		<description>Linda,

I mean this in the most flattering way.  You make me miss my Grandmother!  She was decades older(94)than you of course but just as able to cut to the chase.  Keep writing.

		<description>Patriots, fun read a bit over the top I would think that the new government would form under such circumstances around Ft. Knox, assuming the  gold there is real, with a ready access to an army stationed there,or maybe they come to Colorado Springs at Cheyene Mtn. and Ft Carson military base,another good read of concerning the colapse is Kunstlers World Made by Hand, again fun read and idealistic, made me think I was reading a Steven King horror novel.

Let&#039;s see  AMA, Food and Drug, Pharmaceutical companies,and the health industry. What ever happened to &quot;an Apple a day&quot;, why do we only treat sypmtoms and not causes? No money in cures, and where will the reasearch money come from once the health care is naturalized, oh I forgot the goverment has a printing press and I for one will be a bit uncomfortable with a Government Neurosurgeon,they just won&#039;t have the same incentive as a private practitioner, sorry Obama we lost another one, Oh well, what times our tee time?

Malthus was probably right, he just didn&#039;t know the future and was a bit before his time. It seems to me that the world has it&#039;s priorities all mixed up.  How long do you think it will be before all the rain forest in Brazil are gone now that the Chinese have obtained a taste for Big Mac&#039;s and fries. If people think there is a CO2 problem now wait until the forrest are gone. And once that forrest is gone we won&#039;t need research in medicine we will have destroyed all thats left of natures secrets. Who cares about ozone layers, ethanol, DDT, etc at that point.

It is just beyound me to figure out how the health system improves by just insuring more people at the expense of the people, and I still cannot figure out how you reduce co2 levels and control &quot;global worming with Crap and Tax, and carbon credits that Wall Street can trade and develop new forms of deriviatives. Wall streeters should be giddy with the proposed opportunity of a new product they can screw each other with and once again suck the life out of the working people of America as well as the world.

And by the way, how come we cannot get anyone in Congress at least try to form and energy policy for this country, rather than trying to save the world, protect their jobs, and enable the poor, or is that the liberal policy to educate our young so they can solve the problem.
Not a good plan.  Those that want to be educated will be, those that don&#039;t won&#039;t. I think they are working the wrong end of the spectrum, you would have to educate the parents before you can educate the children. 

Sorry Linda I am rambling, but I havn&#039;t written much over the last 25 years and lots of generalized thoughts without alot of base factual material, just opinion.</description>

		<description>Linda,
My bad.  I  typed nitrous when I was thinking nitric.  Nitric oxide has one nitrogen and one oxygen.  Nitrous has 2 nitrogens and one oxygen.  Nitrous is the same stuff that is used by dentists and in cars and rocket engines (purity is the main difference.)  Nitric is what happens when internal combustion engines burn lean.  A leaner burn is also more fuel efficient.  That&#039;s what made the honda engines so interesting.</description>

		<description>Ooooh, Kevin!  You smart, knowledgeable guy.  We LIKE that around here.  Chuckle...isn&#039;t NO that stuff the kids have in cylinders that give their vehicles a sudden burst?  Or is it what dentists used to use, or both?  Our passion around here is older automotive masterpieces we can work on ourselves.  Charles is mad for Jeeps, Anglias, and his 1950s Studebaker President.  I collect vintage Jaguars and stray luxury cars...we&#039;ve got a Daimler, for example, and some old diesel Mercedes...and we&#039;re both nutty about odd bits of machinery, such as the bucket truck and the back hoe.  It is absolutely amazing the things you can find on Craig&#039;s List priced very moderately these days.  We&#039;re changing over to diesel wherever possible for cars, trucks, and tractors.  So...hold forth, please, on whatever you know best that you think we&#039;d find interesting!  Linda</description>

		<description>For fun on ozone look up it&#039;s half life in atmosphere which is about 30 minutes or so.  Ozone is generated by UV radiation hitting the upper atmosphere.  The reason there is a hole over the poles every year (and it alternates which pole) is the fact that the sun doesn&#039;t shine directly on it for several months which is also why they have darkness.  
Lead in gasoline was slowly going away on it&#039;s own as advances in metallurgy allowed for hotter combustion.  Hotter combustion also typically allows internal combustion engines to be more efficient, but then Nitrous oxides became an issue.  This is why a modern american car which is fuel injected will have a lean cycle followed by a rich cycle for every other firing in a cylinder.  This allows them to control the emissions.  Honda invented a hotter cleaner burning engine with a different catalytic converter that interestingly enough was only allowed into the US in their hybrid the insight.</description>

		<description>Hi, Bart, and thanks for writing.  You&#039;re probably not old enough to know about such things, and don&#039;t get me started on why phosphates in the detergent were a GOOD thing in addition to keeping clothes white.

I don&#039;t know yet how I feel about the Divine Sarah because I haven&#039;t read her book or listened to her speeches, being too busy keeping up on other fronts so that I can write articles and handle my great correspondence--like yours.  I don&#039;t see how anything much could be worse than the last four presidents we&#039;ve suffered under.

If you want to scare the living whey out of yourself get Rawles &quot;Patriot.&quot;  What bothers me is that the &quot;survivalist&quot; group is ten strong and worked on their hideaway for 9 years &quot;pre-position&quot; supplies each purchased...and half way through the book they still haven&#039;t contemplated how pleasant it would be to have a milk cow and some chickens!  They haven&#039;t planted so much as a radish in about a year, although they have defensive systems set up that are certainly beyond anything that crossed my mind in my wildest nightmares.  Are they just going to sit there until the food and ammo runs out?  I don&#039;t know; MDC is finishing the book while I update my mail, and the clock will strike one a.m. soon.

Watch W&amp;G for two upcoming articles on why city folks can&#039;t just saunter out into the country and expect to find a garden of Eden before the snake showed up.  Regards, Linda</description>

		<description>Interesting.

I&#039;m familiar with the truth behind many of your arguments, but this is the first defense of leaded gasoline, DDT or freon I&#039;ve ever read.  I don&#039;t know whether to call you a conspiracy nut or if I should conduct my own research to find the truth behind your statements.  Can you provide evidence to support your assertions?  If so, I&#039;d love to read it.  

Oh, and I&#039;ve known those &quot;longer lasting&quot; compact florescent bulbs were a scam from the day the greenies started pushing them so hard while completely overlooking the fact that they&#039;re loaded with heavy metals.  Since when did dumping mercury into landfills become green?  Also, in my experience, they actually have had about a third the life of a good old fashioned light bulb.  And I&#039;m not supposed to throw the stupid things in the trash.  Great.  What now?

Where do you stand on Sarah Palin?  I don&#039;t know if she is just parroting things she&#039;s told or if she really is a right-thinking (not politicially &quot;right,&quot; but &quot;right&quot; as in thinking things that are logical and true) politician or just another figurehead being shopped out to those of us who really are hungry for &quot;change&quot; that actually comes with truth and accountability attached (the polar opposite of what we have received with BHO).</description>
