THE CLEAN ENERGY SCAM
TIME (2008) April 7,
GRUNWALD 40-45
Unfortunately most bio-mass sounds good and we have some of it already, but it hurts the forests that absorb carbon, and increases heat to make global warming worse. The only fuel that seems to be cost effective is sugar cane based ethanol. If many of the corn based ethanol plants can reconfigure for sugar cane that would be excellent. Further, where can sugar cane are grown? Hopefully, this issue will fall into place within the decade.

There appears to be some trivia and serious social phenomena that are passing away. They are:
TRULY BLIND DATES. With such things as Match.com and Harmony.com/ blind dates just seem to risky.
SHORT BASKETBALL SHORTS. They should be much longer to cover whatever is underneath.
THE BLUES. There appears to be enough medications out there to encourage a person to be comfortably numb and not be drunk.
CASH. The credit card and related has made this issue much easier to understand.
PHONE SEX. Now you can have sex at work with text messaging and it is a lot cheaper.
GETTING LOST. If you put a gps (global positioning system) within you, some one can probably find you.
DOING NOTHING AT THE OFFICE. With the computer and cameras pointed at you, it appears you will have to do something.

Guess what? We send soldiers to various places in the world on what appears to be an important task. Some come home wounded and others dead. So what do we do for them? We short changed them on money for college. The G.I. bill got a lot of soldiers a full ride for undergrad and grad school. Now the money is good for about 3 years.

Will your cell phone kill you? Will the high power lines kill you? Don’t both cause cancer? Nope.
