Those hippies were just begging for a good tazering.

The free hugs video from South Korea is also pretty funny. The free hugs guy there also had security guards run him off.

"They" do not want people to hug. Hugging unites people. It unites strangers. A united people are not what "they" want. "They" want people to be isolated into small groups... manageable groups. "They" want to maintain fear and emptiness in society, so that people would spend more money on the wrong things in a vain and endless attempt to fill their emptiness.

Free hugs is a massive threat to "their" plans. Free hugs would change the face of society, and ruin all the progress that "they" have made so far.

I thank that man for his fight against the dying of the light.

It used to be for subscribers only (aside from a few select freebies) but they've just made their entire archives, back to 1992, free for everyone. There are lots of energy and environment articles. Like this classic eight years ago:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')merican civilization as we know it appeared to be in grave peril a quarter century ago. When Arab nations cut off oil shipments to the United States during the 1973 war in the Middle East, gasoline prices abruptly rose 40 percent and panic ensued. Motorists idled in long lines at gas stations, where creeping tensions led to fights and even occasional shootings. Automakers scrambled to retool their assembly lines to manufacture miserly compacts rather than gas-guzzling behemoths. Entrepreneurs poured millions into upstart solar-energy and wind-power companies. Politicians pontificated about the need for collective belt-tightening and offered income tax credits to homeowners for energy-saving insulation. Meanwhile, doomsday scenarios predicted ever-increasing shortages of fossil fuels and $100-a-barrel oil prices by the year 2000.

Surprise. Doomsday is nigh and oil has been selling at $10 to $15 a barrel, not $100. Adjusting for inflation, gasoline is cheaper today than it was before the Arab oil embargo. Indeed, the world seems to be awash in oil.

Why We'll Never Run Out of Oil

Also articles about coal, alternative energy, eating locally...and that turkey parts plant.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('The High Priest of Cornucopianism and some other asshole', '�')��People think of the Earth as having a certain amount of oil the way you might have a certain amount of money in your bank account,” adds Daniel Yergin, chairman of Cambridge Energy Research Associates, who wrote the The Prize, a history of oil, and The Commanding Heights, a study of market forces and the energy industry. “But in reality, the ultimate amount available to us is determined both by economics and technology.” So even though the United States has already spent more than half its domestic oil reserves on its energy-hungry economy, the gloom-and-doom predictions of the seventies were averted because of advances in oil technology and colossal new oil finds in West Africa, Colombia, and Russia. And Roger Anderson, director of the energy research center at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, expects the future will hold more of the same. “If you pay smart people enough money,” he says, “they’ll figure out all sorts of ways to get the oil you need.”

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'Y')ergin and Lynch were at it and the world was flush with stupidity.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'G')eologists have perfected seismic imaging of seafloor geology, with the hope of tapping into vast new oil fields like the one that lies beneath the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan. That region could harbor a staggering 200 billion barrels—making it one of the largest oil basins ever discovered. And drilling companies can now venture well over a mile into the seafloor. Unmanned submarines make the descent, fitted with robotic arms that guide the drill into the seafloor. The Gulf of Mexico could produce a total of 15 billion barrels, the coast of Brazil 30 billion, and the coast of Angola and elsewhere along West Africa another 30 billion—totaling some 75 billion barrels.

If I had heard that quality of playing, I'd have been stopped dead in my tracks. I'd have whipped out the cell phone and told my party I will be seriously late and told them why. Some in my family would probably have dropped what they were doing and high-tailed it over If they were within a few miles or so.
