Right, because anyone who works hard enough can have their own yacht.
Yes, but success is not guaranteed. Stop listening to Marxists like Michael Moore, and watch what they're doing: he was born into a muddle-class, blue collar family. Now he has immense holdings in the same kinds of immense corporations he criticizes.
When Wal-mart cuts pay to employees, where do you think that money goes? Do you honestly think it somehow works its way back around to the employee?
No, it finds its way elsewhere... like the company that builds yachts.
Even if a rich guy puts his money in gold coins and belly flops into the pile like Scrooge McDuck, someone gets paid to build the storage, haul it in, and guard it. That's a bizarre example, but... Scrooge McDuck swimming in gold. He he, funny.
And so it says that they did the right thing: they left their crappy, thieving jobs and started their own firms. They're still only making about their old salaries, but they're calling the shots and the sky's the limit. This is why ethical capitalism RULES.
And most cars only have a key for both the door and ignition, and sometimes a locking gas cap. They don't have separate keys for the glove compartment, seat adjustment, gear shift, radio, wipers, and lights.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, animals don't have the intelligence to form social contracts, and thus live in a state of full rights (anarchy). We do have the ability to form a social contract, giving limited rights to a government in exchange for the benefits of civilization.
I dunno... maybe you had better look into what BP's "smarter planet" initiatives entail. Then, wonder why they contributed so much money to Obama and other progressives' campaigns.
What we're trying to say is that AGW believers seem to prefer raising taxes and starting eco-capitalist companies rather than live in small, efficient homes and stop driving cars.
Maybe you're confused because in the USA back in the 1930s, FDR applied the word "liberal" to his progressive policies which were anything BUT liberal. In fact, some of programs like the notorious NRA were struck down by the courts for being grossly anti-freedom. So we're not talking about classical liberals here, which are now called "libertarians".
We could. Besides being anti-freedom, who stands to benefit from that? Isn't it the same oil companies whose "windfall profits" the federal government keeps promising to confiscate? Electricity? I get my power from a nuclear plant. Not much carbon being produced there.
For starters, our President said that energy costs "must necessarily skyrocket." Congress tried over and over to pass a cap-and-trade bill. They've been trying to rush this in since 2007. Now Harry Reid has declared it's "dead", so we have to watch the EPA closely to see if they start creating regulations for the same framework, just done this time through bureaucrats instead of elected representatives. Follow the money: Al Gore has cap-and-trade investments, Goldman Sachs has cap-and-trade investments, George Soros has cap-and-trade investments.
#1 is hyperbole because of the bogus 99% "statistic". Regardless, whenever you hear politicians talk about improving driver safety, the topic is nearly always about young people. The usual response is to make them wait longer to get their license, which only means that inexperienced drivers will be older. Or they'll say that an "experienced" driver has to be in the car with them-- merely ensuring that they will have a passenger to distract them with conversation. Even better, they ensure that the driver is "experienced" only by requiring that they be some arbitrary age like 21-- even though they could just be another new driver who didn't get their license until last week. So basically, here in the US we believe that everyone is a pretty good driver-- it's just that teens are reckless because they're horny and easily distracted, and maybe old people should be required to get their eyes checked or retake their test once they hit 80 if the AARP says it's OK.
OK-- I'm going to have to ask you for your credentials proving your ability to hear underinflated tires. Engine timing, I'll give you if you're so much as a garage mechanic.
The website used to have pictures of the pizzas and they not like Italian/American pizzas at all as they have a large number of ingredients on top
Mmm hmmm. Yeah, we just have pepperoni. California's had wackjob pizzas for decades, and they found their way to the east coast like fifteen years ago.
I think most folks believe that since you can feasibly power your entire home by covering the roof with solar panels, that a city can be powered this way. I guess they're forgetting that a home is only 1-3 stories and about 1500-3000 sq ft, while an apartment building or office in the city is tens of stories and hundreds of thousands of sq ft. The surface area of the roof is pitifully small in comparison to the interior volume.
To be fair, France benefits from a much more centralized population. The U.S. can't just build enormous nuke plants and send power by wire across the country without serious losses on the line.
Irrelevant. We're going to need to wire power all over the nation, no matter from what source it is derived. We can't just plop solar generators in every community-- that would result in an historic eminent domain grab to the enrichment of the eco-capitalists.

You mean you don't have a copy of the email informing him that you would be out in your sent mail? And how do you arbitrarily skip a written warning?

I didn't see any support of this particular argument in your post.
Did they voluntarily sell it to me? Do I own the entire planet, or can people move away from my empire? The real problem is morality, not freedom.
How does "climate change" differentiate from "global warming" to the satisfaction of these idiots, then? I'm curious.

Oh yeah, and I love the one right in front of air conditioner exhaust and the one right over a charcoal grill.
Too late, he's been troll modded by the AGW conspirators. Still at +2, though.

Cap and trade.

Except for the range. The Leaf goes 100 miles, the Volt, only 40 (shades of the 1980s).
The point is that it's not "free market", and people already pay for the "space" and "harm" with the existing cost of fuel WITH CURRENT TAXES.

But the carbon footprint of Autobahn drivers must be the size of King Kong's! waaaaaah
Mmm hmmm. Yeah, we just have pepperoni. California's had wackjob pizzas for decades, and they found their way to the east coast like fifteen years ago.
It takes a special talent to mess up a pizza analogy on an article about pizza. Bravo! (pizza)
