Carbon "Foot-Print"
Last night I met a man from Seattle, who claimed to be some kind of engineer. After conversing whith him, I related my feeling of "Seattleites", in which I say that Seattle is the "Pansy-ass" capital. I was right, in that coming from Seattle, he said that he welcomed "Global Warming" as it has been cold in the state of Washington. (It never fails to amaze me how ignorant are people.) After explaining my stride to stop the demolition of the world, I mentioned the situation that I am just a nobody. I related to the millionaire, ex- vice president of the United States who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, he then scoffed. I then asked him if he believed in what Mr. Gore proposed. He then went on to tell me how much "Energy" that Gore wastes. He adamantly commented the rumor that Gore bought and used "Carbon Credits" to offset his use of "Energy" (the oxidation of fossil fuels)! Carbon Credits are so called as they are used to "side-step" the pollution laws. A factory or businesses are allowed to expel so much "Carbon" in the atmosphere. If a company dose not use all the "credits", (due to losing money or just "breaking even", can sell those credits to a firm that is emitting more pollutants that is allowed)! (It seems that the money controlled news media has done a good job of smearing anyone who speaks the truth)! "Did you see the movie", I asked, "no" was the reply. In my life time, I still can't believe that people make comments and decisions on things to which they are not aware! The next story is about innocent ignorance. Whilst I was engaged n conversing whith the gentleman, (I use the word loosely), two beautiful young ladies sat next to me. The prettiest one was next to me and was anxious to have conversation. On the subject of "Green", I explained to both man and lady that the phrase "Green" was just a news media brainwashing term. The damsel and I started exchanging thoughts and stories on the environment. She explained how she stopped driving and rode a bicycle to work. I said that I did not have a bicycle, but I did do a lot of walking. (I recently bought another house about 15 blocks away. I live in both and sometimes will walk back in forth to one or the other). Also my car is about 5 year's old whith less than 15,000 miles. That leads me to explain the carbon "Foot-Print". I asked her if she really knew what the term meant. She admitted that, indeed, sure she was not. Carbon "Foot-Print". But first- All "Fossil" fuel, along whith
