I fell for it!

I got the foot pads... then my husband proceeded to research them online and they are NOT legit.

The herbs inside of the pouch you stick to the bottom of your foot reacts with your foot sweat and turns dark.

And I ask -

Why, in this age of advanced technology, do Senators and Representatives travel back and forth between their constituency and the Capitol? It seems that there might be a better way to maximize their time and increase their production.

Also - why doesn't our government utilize the internet to ensure that every bill is voted on by all elected officials? It is a lot to ask, and would be a lot of work to develop, but that is a project I would be interested in pushing!

The same rules apply

My father-in-law and I were discussing housing prices and it strikes me that the price indicators for housing are partially the same for international business. The most important thing you pay for is location for both.

It's interesting to see that globalization has slowed down, true, but it's important to remember that globalization is something that a lot of people in the world are used to and in order to become local-focused again businesses needed globalization to succeed.

brilliant!

I think that's a great idea! who said that we need to use one type of energy to power a car, or buildings for that matter?

Frustrating

I just heard that Exxon is planning on selling off all of their gas stations and investing more into the refining process.

Coupled with this little update, it is hard not to feel deflated.

I agree with Wolverine - we should focus on solar panels on houses before mass plants. It still infuriates me that oil and gas development can continue full speed ahead. On Feds freeze new solar projects on public land, pending review posted 1 year, 5 months ago 26 Responses

My mistake

I forgot to don my anarchist hat and communist bells.

Where do you folks get the idea that I am a crazy-hippie-no-thinker?

I was just trying to have a friendly discussion. I never brought politics, or anything personal into this. I even stated that I didn't agree that there was a correlation with the weather and global warming. I don't think I even said that I believe in in! The personal conclusions being made in this commentary is astounding.

Also: I should have clarified what I meant by positivity. I meant, Brute only fueled the fire by pointing out how wrong the original post was, repeatedly. So, by tearing something down he was being negative. Fine, but I am always interested in the positive and productive ideas that people have. I'm not out to get anyone, I'm just curious.

To Brute

"Carbon Dioxide is PLANT FOOD and is exactly what the politicians/eco-chondriacs are attempting to regulate through taxation and government fiat. CO2 has nothing to do with the environment except that it helps plants grow healthier and stronger; faster."

We are not plants. I am confused by your logic. I don't know about you but I thrive on O2, yes I can handle some CO2 in the mix, but not if these levels rise. With more coal and nuclear power plants being constructed, I will really have to buy surgeons masks for my daily commute.

The laws we have on pollution are 30 years old, time to upgrade - enough is never enough when you are fighting for something, anything.

I do not give money to politicians, but thanks for looking out for my wallet. And as far as my retirement plan goes, I daily search for ways to get OUT of the investments that do not align with my morals. I am constantly looking for socially responsible options. I understand that you know everyone is not as perfect as they come off to be, but stop being so damn negative and have a little faith that SOME people do not just follow the wave of "popular belief" and think as clearly as you do, but just decided to live a different way.

Just curious, but in what other ways do you focus your rage? (Sorry, but it is hard not to read frustration into your writing.)On Mainstream media misses connection between global warming and Midwest floods posted 1 year, 5 months ago 120 Responses

Weather and the Media

I agree with much of what has been said in the commentary so far, but I have a few questions.

Doesn't the issue at large boil down to two things:

The temperature change coupled with "humanity's" drive for progress puts the rest of the species we share this earth with at risk, therefore putting our food supply and ecosystems at risk.

The displacement of populations as a result of extreme weather puts further strain on already stressed economies.

Yes, extreme weather has a history on our planet albiet the documentation has been shoddy, but that should not discount the the aforementioned matters at hand. Do I think that there is a link between the frequency and power of these storms all over the world? Yes, but I know that is just a hunch and I do not study weather systems so I could very well be wrong. I also know that the weather is something that seems to escape our predictions, even though we have been in practice for hundreds of years.

Also, I don't think that "fear mongering," as some have called it, regarding weather and pollution is any worse than war AND fear mongering which we are all experiencing now. I would much prefer to be afraid of the weather and nature's "bad temper" than be afraid of "terrorists."On Mainstream media misses connection between global warming and Midwest floods posted 1 year, 5 months ago 120 Responses
