Americans are living longer than ever due in large part to advancements in science, but you wouldn’t know it from listening to the wailing and gnashing of teeth by environmental extremists. It seems that every day brings news of some substance that will maim, injure or bring about Armageddon. The latest target of these extremists is the antibacterial agent Triclosan, a substance used safely and effectively for decades by millions of Americans.

Now if they were smart they would declare Obama hazardous to our health. Atleast they would gain some crediblity.

If it’s safe and effective and makes it easier to survive, the grens will be against it. They want the lifespan to be what it was in the 1700’s, and anything that extends it is bad.

“Guess I better start stocking up on soap to go along with my many cases of 100 Watt lightbulbs...”

I overestimated my light bulb consumption and now have 50+ years worth. Not a big deal, I can hand them down or sell them if needed.

So far, I have my usual 4 to 5 years worth of every soap product that I can find, just for my Doomsday supply for when the dollar crashes (later this year). Dishwasher detergent has been especially interesting - I’m up to 12 years on that and the stuff that I have actually works...and very well.

So I shall watch soap, and, if needed, buy another several hundred bars. Not much else to do with my money anyway - saving it is STUPID as it will get killed by the triple-digit inflation associated with the dollar crash.

My thoughts exactly. What's next?

Liberals want to force everyone to live their ideals. Dirty, smelly people living in homes with no air conditioning, no toilets that flush right, bad CFL lighting and dirty silverware with which to eat tastless "organic" mush concocted by Michelle Antoinette. And forget about escaping by automobile.

No wonder liberals are such miserable people, if this is the life they WANT for themselves and their children. I'd say fine but they insist on forcing their misery on the rest of us!

Their lifestyles will continue in opulence based on huge money lawsuits. It’s us they want living like pigs in caves.

What’s next?”

Well I have a supply 100 watt lightbulbs, a huge supply of the old original Cheer powder, several cartons of oatmeal since they screwed with my original oats, 2 ply toilet tissue, canned chicken broth with salt and fat, a couple of cases of Cascade complete with additives that really clean the dishes without having to add anything and lots of microwave popcorn with butter - and I almost forgot lots of Captain Crunch.

Great list! I have a stockpile of a few of those too. All positively USEFUL things that liberals have ruined (what did they do to poor Captain Crunch?).

I’m also concerned about the new items they will decide to destroy. Flat screen TVs, batteries, more foods....I wish I felt more confident that the current House would stand against further tyranny, but to my knowledge they haven’t undone the banning of incandescents yet!

If they even think about messing with my coffee...

(what did they do to poor Captain Crunch?).

It is my understanding that it will no longer be sold because of the sugar content. Sure enough it was not on the shelves at my grocery store this weekend.

It does not appear to me that the new House will be any different than the old House. More talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. Looks like the only thing they are going to do with our coffee is keep charging more. Was up $3.00 this week over last for same size.
