Ever notice how these political types are becoming little more than a fan?

The liberals suck, and the conservatives blow.

Guess all that really matters is which side of the fan your in front of [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Sadly both have become so pre occupied with their specific party agendas and their greed to put their parties future and power ahead of anything else that any real sulutions to problems (present, future, and even imaginary) is completely lost.

That leaves us with more propaganda than we can weed thru, countless fabrications of various stories designed only to push public opinion in a manner that supports their party or its supporters, and problems that only mutate and multiply.

You have to wonder how much all of America would do to help or protect the environment, or back controversial medical research etc if all of our legislators would just cut all the BS and give it all up straight. I mean its obvious that just about everything from uncountable gadgets to reduce auto emissions (most dont work right anyhow) right on up to carbon credits (lmao) has little to do with the problems obviously avoiding the largest areas (ever consider that industrial pollution out numbers autos by many times, but only has seen a portion of the regulation) in favor of victimizing the weaker political contributors who also happen to offer a much larger potential for income to the govt as well.

Still no matter global cooling or warming its gonna cost us somehow, and its all only financing the wealthy, or continuing our countries decent into socialism. Either way its gonna suk or blow.

 

I wish someone would tell the electric company the planet is warmer. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ..
Story of Two Houses


LOOK OVER THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING

TWO HOUSES AND SEE IF YOU CAN TELL WHICH

BELONGS TO AN ENVIRONMENTALIST.


HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American
household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national
average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.


HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.


HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.


HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas . Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.


So whose house is gentler on the environment? Yet another story you WON'T hear on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC or read about in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it's truly "an inconvenient truth."


NO KIDDING!

Good point. Here is another: The largest intact fossilized rain forest ever studied is in eastern Illinois. It is the remains of a rain forest from 300 million years ago. "It would be hot, extremely humid, really uncomfortable to be standing around there," Elrick said. "Something out of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Lost World.'"

Just wanted to see this again [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Oh and to ask what was it that Al inveneted again???? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

You want to talk about liberalism, A university somewhere, cant remember the name, has designed a 4 door sedan that can travel 400 miles at 70 mph on compressed air. But you will never see it because the liberals want the oil money. Could you imagine pulling into a gas station popping a quater in th air pump, and your on your way! i say build these things and save that gas for my quad!!!

Al Gore? Didn't he invent the Internet? LOL.....He is a career politician and pathological liar. People like him always have a hidden agenda. Did you know that ol' Al lives in a big energy wasting mansion, with a power bill of some $2000 a month? He drives around in a motor cade of SUV's. Oh yes, then the hypocrite makes a lame *** movie about how every one else needs to conserve energy in order to save the planet. He's one of those "do as I say, not as I do" low life's.... Perhaps he should start practicing what he preaches....

You didn't hear that the current burning down of the rainforest causes 75% of all CO emissions??
