its great when liberals call on you for something then you turn the conversation around and they backpedal...
last year i was cutting my lawn and this hippy chick walks onto my property- she said she was from some NY environmental group and asked me if i would sign a petition to get the US off of fossil fuels (while i was sitting on my gasoline chugging lawn tractor none-the-less)...
i asked her what alternatives was she offering...”renewables!!”...i asked her what type of renewables could i put in my cars gas tank to get me to work on Monday to pay for all the gov’t programs for the poor??
“uh- well we have nothing yet”....
i then asked about nuclear energy...”no- no nuclear, just renewables like wind!!”...i asked if she was going to put one of those wind things, the one that kills all the birds, in her parents yard...”well, we don’t have a wind farm yet”...
i then reminded her that i heard this pathetic argument 30 years earlier when the environuts were screaming to stop nuclear energy and as a result America was behind nations like France who have so much nuclear power they export it- never mind states like Vermont....
she realized she was defeated and her only response was “you watch Fox news don’t you?”...i told her i sure as hell don’t watch MSNBC....
lol.
Good for you! I also love having conversations with those environmrntalists who are always asking me to sign petitions.
