great post!"

Why thank you, autoresponder, but Boot Hill deserves all the credit! He's done a fine job of hosting this thread. I just wish I had more time to participate by kabitzing from the sidelines.

This whole subject reminds me of that funny ol liberal tune that Frank Sinatra made famous about the fact that an ant can't move a rubbertree plant. It also talks about a ram can't butt down a dam. It includes a phrase that says "he keeps buttin that dam!"

Like all dreamy liberals, (including the author of the song - I think it was Sammy somebody) it ends up with the phrase (believing in the impossible as usual) "Oops, there goes another billion kilowatt dam!" (incredible, as usual)

Anyway, what got me started on all this was farmfriend pingin me to a thread where biblewonk jumped in with some farfetched claims about tilting at windmills, like Don Quiote, that was clear off the subject and I objected to the whole "I wanna believe the damnest stuff" non-science non-sense that keeps preaching to the "true believers" that flat goes completely against the laws of physics, economics and even nature!!!

It's hard to believe this crappola is creeping into FR like the incursion of GANG-GREEN into our society in general, but it is, sadly. It's all based on liberalism's other concept of "plausible lies" which goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, so I understand it's part of human nature to wanna believe, wanna be and wanna live in delusion. Oh well... enjoy the argument, for the sake of argument. (grin) (groan) (grimace)

a musical medley of myths

There have been a number of network TV shows explaining the high costs and maintenance costs of windmill farms.

They don't get erected for peanuts and there is that silly requirement that there also has to be that "wind thing" to be at the site.

The Greenies out in California got the wind power generators banned because they were slicing and dicing the little birdies.

The Kennedy Compound and ol' Walt Conkrite got them banned in the Atlantic as it was unsightly from their plush seaside homes.

You cannot put then mountaintops or skyscrapers because the libs and Enviro-Nutzies say the will be a blight upon our beautiful blue skies.

Now if we could just Monica Lewinsky to design a new "beanie spinner cap" for Mr. Bill and all the Greenies and libs and hook them all up to the grid.......
