Make green as convenient to me as fossil is. Make it cost the exact same. Make it look the same. Make it so I don’t even know it’s “green” and I’m on board.
And if you can do any of that, it will take off and become feasible. Then, we wouldn't be self-imploding our entire way of life just to become subjects to other countries. Make it real world ready and people will quickly flock to it.
nope, sorry. There are 'costs' that aren't immediate and not so close to home YET. We are doing what we always do, sweeping it under the rug until it hits us right in the face and we are forced to do something out of sheer necessity. At that point we will have lost much that wouldn't have been unnecessarily given up if we had just accepted a little inconvenience and spent a little money on what is readily apparent to those not closing their eyes and covering their ears.

We don't like change, especially not to our lifestyles, even though time after time when lifestyle changes come about, we become just as attached to the new one that we were to the old one. Would you go back to the horse and buggy? Would you want aspirin and bed rest to be the best a doctor could recommend? Hell no.

Additionally, solutions created on an emergency basis are not as viable as those that come about as a progression. We'll never get that progression if we don't start that progression, and YESTERDAY was the time to start it.

It was around '74 that we got a slap in the face over fossil fuels, and I had hoped that we would start getting off the petro-tit then. So did many others who waited in line for hours to get five gallons of gas IF the station was even open. So what did we do when oil supplies were cut loose again? We pulled our blankies up around us and went right back to our old complacency. In those fifty years, if we had only seriously pursued a better alternative to FF, what we would have now would be a better life that we would oppose giving up just the same as what we oppose now.

Libs will applaud this. But if they don't stop being afraid of the dark and start allowing and promoting practical alternatives to FF, they should hold that applause.

Y’all laugh but Harris is polling well with the incarcerated felony transexuals. I think she carried the astronauts marooned on the space station as well.
what if she said she was in favor of just abandoning those astronauts? Would that be the big deal? I mean hell, there's only two of them (@blazers usual argument) and we have plenty more, and their fate doesn't affect me or you at all.

With her being up for election, we need to know what her mindset is on a number of specifics and we need to know her general outlook and her philosophy. If she said 'oh, F those guys, let's talk about something important' would you vote for her?

I know that trans surgery doesn't compare to abandoning astronauts and you're smart enough to know that that isn't the point anyway. The point is that she reveals a mindset that is indicative of her general thinking when she presses the point that she favors taxpayer-paid trans surgery for prisoners and illegal detainees. Hell no, I'm not voting for that astronaut-abandoning lunatic.

I had another thought regarding her border czardom mindset. She said the focus was on fixing the base problem, so she was in Guatemala handing out cash while many millions who shouldn't be here came to stay....and the gullible ate it up. Sure, fix the basic problem, that makes sense they say.

Now take those astronauts, and say she was the space flight czar and apply her 'logic'. Bring those marooned astronauts home? No, focus on fixing the problem that got them marooned and then deal with what happened in the meantime. Right?

Quick stuff (Memphis exhibition)...

Yep. The game just needs to slow down for him --- and, much like EC last season, it's all about confidence.
He's feeling a little self-imposed pressure to perform here at a high D-1 program. Our staff and our guys know what he does at practice.
Sidebar story: One of my guys happened to have a chance to play pickup with Cade up in Tennessee before he committed to UNC, and described him as one of those guys who would take one step over half-court and let it fly, knowing it was probably going in. So yeah, once he gets his mojo flowing he will be a weapon.
First time I’ve seen Cade shoot the ball. He seems to have a funky hitch. Is that his normal shot?
