$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Vogelzang', 'T')he planet is made of dirt.
If by "dirt" you mean "soil" no it isn't. There's very little soil on the planet compared to other materials.
He actually meant "filth" , pay attention

Sorry Vogelzang, I thought I understood the thread and had gotten into the groove
only to find out upon peer review by Pstarr that I had gotten a sniff of swamp gas
and decided to write about it.

I recently attended a wedding reception and did every dance step I ever thought I
knew during one song on the dance floor while my relatives protected their feet
and stood around the edges of the dance floor with revulsion. I had a load of fun,
and I broke a sweat, but I couldn't explain this afterwards either.

I know you are making killer points, and I now know I am missing them somehow,
I will try not to shoot off into the weeds and louse up a swell thread again.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Vogelzang', 'C')heck out these videos about a man, woman and baby living in the woods. Some scenes show the man eating worms and snails. Is this how the misanthropes want us to live? It might work until the parasitic worms slowly turn your body into Swiss cheese.

Check this out:

An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right

Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take

You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown

Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy

I dont know about worms, but snails are absolutely delicious. Not that I've heard of a parasite that you can get by eating snails, but 2-3 cloves of garlic a day will choke any worm. But then again you might complain about the smell.

Democratic Climate Revolt
A bipartisan effort to stop the EPA's anticarbon crusade.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... el_opinion



Democratic Climate Revolt
A bipartisan effort to stop the EPA's anticarbon crusade.

The Obama Administration has been moving full-speed ahead on anticarbon regulation, never mind waiting for Congress to pass a bill. But now opposition is building among senior Democrats, with two powerful committee Chairmen introducing a bill last week to bar the Environmental Protection Agency from declaring that carbon is a dangerous pollutant.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson is busy writing new rules that would let her drive a tax-and-regulation bulldozer through the U.S. economy under laws never meant to apply to greenhouse gases. Ms. Jackson is expected to issue new anticarbon regulations for cars and trucks next month before moving on to power plants and other industries.

This is all too much for Missouri's Ike Skelton and Minnesota's Collin Peterson, the Chairmen of the House Armed Services and Agriculture Committees, respectively. Along with Missouri Republican Jo Ann Emerson, they are pushing a two-page bill that would amend the Clean Air Act to restore Congress's original intent and strip CO2 and other greenhouse gases from the statutory language.

This is bipartisanship we can believe in. Such legislation would vaporize the EPA's "endangerment finding" for carbon and thus require the Administration to use democratic debate and persuasion if it really wants to reshape the energy markets and impose huge new costs on American consumers. What a thought.

"If Congress doesn't do something soon, the EPA is going to cram these regulations through all on their own," Mr. Peterson said. "I have no confidence that EPA can regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act without severe harm to all taxpayers."

Added Mr. Skelton: "Simply put, we cannot tolerate turning over the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions to unelected bureaucrats at EPA. America's energy and environmental policies should be set by Congress." Yes, they should be.

The Skelton-Peterson-Emerson bill follows a similar effort by North Dakota Democrat Earl Pomeroy, not to mention Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski's coming "disapproval resolution" in the Senate that has the support of Democrats Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln.

Our one caveat here is that Messrs. Skelton and Peterson are doing the right thing for the wrong reason—specifically, to defend the ethanol industry. Their bill includes provisions that would expand the definition of renewable fuels and make it easier for corn ethanol and soy biodiesel to qualify for federal tax credits. This is despite the growing shelf of studies that common crop-based fuels increase carbon emissions because of land-use changes and deforestation.

In any case, Ms. Jackson released final rules last week that would allow ethanol to maintain its mandate on the U.S. fuel supply, requiring her agency to back down from the more restrictive and supposedly science-based rules that it had proposed last year. Ms. Jackson insisted that EPA wasn't "dumbing down" its regulations, but her bow to the ethanol lobby revealed the death-grip it exerts on Congress.

Yet in the case of carbon regulation—an even dumber policy—we'll take what we can get. If the power of farm-state politicians ends up stopping the EPA's global-warming power grab, it would be the first good thing ethanol has done for the country.

No eco-hysteric or technophobe stands between a capitalist and his profit. Try it sometime. You won't be in employment for long.

As always Vogelzang, I am once again in awe of your ability to drive your relentless browser into the dirt and mine the electrifying stories of our times. It is fitting, that once again you have invested and made an absolute killing on your gleaned knowledge, and furthermore, that you have the decency and humanity to turn right around and shine the light of insider knowledge so that we might too, join in the financial plunder that wafts from your monster intellect like the sweet smell of funnel cakes gurgling in the boiling grease at a carnival. I wait in rapture, like those funnel cakes, for your next post to provide the generous sprinkle of powdered sugar that simply puts it all over the top.

In keeping with the carnival theme, I say, "give that man a kewpie doll", yes I know you are completely in touch with your inner kewpie doll, but I feel to be a kindred spirit, and I wish for you to have a companion.

Would you share if you are aware of any morel mushroom patches and where you hide your skittles the next time we are graced with a post?
