SNOWED BY AN INCONVENIENT ALGORERYTHYM

Every time I wash my car it rains!
Every time Al Gore says "Global Warming" it gets colder.
It is an inconvenient truth.

See if you can guess what this is:
dot dot--dot-----dot--------dot-dot-dooooooooooot-d-o-t-
Its an example of an Al Gore Rhythm.

Timing is everything in a real good propaganda campaign and Al just can't catch a break. It is colder and more snowy this Christmas Day in the Pacific Northwest than it has ever been in written records! We have some 20 inches of snow here in the West Hills of Portland.

I have been an environmentalist since before I knew how to spell it. I never throw away usable items. I do not buy a new car every 3 years. I plan where I am going before I leave to save gas. When I am down on my knees praying for better times I also look under the bed for dust bunnies and lost socks. I save energy everywhere I can.

I guess you could say I'm lazy with an understanding of the great benefit to mother nature for being so. It is an attitude developed by being the son of South Dakota farm folks who lived through the Great Depression. I just naturally got a good working knowledge of such things. Grandma always made her own ketchup and canned everything from the garden for winter. I do what I can.

Now I've learned that the Earth has about 186 billion tons of CO2 rising from it's surface every year according to guys who sit around getting paid to know these things. They figure about 90 billion comes from biological activity and another 90 billion from plant decay and volcanic action leaving about 6 billion say 3% from human beings.

Al Gore has done a wonderful job of making us aware of how we could be smarter at how we go about living our lives. But, what about the potential downside of doing it through first class lying?

We needed to be made aware of how every plant and animal on this planet is interactive with one another. George Harrison reminded us that "The time would come when we see we're all one and life flows on within in you and with out you".
The thing I am scared of is what happens when we all get just barely educated enough by Al Gore's propaganda to start doing a better job at being good humans then learning Al has exaggerated the points of inconvenient truth way out of proportion.

I think the truth alone is very convenient enough. We no longer throw our trash out our car windows like we did here in Oregon when I was young. How come do you think? It dawned on us it was stupid. Since we all live here together why not practise a little common sense and stewardship?

Below is some strategy Al Gore has developed so he can start his energy credit business and I suppose an alternate business during winter time selling indulgences when it is kind of hard to sell "global warming". Interview lines from a guy at Grist magazine and Al Gore.

"I think the answer to that depends on where your audience's head is. In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.
Over time that mix will change. As the country comes to more accept the reality of the crisis, there's going to be much more receptivity to a full-blown discussion of the solutions."


Here is another guy who thinks lying might work better than offering a convenient truth.

"We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."
Stephen Schneider (leading advocate of the global warming theory)(in interview for Discover magazine, Oct 1989)


Here is a guy that agrees with me. Why lie when the truth about this stuff ought to do.

"In the long run, the replacement of the precise and disciplined language of science by the misleading language of litigation and advocacy may be one of the more important sources of damage to society incurred in the current debate over global warming."
Dr. Richard S. Lindzen(leading climate and atmospheric science expert- MIT) (3)

I am all for planting more trees. Taking better care of our planet. Using to the fullest the products we produce. Make the highest use from God given natural resources.
Shame on me, when I was young for selling parts of Redwood trees to make decks and siding . The Japanese and Chinese make wonderful little figures and musical instruments and things with Redwood and get high dollars for them too. All these common sense truths would also conveniently help lower that 3% of the carbon dioxide we add to the worlds CO2 totals.

Of course don't expect this effort to change the tilt of the Earth to the Sun or make Mars and Venus' poles quit melting as the universe makes its little shifts in it's celestial path.

Above all, remember to use the tools God gave us all. Common sense and an innate knowledge of what is right comes natural when you take to looking inward.


Write to Barrack Obama and be sure that governemnt applies the truth for a "change".

TOO MANY NUTS NOT ENOUGH DOUGH

CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPE FOR OUR NATIONAL ECONOMY



When aggregate power has become too pervasive and abundant you can't keep your economic cookies from crumbling!
We have way too many nuts making cookies and there is not enough dough to hold it all together.

You can not fix a failed cookie recipe by making a bigger batch!

Loaning money to a system that does not have the right mix can not produce a different result! All you get is just a bigger batch of bad cookies.

The government wants us to loan our money to guys who have proved they do not know how to run their operations successfully. It does not even insist that they consider a different recipe . The best thing they have offered as a way of changing their operations so far is they won't fly around in big airplanes as much!

We know ,the only thing for sure is that we lose along with them, by loaning public money which means each and every dollar anywhere in your Grandmothers sock to your fancy smancy cash/bond broker accounts will lose value due to the increased inflation we suffer by dilution of the money value; IE: not enough dough
so to speak!

I'm not just talking about the auto industry alone; it is the whole cookie jar kids!
We have Bear Stearn's, AIG, Lehman Bros ,Washington Mutual, Fannie May, Freddie Mac , Indy Mac, maybe even Big Mac as far as I know, all going insolvent. All hooked together in this regulated publically owned government run, capitalist socialized partially vested collective.

The number one most wonderful thing about free market system is when things don't work they fail, and things that do work, keep going on working to provide vital service to the consumer.
The number two wonderful thing about free enterprise is everybody gets to decide. Yes, there are laws to follow. The government maintains the mixing bowl but keeps it's hands out of the cookie jar.

We are being told that they can't fail because they are too big.
Well they have failed and they continue to fail us consumers.

If I have to invest my governments fortune in an auto company why not make it a million dollars at a time to these new little outfits building these great electric and alternate energy cars. Give them a million and then another million when progress is demonstrated and make them pay back the money out of their successes.
I'd just spend maybe 20 million dollars instead of 500 billion for a demonstrable Obama Change.

I love Ford pickup trucks. I have owned one or another all my life. Ford makes a good pickup. All the rest of the automobiles in my little fleet are made by foreign manufactures.
Thanks to the free market system and private enterprise I buy my vehicles from people who do not operate under rules imposed by the AFL-CIO and idiot mid management teams. If I was Ford I would find out if I could make a living just selling the "most successful selling pick up in America." I would sell the rest of my asset infrastructure to another outfit who could re-tool and build some real fine electric cars, or tractors, or some other contraption that everybody on the planet just has to have.
I would not help put the whole world in economic jeopardy because some 3 million people have tried to convince me and my congressmen they are too incompetent to get jobs in winning successful operations!

Why then are we loaning money to these failing outfits? Does not Congress have enough to do without deciding what kind of an automobile I want to buy. I'll bet you they are going to try to tell me what kind of products I want with the rationalization that they have the best interests of the public in mind since the public is invested in the company producing the product. Wait and see. Oh wait just a minute, thats what too many people do now, just wait and see. Government wants the increased power that comes with the regulation of this industry. They have colluded with them for so long one can hardly see daylight between the government and the company anyway.

Do not be one convinced that this collapse of the system is due to a inate flaw in the basics of a free market system.

This is NOT free marketing. We, that is, everybody allowing this to continue, and me too incidently being draged along are promoting a central planning system, that only a few get to participate in. Freedom of commerce is what will correct our cookies. Sell the infrastructure to someone who can run it successfully Those people can learn to work for a new outfit for Gods sake. Break a few eggs. Make a good cookie


Government operated central planning of commerce --------------------------------DOES NOT WORK!

READ A BOOK ABOUT ANY SOCIALISTIC GOVERNMENT------------- IT DOES NOT WORK!


This little missive has once again been brought to you by GENERAL CHOW Why not place a twelve pack of this very fine product under the tree this Christmas. Make stocking stuffers out of our back packing light weight "green" product.

Old Chinese proverb "You can not borrow your way out of a fix----------------------without making changes to your product mix"

Trust me I have tried it myself and it does not work! "General Chow"

Obama promises a change. Now would be a real good time to start. Get real. Start cooking.
