I was mostly responding to all the foolish remarks about banning traffic, air travel, etc.

Do they have any toll roads up there? Let see how fast they tear those down to “save the palnet”. Seems in MA where “Free Range Moonbats” (moonbats that are able to do anything they want because there are NO conservatives to reign them in) are everywhere, they will support any measure to reduce CO2 except taking tolls down. That is “for the children” so they can not be touched!

I made mine in jest...of course you can’t ban rush hour. I was merely demonstrating the idiocy of banning people going through a drive-thru compared to the tens of millions of cars that sit idling every day during rush hour in every major city in the world.

Yes, history repeats itself and I think we are about to repeat the Soviet Union's founding with a Marxist as president and a Marxist controlled congress.

of course you can’t ban rush hour.

Don't be so sure. Off the top of my head, here's a piece of legislation that would effectively do that. You'd have to clean up the language some, but here goes:

1. Any business located in a metropolitian statistical area greater than one million persons must register with the Secretary of the Department of Green Earth.

2. The Secretary of the Department of Green Earth shall include the names of all businesses on a central register and shall, by random assignment, distribute to each business an approved Start of Business Time, not to fall outside the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

3. Each business shall begin its business day at its assigned Start of Business Time and its business day shall last no greater than eight (8) hours.

4. Any business failing to comply with this section shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 per violation and shall face imprisonment not more than ten (10) years.

I think it would be a good idea if there were no drive-ins, but I agree that banning them is the wrong way to go about it. Unfortunately, if it will generate more revenue, then no business would stop it, regardless if it was a good idea or not.

I used to have a ton of 80's GI Joe somewhere around the house. Right now I am more interested in better photos and video which is what I enjoy way more that computers. However, I was at a career crossroads and had to change.

I have made a few in roads in peddling some stock video footage. I am adding content to my stock galleries where I get lots of looks, hopefully bites will follow someday. Something else I did is become of onemodelplace.com. I have had the good fortune to work with a couple of semi-pro models and have some possibilities with a pro or two coming as well as some aspiring amatuers who may have possiblities. The nice thing about OMP is there is a sort of rating system that helps filter out problem children.

In my old job in enlightened public television, I had these two control freaks phb's who had ruined their own lives and not being content, wanted to know every detail of everyone else's existence, comment on it, and offer their "ideas" on improvements.

They could not stand anyone knowing more than they did. In a lot of respects, the average person on the street does. Since I had no prospects of ever being promoted out (like all of the rest of the working class), I subscribed to every free techincal, IT, AV, and vendor catalog I could. I had a stack of mail typically 2 feet high. I encouraged the other serfs to help themselves to any of them.

Lets just change item 2 to read:

2. The Secretary of the Department of Green Earth shall include the names of all businesses on a central register and shall, by random assignment, distribute to each business an approved employee who lives within walking distance or has access to mass transit.

Madison in the 50s was the best place to live and raise a family.

Madison in the late 60s was the place for wellfare and the magnet of the poor from the south.

Madison in today is the poster child for the results of socialism and the fascist education system.

“I think it would be a good idea if there were no drive-ins”

Why? Do you believe man is causing global warming?

“”Given the concern about all the carbon going into the atmosphere", it is time to restrict automobile ownership to Party members.

Think of how much that will reduce global warming.

gosh—i love drive-thrus... i’d rather drive a couple of miles out of the way to go to a drive-thru than hit a closer fast food place without a drive-thru... the only drive-thru i avoid is In-n-Out... their food is so much better eaten in their white and red restaurant...
