Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Brown skin looks healthier for everybody. Let's face it: Caucasian skin is not beautiful - but gingers do look cool with their special skin color? ????? .......I must have missed all those Irish redheaded Beauties somewhere..... what a strange thing to say.....
Bird Dog, you are speaking for yourself there. I find pale skin to be beautiful. It isn't the only beautiful skin color. But it is beautiful in my eyes.
"Moonbats Bark That We Should Give Up AC"
"Wind power fails in Canada – a 23 year life span not likely to be replaced" If AC disappeared, most of the southern US would soon be depopulated and likely return to pre-1920s levels.+ How about living in a condo in Pheonix in mid-July without AC? In much the same vein, the reduction in affordable, dependable electrical power and associated heating during the winter here in Canada would effectively depopulate the country. There's a good reason most of the Canadian population hugs our southern border. But then, perhaps for the true zealots and believers, depopulation is actually the objective? + And I did not choose "pre-1920s levels" at random. It coincides almost precisely with the introduction of widespread and practical air-conditioning, the sine qua non for living comfortably in, say, Miami. As long as the moonbats do a 10-year test program, fully documented to prove they complied, first. THEN, I'll consider it.
You can get by with swamp coolers in dry climates - that's what our house had in El Paso in the '60s.
But in most of the South? There's a reason why life was 'slow' there - it was simply too much effort in the summers... "Caucasian skin is not beautiful"
Couldn't disagree more. Not when you are 80 perhaps but at 18 it is absolutely beautiful. "Wind power fails in Canada"
“TransAlta is very interested in repowering this site. Unfortunately, right now, it’s not economically feasible,” “We’re anxiously waiting to see what incentives might come from our new government. . ." Well, there it is. It is all about the subsidies. Exactamente! It's unsustainable. NO profit in it, without subsidies. I await the Gang of Z's "proof" that it is sustainable.
"Caucasian skin is not beautiful"
Is that racist? I'm pretty sure that's racist. "But stronger than natural might be better"
Not necessarily. Cartilage is part of a system. If it is too strong, the damage goes to another part of the system, such as the bones, when over stressed. Until we understand the whole system, it is best to follow nature's normal. You ever seen where a weightlifter has broken a bone by over development of one muscle group in relation to the underlying structure? "Moonbats Bark That We Should Give Up AC"
We should give up AC for the machines that serve up these stories on the web. People before web servers! "unwarranted domestic surveillance."
Once the feudal lords take away a liberty or freedom, it is seldom returned unless drenched in their blood. Those Americans who object to the U.S. can still send a cheque for 1000.00 or so to the UN Climate Green Fund.
To not do so would make you a hypocrite. If everyone in the U.S. who objects to Trump's decision did so, that would be a great deal of money. Also, if the world's climate is in such dire straits, then the 195 participant countries can pay the U.S. to dramatically reduce their carbon footprint. If this seems absurd, then why is it not absurd the other way around. The reduction of CO2 will be resolved through technology. I only wish that the billion dollars the U.S. already paid were instead invested in finding a reliable alternative to the combustible engine. Even James Hansen and other major Climate Alarmists did not support the Paris Climate Agreement. Claiming it would do little to solve the problem and was more focussed on wealth redistribution. That is why the new Chairman of the IPCC is Hoesung Lee's whose background is in "The Economics of Climate Change." They wanted an expert to help divvy up the funds! |
