Want to contribute?

I have 100 dollars, so yes. I will have my cat pee on the bills first, however, in order to preserve them from falling apart in transit. (Cat pee will not prevent mail theft, however.)

Banning Freon?

HA HA! You believe that?

Look, I have the inside dope on Ozone.

1) The supposed ability of Freon to deplete the ozone factor relied on Freon being release in the atmosphere....only here's some problems with that that were insurmountable.

a) Freon is much heavier than air - how will it get to the upper atmosphere?
b) The chicken-littles went on to say it broke down to chlorine and that chlorine in the upper atmosphere was the real culprit
c) Chlorine gas IS lighter than air
d) Where does the MILLIIONS of tons of chlorine added to our water and swimming pools go?

The real reason for the chlorine ban is that DuPont's patent ran out, so the price collapsed to < 2$ a can (from 14$).

DuPont lobbyists proceeded to vilify Freon.

Turns out DuPont has the *replacement* for freon - for 25$ a can and it's patented.

Got the picture now?

Before my time, I really do regret not being scared to eat cranberries. I really do miss out sometimes.

Is cat pee dangerous? Are you threatening me? Do I need a lawyer?

I heard a story of a lady who cleaned our her refridge and got a fungus under her fingernails that killed her in two days... TWO DAYS do you HEAR ME! So now, I make my wife clean out the fridge.

Jimmy Carter’s FDA tried to completely ban saccharin, based on junk science. That was at a time when saccharin was the only zero calorie sweetener available in the USA.

Well I resent all the canned food and shotgun shells I have stored up in my garage. I don’t even like beanie weenie!

Are you threatening me?

My cat does not have HIV, if that's what you're asking. It does have the usual affinity for catnip, however.

That is SOOOOOO last century. Globull warming is all the rage now. Or maybe it’s globull cooling again. I forget.

Tim Robbens told us that “a chill wind was blowing” but that was before algore told him about globull warming.

Don't forget that the honey bees are dying.

Yep, Algore made the outrageous claim that the fir trees dying on top of Lookout Mountain in Tennessee was caused by acid rain when in truth the trees are infested with a parasitic bug of some sort.

BTW, the bugs are easily eradicated with pesticides but the terrain is so rough that the trees must be sprayed by helicopter.

I really can't remeber hearing anything about ozone depletion recently.

That was the scam between "global cooling" and "Africanized killer bees"... Or maybe it was the scam between "lead paint" and... No. "Lead paint" was one of the first scams. I lose track. Anyway, the big scam going now is "global warming" (now known as "climate change", so that it's more of a catch-all).

Follow the money.

By the way, did you know that all the big D.C. law firms have hired scores of "global warming" litigators in anticipation of big-time political payoffs?

Always follow the money.

I think cat pee is only dangerous if you are pregnant. Are you?
