I Owe It All To John D'Oh
|
It's not a thin skin, JB. I thought I'd made it clear. I can dish the insults right back at IT. However, many people here are turned off by it, and, frankly, even I find the insult-fests a little tiresome. I spent many months ignoring IT. We eventually reached a rapprochement where we basically agreed to be civil to each other. IT wasn't being civil. If I responded in kind, the thread would have headed downhill. It's my impression that most people around here don't want that sort of thing to happen. So, I am pointing out his trangression, in the context of attempting to be respectful to those who prefer not to watch the flame wars, and in the context of what I thought was an agreement not to behave that way any more. |

I would not have even taken umbrage at such a comment but if you felt insulted who am I to say.

That can be bad too, y'know, depending. Lot of counties have no-burn laws. |

Just Kidding Our city started a mulch system a few years ago. All yard waste in the city goes into this huge compost pile and when it is ready citizens can come back and get it to use. What isn't used is sold to farmers. lb |

Well, not necessarily. You can burn 'em, but the sulfurous ash is considered a point source, so you need to buy air permits and carbon credits in order to do so. |

Not really. Permits and cap-and-trade programs are being supported by industry. It was really their push for that, rather than a flat cap, which is what the enviro-hippies wanted. |

For our size, the city is pretty damn green, and have been before it was fashionable. We were one of the first towns in the country to have a municiple sponserd curbside pickup recycling program. I was the chairman of the committee that organized it. This reduced the landfill waste by incredible tons per year. Once it was up and running we mentor'd other small communities to help them set up similar programs. lb |

What name calling? I am discussing ideas. Did you argue against the point? No. Why not? Either you could or you could not. Since you *did not*, I have to assume that it was a throw away comment intending to call me out on hypocrisy. However, you did not make any case for that. Either than or my point hit too close to the bone, and you reacted by trying to go after me rather than the point I was making. Look Quirt, its OK if you want to make hit and run snarky comments that have absolutely no substance behind them, but if you do don't be surprised that you are called out on the lack of substance. If you don't want an ugly fest, don't start them. I'm not interesting in them either, and I think my response above shows a good deal of restraint. I never said you incapable of arguing, I was getting to the idea that you seemed incapable of arguing *against the point that I was making*. Pax? |

AL, Agriculture chemicals are screwing up our water system many times worse than CO2 is affecting the air. The increased use of crops for Ethanol is going to accelerate the chemical problem. Chesapeake Bay is almost dead it the primary reason is agriculture chemicals. If a farmer practices crop rotation the need for chemicals is reduced. When they stop rotating crops to produce an ethanol crop every year the chemical use will increase greatly. lb |
