Yankee Doodle will be lucky to feed his fat ass spam after that Shiite hits the fan! We will trim NASA to the bone, Leave Iraq, limit the Afghanistan involvement and pull back our horns world-wide in face of the Asian Fact: We no longer have a strong enough dollar to command 80% of world resources, and must share with the stronger Yuan and Asian forces abroad! Our Military is totally foreign oil dependent! Goddammit! OPEC holds the tap on our Armed forces – The Oil Embargo of the ’70′s taught us this lesson! Time to cut down Old Glory in many outposts, and return home to consolidate! The Corporatist Bull Shiite propaganda that makes our false pride possible has run out of lies! We are a poor debtor nation to the world living far beyond our means, and about to face the comeuppance of a lifetime! We can’t even make our own cars, and when we assemble cars most the parts we use come from Asians! Salted American soil in California represents the Treason against America committed by Corporate Power for ROI! Sickening! America! Dead on the road! Even the tools for production melted and sold to Asian interests to make the tools for the factories of our destruction, in Asia! all for a “%”, and ROI in the bankers pockets! We were duped into believing we would all, one day, become millionaires! Do you feel rich today? Do you still hold out hope for that day? We cannot pay for the wild dreams of our great sears and intelligentsia – they have let us down! The think-tanks, the Ivory Towers we paid so dearly to support spew crap like this while we tighten our belts, drink water in place of milk and watch Asians walk away with our jobs! Sprinkle iron on the oceans for salvation! Sprinkle your asses with buckshot, rid the world of your useless carcasses – one mouth less to feed! My back is sore my arches broken down, carrying assholes like these boys on my bent shoulders did it! They need to go out and produce real wealth, not this Bull Shiite! G d please save me from these assholes, I am tired and do not need the aggravation of their mindless prattle today!

A significant number of such GE trees are known to have been developed to resist insects, such as two poplar species that were commercialised in China. Alerting effects are also detected on the soil. GE trees can affect the bacteria, earthworms and soil respiration. The leaves of GE trees planted along a water sourse can enter the waterways and we still do not have enough data to foresee its consequences for the aquatic life.

Therefore, Genetic technology should therefore be restricted to indoors, with containment, and should not be mixed with wild life.

Ethanol from solar Power, and C02 from the air! Yes! Liquid Sunshine – transportable from our South Western deserts, Usable at night, burnable in cars, “carbon friendly and almost free! Now! Call Obama’s office in your neighborhood and get the fight for this innovative technology to save the planet going! Ethanol can even be used in some fuel cells! This is not a time for complacency, not a time to take “NO” for and answer, the seed technology has broken and is published! We can re-use the C02 from the atmosphere in a balanced equation, by adding Solar Electric power and keep carbon emissions to a minimum and still drive decent cars! Check out my wild assertions, research the web, talk to friends, local schools etc., and move on this! It will save our souls from Nuclear holocaust if it works, and keep the coal mines and their destructive environmental practices shrinking! Check out Algae derived Bio-Diesel at the same time! With both these super, eco friendly fuels going for us a heavy carbon tax can be a Godsend, getting us off of carcinogenic imported oil forever – Now is your chance America, rise up and win, or fall slowly to Detroit Cities Third World status with your tail between your legs – Your call America!

Please do not dismiss this idea, yes the Greenland ice sheet is 650,000 square miles but that is not what Dr. Jason Box wants to do. Dr. Jason Box is the man who came up with the idea and has done small scale expirements with these. If you watch the videos and read more into, you will be amazed how well it works. Back to the point, Dr. Box foremost wants to cover the areas where the glacier sheet is melting rapidly, at areas that have “melt lakes” which are bodies of water near the glacier that cause it to melt even faster. He wants to put the blankets around the edges of the greenland ice sheet, which i’ve been googling the measurements for the perimeter for almost an hour but cannot find anything on it, but it would certainly be significantly cheaper. I just think you should consider the idea based on the results they got from the expirement, just check it out.
