Happy Hippie Awareness Day!
Alright, I’m back. I’m in the states. I had to stop writing for a little while just because of the workload and to ensure I didn’t write anything at all that might be even remotely risky. Too many responsibilities.
Now, let’s review:
When I left I know I was defending a constitutional republic. I got back and it was something else. What did you do to my country?
Next up, Earth Day and all its glory. Okay, I’m a conservationist. And a conservative. I love the idea that we can be environmentally conscious. I see limits on that and I see the environmental movement more interested in restraining progress an punishing people than I do preserving what we have that is good. I mean, think about wind energy. It’s effective. It’s not as effective as we would like but it has a great deal of potential, and a couple of turbines churning away on some Texas farmer’s property can make that family a great deal of money. So now we have to restrict those windfarms because some bats and birds are upset by the turbines.
When recycling a product costs significantly more energy and effort than replacing the product, we have to think about the net-sum impact.
However, I understand the whole purpose of Earth Day. We really need to come together as a planet. I know that there are many people who are against the idea of submitting the most successful, longest running, continuous, free republic in the modern world to the one-world government/order of the United Nations.
Short-sighted.
Only when we have put aside our disagreements with each other and submitted to a single voice will the aliens reveal themselves. Only then will they share their warp-drive technologies and cures for cancer. Only then will be allowed into the Federation of Planets.
Let’s move it along. I’m looking to get off this rock.
WELCOME HOME!
So, first things first…watch out for that conservationist talk…you’ll end up alienating the conservative party. They like less loud music and more servitude.
No…just kidding.
Sort of.
Seems that your aim is what I thought I was aiming at many years back. It does match, right?
Conservative. Theodore Roosevelt. Conservation…
and yet I find myself walking into hard, slamming doors all the time. It takes a fair amount of impoliteness to retain a true conservative stand, now-a-days.
And, just to make it worse…the teabaggers think they are a part of the conservative party.
Republicans, if you will. Or, as Bogs calls them, the Republican’ts. (It took me a while, but I found the word “Dumbocrats” just laying about, totally unused and looking for work)
More to the point, I seriously doubt if our affect on the planet is as overwhelming as is told us when it comes to Global Warming, which IS a true event. About the biggest thing mankind has created, however, are the two islands in the Pacific…(I wrote a small piece about it, about four or so articles down from the top at
http://maxwelldog.wordpress.com/)
…or, strangely enough, I came across the info by typing “islands of crap in the Pacific Ocean”…
No, really.
As for what happened to the country while you were gone…I gotta tell you, it is different, in a way.
The very top article explains my findings, and I really think this is something.
Although not really that popular.
Oh well.
It’s a terrible thing to lose one’s country.
But, we needed to dump the dictator and his following crew because they were on a course of destroying the nation under a mountain of debt by doing the same thing as the last administration.
Not saying Palin is hard to look at…well, actually she is.
But that business of shooting wolves from an airplane and putting a bounty on their heads was really way out there.
As for that “One World Order” crap, I sincerely doubt that is the aim. Partisanship, maybe, but even Obama knows that the bigger a thing is, the harder it falls.
If not, and this next is one of those suggestions that doesn’t seem to fly with the conservative party…Write to the White House.
No, really.
This guy that’s in began pulling down Bush junior’s curtains from day one.
Write to him ( you get 5000 words) he reads at least ten a day (good luck) and, in return…You get regular updates on everything the administration does (that isn’t classified, that is) and it’s good information.

Again, Welcome Home, guy!
If you want to yell at me or say “hi, how are you?” I’m at gator feeding tips (which reads like Time Flies Like an Arrow, Fruit Flies Like a Banana) or at either of the two First Farm and Weather Reports.
Any way I can help you, just ask.

Welcome home! We here on the left coast have whole wind farms standing silent and still because of the impact on the “bats and birds.” Then there is the whole argument against building the solar farm in the desert because it will impact the…was it groundhogs? I can’t remember, but it was some animal that was more important than the argument to relieve our dependence on fossil fuels, etc. *sigh* Makes my head explode.
Anyway….welcome home again, glad to hear from you again, enjoy being back in your house and your kitchen among friends and all your foods!
Happy day, you’re home! Yay!
Welcome home! I was wondering how you were just the other day.
When I lived in Texas construction plans for something that would have created a lot of jobs got stopped dead in its tracks because of a beetle. So stupid. I’m all for saving the planet but how about a little common sense along with it?
Common sense, isn’t.
Thinking of you much more often than I comment, or that you write here anymore. But often send a good thought that you’re staying safe while you tend to your wayward human flock, even though I think you’re probably usually in dangerous places.
Be well, my unlikely internet friend.
This is (about) the one year anniversary of that first really whacko fb note from you so I just thought I’d check in…Hope all is well with you. Life is good for me.
As above, be well, be happy and be peaceful my unlikely friend
…. you doin’ alright, big guy?…. drop me a line sometime….
You are missed.
