Carbon footprints only apply to you and me and people like us, WE are the ones that will be fined and taxed.
Sounds intimate alright :)
I thought the housing market was in the toilet. CNBC said it was.
Gonna leave a damn big carbon footprint.
Hey, I wonder if Brad is willing to let some of those folks in ‘Nawlins come for a visit...or, hell, he’s GOT 1,000 acres...maybe he can let some of them build on his land.
Holy cow, I just read your comment about the carbon footprint! LOL! Great minds think alike!
Wow-——I thought they cared so much about New Orleans? They could sure rebuild alot of homes in NO for $65 million.
November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience: "I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."

Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas: "We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right."
--Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971
From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

Jolie sees benefit in US surge in Iraq
2008-02-29
Actress and humanitarian activist Angelina Jolie said Thursday that the reinforcement of U.S. troops in Iraq has created an opportunity for humanitarian programs to boost assistance for Iraqi refugees.
In an op-ed piece published by the Washington Post, titled "A Reason to Stay in Iraq," Jolie details the plight of refugees and says their conditions have not improved since she visited the country last August to urge governments to provide more support.
Jolie, who has been a U.N. goodwill ambassador since 2001, was in Baghdad earlier this month to again highlight the refugee problem. She talked with Gen. David Petraeus, the American military commander in Iraq, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the U.S. Embassy said.
Petraeus "told me he would support new efforts to address the humanitarian crisis" as much as possible, "which leaves me hopeful that more progress can be made," the actress wrote.
She said she stressed to Iraqi officials there must be a coherent plan for helping some 2 million Iraqis who are taking advantage of the downturn in violence to begin trickling back to abandoned homes from havens elsewhere in the country. A similar number fled Iraq to escape the bloodshed.
"It will be quite a while before Iraq is ready to absorb more than 4 million refugees and displaced people," Jolie wrote. "But it is not too early to start working on solutions."
The actress, who works on behalf of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, urged America's presidential candidates and congressional leaders to step up financing for aid to displaced Iraqis. UNHCR has asked for $261 million this year — "less than the U.S. spends each day to fight the war in Iraq," she wrote.
Addressing the question of whether the "troop surge" has worked, Jolie said that "I can only state what I witnessed."
"When I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq," she wrote. "They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible."

Wonder what their carbon footprint will be....
Ought to make a great Islamic School when France finally succumbs to Sharia Law.
“Château Miraval - A brief history
Miraval, sited close to the Via Aurelia - one of the five main roads radiating from Rome - has always occupied an important place in history.
First settled by the Ligurians and then by the Celts, who were in their turn driven out by the advancing Romans, Miraval first appears on a map in the 1200s when it was a monastery and attached to the Pignans Monastery.
In 1252, it seems probable that St. Thomas Acquinas broke his journey here en route to the University of Paris from the University of Naples.
In the 1400s the Prince of Naples joined the French Court and settled at Miraval. This was when the Domaine first appears in the Register of Noble Houses.
The Estate was in the hands of the Orsini family for centuries and then, at the turn of the twentieth century, Miraval was home to the celebrated inventor of reinforced concrete - Joseph Lambot.
In the 1970s Jacques Loussier, the well-known jazz pianist, created one of the world’s foremost recording studios - Studio Miraval - where many great musicians including Pink Floyd, Sting, Sade and the Cranberries have all recorded their music in idyllic surroundings.”
Looks like a vineyard —upper R corner.
seems lovely. I’m jealous already, lol.
Good for them. Hope they aren’t too stupid and advocating liberalism, but good for them.
No, it isn't.
I hope when things go bad and the Muslims are turning Europe into the 13th century that these two continue to hold out in France.
You know the French have the Maginot Line to defend themselves err..sorry that was World War Two.
Dumb to buy right now. They should have waited a few years when the dollar was at parity, and Euro real estate cooled off.
Looks like a “working” property. Vineyard, farming, forest; lots to eat up carbon growing around there.
