Default Conservation in the home is meaningful, if you save money.

In my case, I may not be saving a ton of money, but just I like doing DIY stuff.
If it's easy and doesn't turn into a boring 'job', it kinda feels like a fun hobby to me.

I'm not the only person that's not overly worried about saving the earth..

I read a 'free sample' of a new book the other day..
Amazon.com: The New Leviathan: How the Left-Wing Money-Machine Shapes American Politics and Threatens America's Future eBook: Jacob Laksin, David Horowitz: Kindle Store
I was surprised and saddened to see exactly who finances America's 'Green' movement.

It's really not about them wanting to 'save the earth'.. Most of them just want power and money!!

Here's a link for more information:
Environmentalist - Discover the Networks


Check out this amazing map..
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/T...ord=greenpeace

It takes a few seconds to load, then click on the names with '$' dollar signs beside them,
to see where they get their money..

I didn't realize that working to reduce CO2 and working to reduce the senseless consumption of resources was part of a leftist-inspired plot to undermine america.

Never before in history has the destruction of a mighty empire been so sensible, comfortable and convenient.

Thank you for your valuable insight.

Is that a typo, or do you think of America as america?


There is a massive interconnected network of parties that seem to be
exchanging (laundering?) a LOT of money between each other.

I find it hard to believe they have so much money.
Kinda makes conservatives look like the 3rd world poor.

With that kind of money, comes total political power.
We will have exactly the kind of leftist government the people in the network are seeking.

So, it's pretty much settled.

Unless the money runs out.

I'm happy that you have discovered the world of unregulated banking. You're not so far behind the curve at all.

Now, if you can just understand the interlock between banking & corporations & government you might catch a glimpse of the real enemy.

You do understand that the world of banking & finance is responsible for the loss of nearly 40% of US worth since 2008, right?

That will definitely affect the future of your grandchildren... they are now in a hole they may never climb out of.

After the 2010 elections, I was hopeful things might change.
Now it seems like that was just a distant dream.

The left is going to use those billions, to crush millions of dreams..
It's something they feel has to be done.. For the greater good, and for power.

I read an interesting tidbit about that power today..

I was hoping things would change too, only I was hoping that the interests of the people (even you) would be given a higher priority than the interests of the elites that actually run this country.

We really don't have a country that is interested in the needs of the people. We have never really had a democracy, and never will... the constitution assures that. Don't take my word for it, go back and read the words of the founding fathers, they did not actually want anything beyond token democracy. It's all there in their own words. The constitution was brilliant, all right, it was a brilliant document to preserve the privilege of the wealthy ruling class... and why shouldn't it, it was wealthy elites that wrote it. They never wanted people like you to gain appreciable power, and you never will.

The super rich run this country, both parties.

Neither you, nor any of your descendants have any chance of rising into the ranks of the super rich. In fact, you will never have the chance of even meeting them, or even seeing where and how they live.

The politicians, both parties are not in charge, the super rich are. The politicians of both parties obey the wishes of the super rich. The reason for two parties is to preserve the illusion that the populace has a choice.

The dice are loaded, the deck is stacked.

Politically, your only hope is that in the future, you and your descendants will lose even more power that they already have.

That is the only dream that will actually come true.

* * *

My advice is to put your energies into your EcoRenovation projects, that is something that is actually useful to you.

All of your right-wing posts are a waste of space and everyone's energy... especially your own.

The way it looks to me, the left in America has been taken over by the super rich.
For whatever reason, they have billions to spend on their task.

Funders - Discover the Networks

Whereas the right has millions.. It's a sick joke. Very depressing.

I would like to get back on my projects, but I've been slowed way down with a very sore back..
It's been weeks, and it just won't go away!
So, I just sit around reading the news and getting more depressed.

Humm, maybe a beer will cheer me up..


Edit: ~~~~
Lucky for us that CO2 pollution is going down..
USA CO2 emissions may drop to 1990 levels this year
Otherwise it might get really hot this summer!

I vote for this being the best post in the thread. Could the OP make a poll?

Here's an idea! Maybe it ain't right/left, maybe it's super-rich versus everyone else?

The only thing I've seen is that legislators on both sides seem to cowed to set the clock back to the 50s in terms of the tax code. If it was good enough for the greatest generation, it's good enough for me.
