  It's good to clean up

  I think it's great that campuses, towns and companies are cleaning up their pollution.

  What i have a problem with is student activists who can't get the support of more than 10% of the student body, assuming to speak for everyone.On Students tell Penn State they want Kyoto now! posted 3 years, 5 months ago 5 Responses

  10 percent! Woohoo...

  So these students managed to get an entire ten percent of the student body to support their cause and now they think that all policies should be changed to suit their whim.

  Enough is enough

  I'm a pretty conservative type of guy on a whole bunch of issues, so it should come as no surprise that i take a conservationist stance on this one...

  I also happen to disagree with Canadian policy on many things, most notably the anti-jihadist war, etc.

  But...you folks need to keep your water to yourselves.  We have gotten way too wasteful with our water and taken way too much for granted.  We've already damned up nearly every single river in the Lower 48--wrecking fisheries in the process.  People who want to live in the desert should learn to live with a lot less water.  

  There comes a point where some of our lifestyles reach a point of absurdity.  

  Keep your water, keep some of your rivers wild and tell the US to get used to it.On Where's tomorrow's water? posted 3 years, 5 months ago 15 Responses

  Typical Corporate-controlled Dems...erm...wait...

  So where's all the vitriolic comments about how typical this is of Deomcrats to be bought and paid for by corporate interests?  You know, how they're selling out America for the sake of share-holder profits?

  Or is that argument reserved just for Republicans?On Point, shoot, go to jail posted 3 years, 5 months ago 8 Responses

  Common Sense Should Decide

  I'm assuming that this is a homeland security sort of thing...

  Still, while we should be wary of anyone suspicious who is documenting these types of plants, common sense should come into play at some point.  If you're a local and can offer a decent explanation, there shouldn't be a problem, as long as private property is respected.

  This is a problem we've created ourselves.  In everyone's rush to avoid any appearance of being "judgmental" (surely the single biggest sin if you consider youreself a liberal), we've abdicated all personal responsibility for what happens in our own neighborhoods.  As a result, lawmakers feel they need to do something to fill the gap and come up with silly laws like this.

  If i see a plant in my neighborhood doing something fishy and decided to document it, i fully expect that others might wonder what i am doing and investigate.  I should be willing to explain, without getting all upset about it, even if it is cops who do the asking.  It's called being part of a community.

  On the other hand, if i get all upset about it and start acting like my rights have been violated simply because i had to explain myself, especially in this day and age, then i have no one but myself to blame for silly, draconian laws like this.On Point, shoot, go to jail posted 3 years, 6 months ago 8 Responses
