No problem. It's kind of funny that Vietnam is remembered as "Nixon's War", but all he was doing was staying the course set Kennedy and expanded by Johnson.
I'd take a bit of issue with Nixon and Vietnam. It was already going when he was first elected.
Would you blame Kerry for Iraq if he won? Would you blame him for it if he "stayed the course" after being elected because we were already there and couldn't leave without causing more problems?
That's what I was trying to get at, but didn't say it so well.
You could also set up a pretty good system for it by doing taking corn and making ethanol and feed stock. The feed stock can be given to cattle (and hogs? not sure about that) which will produce lots and lots of manure and meat. A portion of the manure can be tilled back into the surrounding land, the balance can be taking to the depolymerization plant. After slaughtered, the remnants of the cattle and hog carcasses (that which is not used in hot dogs) could be also taken to the depolymerization plant.
You could do the same with human waste if it was guaranteed not to have any non-organic nastiness (like other chemicals or heavy metals) in it. The trick is to have access to enough land to till it into. Too much manure can cause problems when it runs off during the spring.
IT overspent to prepare for Y2K and the recession followed because we broke out of the predictable upgrade cycle and ended up with a bunch of decent hardware and software - that didn't need upgrading or fixing right away.
That effect is now starting to pass and IT is picking up again.
I'd think that Republicans (that care about this) would generally fall into the "good stewardship" camp - use, but try not to do too much damage. I'd think that Democrats would fall more into the "restore the pre-settlement environment" camp - no usage, no people, just good vibes.
I also think that outdoorsmen in general (hunters, fishermen, and the like) do want to protect the environment more than they're given credit for.
I think that there are plenty from both parties who don't care one way or another.
The looks of the list you've got seems to confirm that. I'm sure that the Sierra Club is not interested in using resources wisely - just setting them off to the side.
The problems with large scale livestock farming are that you need a pretty good chunk of land to "take the poop" from an operation. When you put too much manure of the fields, you end up with nitrate runoff which makes people downstream (and eventually the gulf of mexico) unhappy.
I think that I read somewhere that some hog operations produce the raw sewage of a city of 30,000 people. When you get that much manure, disposing of it by tilling it back into the land becomes problematic, and converting it into oil would be an interesting idea.
I'm not sure that the economics of it would work, but it would be a neat thing to do - converting corn into oil with a small "middle step" (just watch that step).
We are at war. There are people who would like to do us serious harm, and we must keep ourselves alert and not kid ourselves into thinking that religious faith or other statistical data is but a mere coincidence.
Eloquently said. I don't think that many realize that (or want to realize that). They've been fighting this war for more than 20 years, but the West hast chosen to ignore it. That has stopped and we're still trying to figure out the best way to attack our enemies without harming innocents, while still protecting ourselves.
That would just make too much sense - how dare you!
This would also be a great opportunity for large livestock farmers - most of the time they have a surplus of "organic waste matter" and have to scramble to find a place to till it into the ground. If they could sell it for conversion into oil - that's just a good idea.

That's the monthly payment.
That was my bias showing through :)
And there should be "good enough" cards for businesses that run in the $50-$75 range new.
Like I said, it's not for everyone.
Living in a small town isn't for everyone. But it sounds like you telecommute, so there's no real reason to live in a large city.
Services aren't that far away either. I live within 30 minutes of two movie theaters and two hospitals (more miles, but short drives).
My mortgage payment is $350. $500 > $350, so a high end graphics card would be more than a mortgage payment.

It appears that "grits" are a central part of life in the deep south.
Are you sure it wasn't "Grits", "Lunch" and "Dinner"?
I second this. I use it on the mail gateway to clean up inbound e-mail and on the samba server to keep the nasties off of it.
I run ClamAV and have it scan the samba share every 15 minutes. Not quite real time, but close.

And that followed one of the biggest stock market plunges since the great depression.

But that's not nearly so cool and you can't brag about it on /.
Eek - good point. That being said, I do find it useful.
They don't care about controlling problems - they just want to look like they're doing something about an issue.
HiJackThis is a great tool for helping to clean up machines.
