I hope you got the license plate, etc. and called that in! It's just getting crazier and crazier....My opinion it's ALL DRUG-RELATED. THe really scary drugs like meth, for instance, are just so cheap and plentiful. And not just dealers and dopers are using anymore--it's the middle class which is non-existant anymore because the friggin economy is in the toilet so now we have rich folk and poor folk-the "middle class" is GONE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-4130077937635702502008-04-25T14:11:00.000-06:002008-04-25T14:11:00.000-06:00This is several days after the fact but I thought ...This is several days after the fact but I thought I'd let anyone who cares know how I celebrated Earth Day....by burning copious quantities of gasoline in my big ol' late 70's full size pickup that has no (nor ever had) a catalytic converter (>8000 lbs GVWR, you see) locked in 4WD low-range, tearing up and down various gullies and arroyos out on the West Mesa.

While it might be a very small foot print, and helps breed competition to make new industries of the future.

Think volcano's, earthquakes, meteor strikes, (seriously, in seconds the meteor crater in AZ was bigger than anything you will see in your lifetime unless we are struck by a meteor again, which the earth didn't do to itself, but you get the drift), tsunami's, hurricanes, tornado, etc. Compare those to our pollution, trash and resource problems, and yeah, my carbon footprint is much smaller than anything else that could be happening. Neither of us is saying to squander our resources, or do things deliberately to destroy the environment, but just not be so cowed by our govt telling us that they have all the answers, and that the answer is for us to support them as they spend our money on making us fear that the sky is falling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-40455547317184404332008-04-22T12:27:00.000-06:002008-04-22T12:27:00.000-06:00Happy Earth Day!

Give us your money, donate to our cause, or else _____ (insert whatever they are promoting, be it nukes, global warming, the ice age, pollution, mad cow disease, wolves, the russians, HIV, bird flu, etc etc etc) will kill us alllllll!!! And don't forget to donate to your church so you can get into whatever heaven you believe in, because no money makes the baby jesus cry. It's all a scam, and you know, when it gets to that point? The earth will just shake us off like it did the dinosaurs, and start all over again. And all your money, and recycling, and saving the whales, and biking to work won't matter anyway, we won't leave much of a trace. Just bones, and dust.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
