Cohousing Can Help Reduce Global Warming (Bolshivick Balderdash!)

Well, we share a basketball hoop with our neighbors at the end of our cul de sac. Does that count as co-housing? Who would have guessed that we’re a gaia-friendly green family. Think I’ll turn the air conditioning down to 68 to celebrate!

There is much discussion about switching to compact fluorescent bulbs and hybrid automobiles. These changes will help

No, they won't. They will have absolutely no effect whatever, as far as global warming goes. Why do people believe this crap?

[Marysecretary]

YES, actually, they are.

Watch out for the condo Nazis!

LOL, my family owns a condo on Maui, and we call the rental people the Condo Nazis because they're always controlling what you can and can't do; what you can and can't bring/do in the pool (spitting water is illegal, snorkel masks aren't allowed), what your kitchen cabinets should look like, whether you can smoke in your room (if you own it it's your property, you can smoke if you want if you don't let it bother others), you can't park anywhere, you have your own assigned spot, etc...stuff like that. I joked that their motto was "Today the parking lot, tomorrow the pool!" Oh yeah, and they used to fly Canada's flag next to the US's and Hawaii's since lots of Canadians visited, but they replaced it with the UN flag.

Man these people are even in Hawaii! They have to ruin everything, don't they?

Only the carbon-dependent part.

I have an old email from a Sierra Club staffer. Their leadership lives as well as Al Gore. They like the contributions from the enviro-suckers.

Where in the hell will I park my Kubota tractor, my SUV, and my motorcycle. And don’t even get me started on the ATV or the jet ski.

Hey, did you find that pic of John Edwards’ house using Google images? I can’t seem to find it there.

I tried Google buy I couldn't find it there either. I knew I had seen more than enough pictures of it here at FR, so I just searched for articles on "Edwards mansion" and found a good picture on one of those articles.

Ah. I wonder whether Google has purged that pic from their Google Images search index. If so, wouldn't that be interesting? I found the pic easily using mamma.com.

If you (or anybody else reading this) finds a link to a photo of John Edwards' house using Google Images directly, I'd like to hear about it. (It is possible to find the pic using a regular Google search that leads to blogs that happen to have the pic posted, but that's not what I'm wondering about.)

That sounds like the high school they built several years ago in Victorville. All that’s missing are the guard towers. Talk about demoralizing, it’s even built out of gray concrete :(

I believe those are called “compounds”. The Branch dividians tried it at Waco, but it did not work out too well.

Years ago one of their presidents came out and stated that “our ultimate goal is to eliminate all humans west of the Rockies”.

Sounds like it came directly from Tom Clancey's "Rainbow-Six."

They’ll want to have us all driving Isetta’s.
