Free Republic

I think it's all fairly low tech and should work quite well to even generate at least supplemental electricity

Low tech is right up my alley!

My first ten years here we had no power or phone lines. I used every low tech method imaginable to generate power. If only I would have had the hot water back then...I'm so excited I feel like a kid again!

Small earthquakes normal , but no volcano close enough to worry about.

Stirling Engine...Right on!

Thats strange - the geologist told you that? The San Andreas fault is the clearest division between the pacific & continental plates. In order to become inactive those two plates would have to stop shifting past each other

Yep, he sure did. But, he did say that not everyone agrees with this theory. Baha California broke away and became attached to the Pacific Plate. He says that many now believe that this break is continuing up California on the desert side of the mountains and is what is causing the inland earthquake activity. Someday the San Andreas will become inactive and California will be an island. I will admit that we shared a few cold ones and had a great time while discussing all of this, but it made sense to me! Don't breath that sigh of relief just yet. The San Andreas still has some big ones left!

Police buildings and prisons!
According to Bill O'Reilly, drugs are easier to get in prison than on the street.

We can't even keep drugs away from those who want them in prisons or police stations!

This war would be a joke if there weren't so many casualties.

You can keep punishing, but you won't stop the crime. You can keep eradicating but you won'i stop production.

How many shall we kill? How many shall we imprison? What addictions shall we make illegal? Religion is an addiction, so is love. Shall we kill all addicts?

The problem is that even though your solution sounds effective, the do gooders will carry it to extremes.

Keep in mind that we are the only free country in world history to wage this kind war against our own citizens.

This type of authoritarianism has previously been the method employed by tyrants to get rid of non conformists.

If you really want to end drug abuse you must end freedom. Only then will we have a safe and sane world for the Borg!

Great post!
I've come to the conclusion that all of this "wellness" nonsense is nothing but a smoke screen.

We've poured money by the shipload into medical research. What have we gotten for our investment?

Can they cure cancer? No, but they tell us that they are on the "verge" of a cure. They've been feeding us that line of BS for decades. The same holds true for diabetes and the common cold.

Enjoy life and to hell with the health nuts. They're running a blame the victim con game and living high on the grant money that we give them.

They claim that the aged live longer now. Hogwash!!! They are talking about drooling zombies strapped to beds in care homes. I don't call that living!

Great idea, I'll second it!

LMAO!
Redfords hero.

Please quote stats for that. I've read the drug problem was reduced (at that time). At the very least, less drug addicts.

Google will give you 45,500 hits on it. China actually invented the title "War On Drugs". It began when the communists took over in 1949 and instituted the "Peoples War On Drugs".

The number of people executed range from the hundreds of thousands to millions. Amnesty International is actually more conservative than others in numbers executed, so I'll quote them below. Keep in mind that their War On Drugs has never reduced addiction and even they admit that. They continue to execute drug addicts today.

This is from Amnesty International's report to the UN, who supports China's War On Drugs. The communist countries and other repressive dictatorships, (Stalin, Hitler and Saddam Insane) for example, have always had a War On Drugs. We are the first free country in history to wage this kind of war on its own citizens.

"Amnesty International has recorded at least 2,960 death sentences and 1,781 executions in China in the three months from April to June 2001. These figures, taken from a limited number of sources, show that more people were executed in China between April and June than in the rest of the world for the last three years. Despite the massive use of the death penalty for drug-related offences reports still indicate that China's drug problem is continuing to grow."

...said Sheriff Johnson. "This is an extremely serious matter, and we will leave no stone unturned in this investigation."

ROTFLMAO!!!

We get one of these evidence missing stories practically every month. I have yet to hear of anyone ever getting busted for stealing dope from an evidence room.

It seems obvious to me that the boys are just splitting up the booty!

You're right. Senility must be sneaking up on me!

Guess the author never met Louis Armstrong who smoked reefer every day

Bill Gates has done ok with a soft brain!

But it would work

China tried that. They executed several hundred thousand drug addicts from 1949 to the late fifties. Drug use increased!

Che has been dead for about 35 years. He had 4 or 5 children by two different women. The oldest might be about 45

Che is the brother of Fidel. Che's oldest daughter despised him and spoke out against him and Fidel along with Fidel's daughter who lives in America and despises Fidel. They don't get much coverage in our media.

LittleJoe, perhaps one of the others on the thread can come up with some good ideas on how to generate your power!

I'm counting on it. I firmly believe that the greatest minds on the planet are right here on FR!

America is more than geography. No other culture in human history has done more for mankind than America.

We are a culture, a religion, a dream. We are the legitimate leaders of the planet.

While others create ethnic cleansing and religious warfare, we create prosperity.

America is the Holy Land. If you think that's wrong, why is it that everyone on this planet wants to live in America?

Many preach one world government, that is the wave of the future. I'll agree as long as the capitol is Washington DC.

The word earth just means dirt. Lets change the name to America!

Yeah, I'm really excited!
Now I'm wondering if I can generate power from the difference between the hot and cold wells.
I read something about that years ago but can't find the info again. Maybe just science fiction...

Move LA Out of the Basin to the High Desert!!!!

That would solve the majority of crime and pollution problems!

Population density is a threat to freedom. Spread out!!!

Rush's enemies have set the rules by which they plan to run their PR war against him

I think their tactics will backfire. Rush has become more popular where I live. Neighbors who would never consider listening to Rush before now tune in daily.
