You are more on the money than you think. You see, that is why you and I cannot be entrusted with a tax refund. We wouldn't spend it "correctly." It is better that people superior to us, people such as Lear and the Clintons, say where your money should go.

I said..""And you also think that we who live on heavily wooded lots should just let the deep leaves just sit there all winter?""

arm958 said..""Ever hear of a rake?""

Well, using your logic, you should be using a horse and buggy instead of a car.

I think you would fit in well with the Amish people. Perhaps you should contact them.

My niece's "Where's Waldo" stated that it took a whole tree just to make 40 newspapers...leaving out the size of both the required trees and newspapers in typical leftist fashion. Still, a Rush-sized newspaper "audience" (20 million) would require the daily destruction of 500,000 trees.

Try doing a Google search on how many trees are destroyed for the daily NY Times, or investigate how much energy's necessary to keep the entertainment-news business running. Those busybodies lecture the rest of us peons, but never hold themselves accountable. Pompous scribes and entertainers, lecture thyselves.

I suppose I opened myself up to that one. "What I meant to say" was that some conveniences and power toys can easily be done away with. It can simplify your life and save money to boot. I would put leaf blowers squarely in that category, along with electric can openers, trash compactors, dirt bikes, power boats, snowmobiles (except those used as transport, etc.) I am aware that my views are considered Un-American by some at FR (not saying you).

Well, the time that I save by using a leaf blower instead of raking, could be better spent on better productive things like perhaps researching a new business opportunity which then could lead to me to hiring people and providing new jobs. As long as those jobs don't entail any gasoline consumption, right?

Questions I would love to see them asked:

How many homeless people could have been fed and sheltered for the cost of these SUV ads?

Are homeless people less important than commercials against SUV's?

She [Huffington] said she received 5,000 e-mail messages and eventually raised $50,000 from the public. Bigger contributors included Steve Bing, the film producer; Larry David, the comedian and "Seinfeld" co-creator; and Norman Lear, the television producer.

And I would still like to hear what sort of vehicle Bing's ex-girlfriend Liz Hurley is driving his little baby around in. Bet it's not some little gas-saving VW.
