I think Rags can make up his own mind.

Yes, Eric -- Kinser has gone from revolutionary to reactionary in seemingly two shakes of a puppy-dog's tail; in that I sense the delicate aroma of skunk spray.

The main problem with DHS is that it is a giant cluster fuck, and has been since day one. I'm less concerned with the FBI and Marshals than I am the other agencies. The Secret Service should be returned to Treasury since besides protecting dignitaries their man function is to investigate and apprehend counterfeiters of the currency. The BATF really has no purpose since Prohibition was repealed.

I'm surprised at your view PBR. I thought you subscribed to the horseshoe theory of politics.

I don't think it matters. Let us just suppose we could convert to all renewable electricity generation tomorrow. We'd still need fossil fuels to make and install all those solar panels and windmills and then we'd still need oil to transport them around to the instillation sites and that's assuming we don't need oil for the plastics to make them to start with.

The fact of the matter is if one wants to actually be "green" they need to think less of gimmicky products and gadgets and more along the lines of driving less, using less, and doing without more. The latter is a much harder sell.
