The liberals' hatred of cars has always been a bit mystifying. I guess they hate the fact that someone can get in a car and go wherever they want with no permission from the government.
Lefties driving large SUVs and large trucks tell me that their main goal is to get everyone else off the road , onto a bus or train run by union thugs = taxpayer money all around, so that they get to zoom around empty highways and find easy parking spaces.
The environment, etc. is just a scam / tool to get their goal.
I seem to recall something about DuPont helping to launch the anti marijuana campaign because it did not want help competing with it’s new nylon, especially rope.
In the mid-Atlantic, there has been a lot of move to protest a Liquid Natural Gas exporting facility at Cove Point, MD. It seems to me that the big effort to stop that began right after Putin took over the Crimea and began the rebellion in the Ukraine with threats to cut off their fuel for the winter. The push was especially strong with certain very far left groups there, although they got a little distracted with Ferguson.
Meant to write HEMP not HELP.
Potheads love to invent history, part of their paranoia. Synthetic rope rolled in bigtime just before and during WWII because the natural fiber source was the Philippines, which was in Japan’s hands starting in the early ‘40s.
Do you know whether or not there was any move, talk to start planting hemp to make up for this loss due to Japan.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
been true since the ‘greens’ in Germany first started up....the reds have used them since day one
Hemp was grown in the US during WWII for the war effort.
Since asking about hemp growing for war effort, I ran across an article I had clipped from an old Kentucky newspaper which wrote that the Univ. of Kentucky was proceeding cautiously to see if they should promote hemp for agricultural purposes as a replacement for tobacco growing.
