Wow Jackal - Revel must be in DEEP cover if he’s been pitching hippie causes here since 1998...;)

Well perhaps I was a bit quick on the trigger, but since moving to the left coast all I hear from the hippies in Portlandia is don't drill, no wind farms, no hydro, no nuke, and on and on. Plus it is Friday afternoon.

It is sicking how one gets attacked around here if they are not a neocon of some type. I don’t follow the norm just so that life will be easy. And I am not fond of things that are irrational. For instance I thought Global warming was a scam long before climategate. I saw the Rino neocons coming in the very beginning. Neocons don’t allow any thought that is different from theirs. They are just like the liberals. Decent is not tolerated. No matter what the facts. Name calling is how they try to win. I look at the benefits and risks of nuclear power. And I have decided that it is a bigger Risk than is worth wild.
Admittedly I have a spiritual side as well. And that does play into what I think. As I look not only to my own life, but at the life of those to come. But I try to do that rationally. Sadly that makes me a hippie in the minds of many here.
