anniversery...

Well..the wife and me have been together 27 years. Not to long compared to some, but a good spell compared to most nowadays. Married life aint hard, swallowing your pride from time to time is. To make it work ya gotta compromise. Give and take, that's it. And fightin is a given, just don't go to bed mad. Have a Gud-un now..

Took me long enuff...

I figured out why the president, and congress are passing such large spending bills!!!! They wan their contribuitors to their campaigns to get cushy contracts so they can get their kickbacks and they can retire with little to no worry!!

I would be very skeptical of ANYTHING "Right-Now-Nancy" and "Hurry-Up-Reid"are in favor of. Makes me sad just bout every day thinking my gran-yungunz gran-yungunz will still be paying for this junk.

..been thinkin...

..I been thinkin a bit on different things....the economy, congress, possible legislation and those who create it. I have to wonder if there is there a bit of common sense in DC??
Take the Climate bill that the House passed. Like the Stimulus and budget bills that were just slung thru there. No real time to read or understand them. They got a speed-reader to read one of them just for spite.....hmm....not funny.
If that's the beat that pelosi and her cohorts can do...well......it's time for a change.
That bunch of idgitz has run this country into the ground, economically, physically and otherwise.
WE need people in DC who take this stuff seriously. Not a bunch of self-centered, publicity seeking whores, yes publicity WHORES, who change their minds and morals because of what may be popular at the time. Take pelosi. the only time she can be at the gavel is when there are a mess of photographers present. She AINT gonna do nuttin without gettin her butt ugly mug on the front page. The same goes for her other peons.
The only agenda they have is what the popular upper crust want. They care about the public as much as a case of the crabs. All they want is the rich popular cases, not what is right for America. Very counterproductive.

There should NOT be any democrats, republicans, independents or any other political party in DC. Also there should not be any white, black, red, yellow, green purple or any color, Only Americans.
Seeking what is good for the country, not the popular or political or especially the foreign. Anything short of that and the job is not getting done.

Mayhaps if they could be held financially responsible for 20 or so years, kinda like a guarantee, things might get done...................hmm.....

Whadda Ya think??................

Carbon Credits, cap-&-trade, GHG, global warming as a whole.

I am NOT a fan of the aforementioned. I do believe we affect our environment in some way or fashion. We ALL should leave the place better than we found it. Don't make a mess, if you do clean it up.

Congress has decided that we need to pay for our ability to drive, turn on the lights, mow the grass and other routine chores and the like. Wonder why we pay taxes?? Now we gotta pay a usage tax..?!?!
here's the zinger...We get to pay some corporation or company for this "taxable privilege"...??!
The company then pays a Farmer a fee or as they put it "carbon offsets".
Which means that the Farmer is planting a crop that produces oxygen. This O2 (oxygen) is figured by in tons, tonnes or some other equivalent. The amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is figured in a similar manner and equal amount. The amount of O2 needed to offset the CO2 is figured and then a price per unit is set.
Example- You buy a new car. You pay the price which has shipping and handling and other expenses figured into the sticker price. As the paperwork is figured you pay federal, state, county, local and other taxes for the purchase, which may seem like a third of the total price. Now you have to figure what the "footprint" given off by the engine, the gasses produced by the materials decomposing and other things are. This figure is then equal to a certain amount of CO2. Now you have to purchase "credits" in order to offset" your usage of this vehicle. Even with the newer Hybrid and electric vehicles there is going to be the "credits" to be determined.
You find a company that can sell you the "credits". They have some Farmers in the upper mid=West that have a expansive amount of credits for sale. They charge you say $20.00 per "credit. You need to purchase 40-60 "credits per year to keep your conscience clear.
Other than fuel, mateience, insurance and other things now you have an added expense. What the "company doesn't tell you is that $2.00 of every bought "credit" goes to these Farmers. The "company has a gross profit of $18.00. Middleman.
The governments will get a cut of course........hmm.............

If you want ma to put faith and believe in such a system.....well.....do this one thing and I will concede the point...............................



Catch a fart and paint it green in front of me.
