I see a gum wrapper in your ashtray" Cop I'd be inclined to let her off easy by calling for a cab and tow truck to get her and her car home - on her dime, I ain't that generous - because I...

Shadowrun was cool and edgy when I and Princess were kids. Our daughters: "Dad, this is bullshit." stated less eloquently and far less politely.

But oh no, we can't do that because that costs money in unpopular ways with enough voters to ensure that it'll never happen because a Congresscritter won't vote their conscience if it means they won't be re-elected.

The Monroe Doctrine in a nutshell ... "Dear Europe, don't fuck with the Americas. You will regret it. Sincerly, The United States". The US actually could and did back that up. One of the ACW battles took place just outside of Cherbourg, France in 1864.

Here in Indiana there are at least twenty "you must comply with this" checks which must be passed before you even get registered to vote. This should not be the background music of a voter registration PSA bragging about "all the things we do":

St. Peter will place his soul on a scale and compare the weight of his unforgiven sins to the weight of a feather.

If I were to vote in one of those elections. Which I have not.

I don't think voter fraud is a big problem in the US because most voters are honest. "The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do." - Joseph Stalin

Missouri still thinks that I'm a St. Louis resident even though I haven't been there since 03. Blame gov't inertia.

https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud Voter fraud in the US is pretty rare and does get caught. Cheating, OTOH, is a different issue ...

Your voter registration card - and that alone - should be good enough. That's all that was needed before you were born. EDIT: Most Army Sergrant Majors (~39yrs on average) are about five years younger than I am.

The US was not a "papers please" country when I was younger. It's turning into one and I don't like it.
