Traveling and living in other countries years of my life the US is by far the best place in the world for free speech and starting a business from nothing and why I don't put up with European, foreign, or fucking Canadian rhetoric. Most now trolling, but what caught even me off guard was the American bashing and mean spirited by popular non-American business people back in 2009. The Canadians and Europeans showed true colors as to this day they fucking disgust me. Obviously not all as a very few dutch and most of the Aussies were supportive.
Anyway, the reason I mention this is I am starting to see this type of rhetoric and behavior slowly coming common place with our kids. You know the Canadian and European elitist snooty I fucking tried, so I deserve something regardless if I succeeded, as they almost get hostile if you tell them a simple no. Or Have you ever played chess with a stranger on a plane, park, or wherever as he knows you've already beat him 5-8 moves, but still wastes 20 fucking minutes hoping you'll make a simple bored mistake so they win on a technicality? Canadians and Europeans (not all) on this board are exactly the chess guy I mentioned. They'll insult you with labels because you don't want to play as they still can't understand, it's not so much about winning or losing, but how you actually played the game.
You see our forefather have been through this type of rhetoric and behavior before as the only safeguard against it was for every American to have the right to protect themselves from it. The second Amendment.
Long, was going to blog about it anyway.

The federal papers are a great read. I had an awesome history teacher in high school that didn't use the classroom book more than he had to. He told the real story. Like why the Pilgrims are highly thought of in history, it's because the US needed some of it's own history early in our history. According the ships log, they pulled into Plymouth Rock because they were out of beer.
So many things in our own history that people just forget, sometimes I wish I could forget some of the things I've seen.
I mean, we as a nation, are pretty amazing at some of the great things we have accomplished. When California bought the Bay Bridge from China, they said it was because we could no longer do the work? Really? Yet we had to send people to China to show them how to do it. Or how about the stimulus money, how many foreign companies benefited from that? Investing in Fisker which is a foreign company to build cars that only 1% of the population can afford? I was all for the stimulus, but damn, who did the accounting? Invest in American companies right? Novel idea I know. Can't even keep all the drugs from coming into the states from over the border, but I don't think they want to stop them, dumb down america is what they are doing, that's why we gave them guns right?
Ok, my rant is over for the night....

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
