We don't have to worry about terrorist killing us...chemical warfare and all that!

This was on the front of Yahoo today

U.S. labs working with deadly substances report over 100 accidents and missing shipments.

That's what I said when the railroad tanker loaded with chlorine ruptured across the river in South Carolina about 5 years ago....

Hey --- we can do this ourselves!

That single event in Russia many years ago is enough to wipe out most if not all, once it burns itself out of the coffin that is failing as of we type now. And those other sites deep within the earth will also fail, too.

I'm not a enviro whacko...just a whacko! I look at all my family waste...the trash that goes out on Wednesday and it amazes me! OH...and don't get me started on the crap that had washed up on the beach while I was there...cigarette butts ALONE!!!! INSANITY!

I know this is nothing new...I'm just spouting off and all know the song!

In January I will be going to Honduras where the people are so poor that the landfill is a gold mine and we throw out so much!

Tilty...why don't you tell the whole story. It was two trains that collided. The First was PARKED, the UNION THUGS in charge never threw the switch to close the track and send the next train the other direction.

Yes incompetence can kill, but heck you can die walking across the street.

This is true BUT when you are dealing with the deadly germs that have come up missing in our hospitals there isn't much room for incompentence.

I know we are all human...and lord knows I make plenty mistakes myself but it is a big deal to me that the people handling these lethal germs are being so careless...or so it appears.

Why does it seem like everyone is happiest when they are afraid. Seems as though everyone has to think we're at the edge of doom or they aren't alive.

CMB and I have reduced our waste by a huge percentage in the last couple of years. We have a small garbage can we put out once a month instead of weekly. Food and yard waste and junkmail get composted, most everything we buy can either be reused or recycled somehow. We buy bulk---beans, flour, rice, etc. Infact Usually we need only got shopping once a month, sometimes less in the summer when I have fresh fruit and veggies coming from my garden. Its possible crazygurl :). You just have to really think about what you are doing and how waste can be lessened.

Hey if YOU like it GREAT!...I have a problem with other people saying, "WOW I like this so everyone should do it."

Thats great when YOU ARE THE PERSON MAKING THE RULES>

The problem most happy little libbies miss is "What happens when you aren't in charge?"

Say we have a major incident right before an election. As a result we get a really strong "RIGHT WING" group in. And before we know it someone like James Dobson is making the rules.

Not just MAKING the rules, but you have to pay IF you don't play by their rules. They decide that "drugs are bad m'kay" so for your own "protection" there are random drug screenings put near everywhere. The Ultra Baptist types get in charge and decide..."well they taxed the crap out of tobacco, lets pack $10.00 a six pack on to pay for what ever little "Government plan" they want.

Gurl...I have NO problem with Dr Dobson...What I have a problem is his desire to bring back his version of the Moral Majority. Just as the ideals proposed by Spirit Coyote could be abused if enforced by someone like Hillary, people like James Dobson see their beliefs as an end not a journey. His response that if Guliani gets nominated he will go for a third party (which will reenact the failure of the Rossparot plan which gave us Clinton for 8 years) because Rudy doesn't follow his strict little byline...thats just crap.

I had a classmate in College who was a Moral Majority card carrying apostle. He had a severe alchohol problem and rather than NOT DRINK he wanted to force his "religious beliefs" on everyone.

yeah there is never a chance the Government will tell us what we have to do in our own property or lives....

The Goverment already tells us to a certain extent! Don't you think that it would be better to have someone like the Moral folks directing us than having no direction at all?

there are certain things the government can control (since they impact us all) but my argument is the growing desire of Big Government people to want to run choices. Hey just look to Venezuela for examples of Government run wild.

I wasn't telling anyone how they have to live, crazygurl was just bothered by the amount of waste her family makes, I was mearly making suggestions (that work btw because I follow them) in ways she could help the problem :) How did you get government control outta that?

I like your ideas, but all I was doing was urging caution (ref the Dobson stuff) which we see. I personally have started being more conservative with the foods we cook. I found that I don't have to make a HUGE meal. Sometime homemade "Whatchagot" soup is great...plus it uses leftovers.

thanks elise! :)

the only thing I would caution is that using used kitty litter/poop in the landscape and compost is that cat poop can harbor parisites that are detrimental to other critters--and of course don't use it where you will be growing crops.
