I watched something about there actually being a way to purify it but the purifier or whatever costs a fuckload of money and they haven't even refined the technology it uses yet. There is like only one in the entire US or some bullshit and its not capable of processing all of the coal we're going to start mining.

And yeah the process of mining in itself is very dangerous and dirty as shit but I'm sure if we really wanted to we could find a way to extract it and maybe rebuild the mountains back up without blowing everything to hell.

Probably, but then the energy and money required to extract and refine it would rise to the point where it wouldn't be a very profitable/easy/efficient source of power

right?! I was pretty appalled when I first heard about how they actually go about harvesting coal. Which, is not to say that it's any less appalling now.


Here's a picture, for anybody reading this that doesn't know what that's all about. They literally lop off the top of mountains!

So, the looters have finally caught on.

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for Men to live without breaking laws.

Man's unique reward is that, while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background, Man survives by adjusting his background to himself. People like you create your own questions because you are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk.

The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.

nothing

That's really fucking hilarious and at the same time frightening.  Ron Paul supporters looking for people to reproduce with scares the hell out of me.

'm surfing the Tsunami of Doom. While I fully expect the collapse of the world I have always known, I have never been happier. I whistle a happy tune as I prepare for the economic apocalypse. My interests are meditation, woodworking with traditional hand tools, the natural world, shooting, laughing at the absurdity of existence.

senate finance committee apparently drops a public option from the health care bill.

like the stimulus plan this has been watered down to the point of being just an enormous waste of money.

what the hell did you think it was in the first place

taking tax payer money to prop up failing corporations so they can continue spending everyone into oblivion that sounds like a responsible use of a couple trillion dollars
