Really. I think we are going to have to institute some sort of policy that people who come up with this mind numbing garbage must go through mandatory shrink sessions. They are definitly insane.

Amazing she's so old yet so pretty.

Jst fed her and she is walking around, she very active and likes to chase the younger cats around. She loves to watch the water go down the drain too. B-)

Grat. Two of my cats live to be 18-19 respectively. Good Job.

Thanks. I have 8 cats, Pansy will be 18, Corky turned 16, Boo will be 15 in July, Pixie is around 13, Spunky 5, and her 3 kittens are 4. B-) Last year, we lost Muffin to kidney problems, had she lived another month, she would have been 17, she is/was almost exactly Pansy's age. We kept her going for 2 and a half years so I'm glad we had that extra time with her.

So where are the people going to go?



The standard socialist solution. High rise slums.

Are they talking about pulling down the old post-war council houses? I always got the impression they weren't too sturdily built in the first place, and by 2050 they would be a century old and likely falling to bits anyway.

Hmmm... I live in a Victorian Age flat in Edinburgh. It has single-paned windows. Really drafty in the bedroom in the winter. There are historical preservation type laws that prevent double glazed windows from being installed. Have to keep the building looking like it always has and all that sort of thing.

We live in an 1889 Victorian with single-paned double-hung windows. On the ones that have not been broken over the past 116 years, we still have the old glass that looks wavy when you look through it.

There may be a business in designing double-paned inserts to reglaze the original frames with, even giving the outside glass a "wavy" appearance.

It might be a compromise between historical preservation laws and energy conservation needs and a good business opportunity if it works out.

Might I suggest the big 'blue' cities, i.e. San Fran, NYC, LA, Seattle, Portland, etc.

Most cities are blue, right?

I vote that we start with Charles Clover's home, and once it's done, move on to the rest of those aforementioned "academics"

naw...I use it to mean I'm being a smart a**. My remark is not to be taken personally. It's to show that your joke would be serious to the idiots trying to push this rediculous idea.

Exactly my thoughts. Probably the comatose and the terminally ill will be the first to go, then the elderly, soon to be followed by those who refuse to group think. Closer and closer.
