Words To Live By
"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

But What Happens When Mother Earth Doesn’t Cooperate?

So you wanna grow our fuel……. OK, but what happens when Mother Earth doesn’t cooperate?

Late-season snows sent corn prices higher on Monday as grain traders bid up prices in the wake of a government report showing that farmers haven’t been able to get into their fields to plant.

The slow start to what could be one of the most profitable years ever for crop farmers because of corn prices saw just 10 percent of the crop in the ground as of Sunday, far less than the 35 percent average from the last five years, the USDA report said. Minnesota farmers planted 1 percent of the crop by Sunday, but typically have 27 percent planted by now.

Meanwhile there is a ready supply of another fuel just sitting there waiting to be tapped into and used. Oh and our entire economy is based of this other one. 

I don’t know, but lunacracy seems to come to mind. You see forcing our society to grow its energy seems to be a little short sighted. After all, it isn’t like there has never been something to interrupt the growing season in the past. 

Then we could always get into the politics of Big-agri-business, or how politicians try to buy votes. 

» Farm programs damage the environment. Subsidy programs and trade barriers draw marginal farmland into production and encourage the overuse of fertilizers. Lands that might otherwise be used for parks, forests or wetlands get locked into farm use. Florida sugar cane cultivation, for example, causes substantial damage to the Everglades, yet it thrives only because of import protections.

In the distant future, historians will look back at this time in history and wonder how in the world human society survived……. or will they? (that means that maybe we’ll kill ourselves off or destroy our society and send ourselves back to the stone age with these lunacratic policies. )

    Has it occurred to anybody that maybe Mother Nature doesn’t WANT us trying to reduce CO2? That She is perfectly capable of managing her own weather, and doesn’t need us thinking we should be trying to tinker with it?

    Of course, you could look at this as telling us that, with all of the ethanol we’re burning to “stop global warming,” maybe we’ve succeeded in going too far? Maybe it’s time to dial back on the “fight.”
