As is clear from my member profile, I live in Florida but so what? I have lived in California and I pay attention to the news! Examples of the use of environmental effects to stop projects abound in the news. Solar power in the Mojave, Topaz Solar Farm and Off-shore Drilling in California. I can find others but have I made my point?
Yea, well I don’t know where you were when American history was taught but America was built on “dreams” and if you “think” FL is much better off than CA; you have another thought coming.
While you ran off to FL, we have remained here to fight.
And I just made my “point” LMAO
“As is clear from my member profile, I live in Florida”
Please tell us all where in your profile it states that you “live in Florida?” LOL
“I’m a semi-moderate Conservative with a libertarian streak but I refuse to be pigeon-holed. I was the sole WASP student who helped found the Black Studies course at Beaufort HS in SC. [It was ‘taught’ by pre-famous writer, Pat Conroy]. I have a strong science interest and proudly say that I like reading good Science Fiction like Heinlein, Bruce Sterling, David Weber and many others.
I am a computer programmer doing Java consulting and I am a strong amateur historian. I am perhaps proudest of being a 57+ gallon Blood Donor [11/13/01] (thanks to pheresis donations). Now 62+ gals (09/13/02), 73g (07/30/05), 76+g (02/04/06), 80+ (12/30/06).[Blood Bank recalculated and put me at 106+gals in 2007] As of 2009, I have been denied pheresis donations as my arms can no longer stand the strain so now the count will only grow by standard whole blood donations (113+gallons).
As an Army brat, I was raised in several countries and came to see ‘Zone Interior’ as a special country. There are several things that I love; “High Flight”-Magee, Robert A Heinlein, Rudyard Kipling, “Oh Captain, My Captain”-Whitman, Babylon 5, Shelby Foote and the Freeper “Word For The Day”.
Keep your sorry ass in Florida!
