Somebody has to control them...they surely cannot control themselves...

Only we called them "Beetle Boots"! Ya Ya Ya...
We should check our privilege...

There are simple engineering solutions to proper distribution of water. The problem is usually politics. Since moving to Oklahoma, I've been extremely impressed that the state took aggressive action to manage water resources, taking the dust bowl years to heart. The solution isn't complex, just adequate reservoir capacity and smart use of canals and pipelines to deliver water where and when needed. Contrast this with California's foolish waste of their plentiful water resources, diverting billions of gallons from farmland where water is scarce, only to dump it into the ocean to supposedly protect a local baitfish which has plentiful habitat elsewhere.

Bwaa, ha ha! Haven't seen that reference in decades. Had a pair in the '60s!

Had to +1 this!

It all boils down to pledge #6. The other pledges elicit guilt and #6 is supplied to assuage that guilt. That tactic is centuries old. Don't remember the name of the movie, but when I see this stuff I recall a scene spoofing a TV preacher while the collection plate is being passed: "God knows the depths of a mans heart and God knows the depths of a mans pockets. So dig deep into those pockets and give to the Lord... Give to the Lord... Give to the Lord... quiet money only, please, I'm allergic to the noisy kind".

Hmmm, they're running a contest where the give away is a GoPro. Are they not aware of the level of tech and industrialization that was required to finally produce a product like GoPro? Ha! If these people have their way, you'd have to feel guilty just owning one.

I'm a little concerned that the elephant in the room is not being addressed. What you are all missing in their stupid rhetoric is....they have a vision not only of exactly what they want but how to get it and, sadly we don't. I hear the same kind of clap trap below when I do work on the "other side" in tandem with our principles. It is obviously stuff said by people who never cross the political line in a friendly and helpful manner, extending the olive branch of "let's see if we can work this out together" Koom-by-yah. Folks, reality check. If you aren't out there talking to folks on the other side, they will bury you with their energy, their efforts, organization and dogged determination to get their goals and visions fulfilled.

While we......what exactly do we ever DO or VISION and share with anybody?

SUNDAY Aug 6th here in Portland O. Joey Gibson has organized another walk/rally/gathering at 2pm at the Salmon Fountain on the waterfront. Come help us restart Re3VOLution...you remember 2008 don't you?

I got 17.8 earths.
Sadly, it would not let me add in how much fuel I actually use. It limited me to a mere 75 gallons a week when I actually use a rough average of 175 gallons a week.

Sounds like an expensive rabbit stew.LOL

Thanks OUC,
We just keep getting these pompass kakistocrats like Gore who are the worst.......... oh (wait I repeat myself) shoved down our throat by a media that is
CIA dominated all for their control.

Anti industrial earth first hypocrites hate mankinds progress.

Got just the thing for ya! For ONLY $999 you can a shotgun sound suppressor.

EXTRA, EXTRA...Read all about it: Gore Uses 7 Times More Energy to Heat His Pool Than American Home Uses in Year! Needs 12 more earths to make it through the year.

I do my part by being a second hand vegetarian. Cows eat grass and I eat cows removing the need for the cowboy this idiot is worried about.
All the renewable resources these guys talk about require massive amounts of subsidy in order not to go broke, or as in the case of Solyndra get massive subsidies and go broke anyway with the managers retiring wealthy and the slave labor (taxpayers) have less to live on. The subsidies indicate that none of the 'renewable' resources really work and the only way to keep them going is to produce more co2 by the payers who go to work to pay those looters to produce something from the Scientific Institute that doesn't work, killing the earth even faster. If all the socialists in the world and environmentalists in the world offered to get off to save the planet it would be a very quiet place with very little resource requirement. Unfortunately they want only those who are free thinkers and workers to get off. When he says we 'must' work together what he means is I want the right to use violence to control all those I do not agree with.

+1 Thanks ReneeDaphne very funny. Karma Neutral was priceless .....so to speak.

Sheesh , for a moment I thought you meant http://www.hellopucky.com/about/.
The fact that socialist countries like Venezuala and N. Korea adding Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (changing to ) prefer from allow their populace to starve.

Hi Doc, I for one thank you for taking your time to share those logical connections to reality.
The water supply varies geographically and should be monitored due to constant needs and intermittent fluctuations of rain fall.

+1 Thanks for the tip. I don't want to be to noisy!
I do need to be stealthy.

+1 and most appreciated.

Here are two wonderful counters I've found:
Karma Neutral - hmmmmmm

What a bunch of horse pucky!
Did anyone see what the Israelis did via raising crops in the dessert? There are tens of thousands of acres lying fallow all over the world, not to mention farming methods allowing for more food per acre than could be imagined just a few decades ago.The fact that socialist countries like Venezuela and North Korea would allow their populace to starve is not the fault of mismanaged environmentalism, and as for the atmospherics, that's been debunked over and over, ad nauseum.

This is an example of the same kind of static thinking that predicted worldwide famine before the "green revolution" that gave us more sustainable crops and increased harvest. Technological breakthroughs are underway now that promise production of laboratory grown meat products much more efficiently than traditional herd sources. Genetically engineered sea flora and fauna will deliver highly nourishing food at much higher rates. Protein from insects and microbial growth will soon be available.

Earth's water supply is constant. It is not consumed, but merely changes states as it moves through the environmental chain. You can't "use it up."

Power production and use are likewise transitioning to ever higher levels of efficiency. Predictions of mineral and fuel shortages have been proven erroneous more times than I care to remember.

Like economic models, the flaw is that the measurers don't seem to realize they're shooting at a very fluid moving target. Humans are very good at adapting to changing conditions, so I consider this a waste of time.

And it probably does so, for half the people who read it.

Recommend you read John Ross' Unintended Consequences, especially the modern day section starting around June 7. The value of a Browning .22 pistol or rifle with sub-sonic ammunition will be obvious.

You have the record so far but I would bet Gore needs more.
