Response to CEI's video "CO2 - We Call It Life". Created for R4NT.COM magazine.--2006
Three problems with Washington state's proposal. One, anthropogenic global warming is bogus (temperatures have fallen since 1998 http://www.dailytech.com/Temperature%2BMonitors%2BReport%2BWorldwide%2BGlobal%2BCooling/article10866.htm). We're more likely to have a future of ice instead of us frying. Two, CO2 is plant food, essential for life on this planet. The more CO2 there is the greener Earth is. Three, any "carbon footprint" tax is a draconian slap in the face of those who can least afford it.
If you can't meter it, trash the technology, or terminate the inventor--or both. In our increasingly stagflationary world (made this way through central bankers' fiat money), oil is now just over USD100 and shows no sign of retreating. Exxon-Mobil last year made a record profit of $46 billion. Take the meter away from the oil pump, introduce cheaper water, and then you have a different world. No wonder Stanley Myers died of "poisoning" in 1998.
These three Rheinmaidens possess the much sought Rheingold. If you get your hands on this and renounce love you can rule the world. If you can get the world to use the money you make out of nothing and charge interest you have this gold. Das Rheingold is an opera by Richard Wagner. Bayreuth (pronunciation: http://www.answers.com/bayreuth?cat=travel&gwp=13 ) is the small German city where Wagner built the Festspielhaus, home of Wagner festivals since its opening in 1876.
Aussies and Kiwis get pissed off when outsiders confuse the two countries. Ignorance of geography is universal, though. Aussie, Neil Breen, editor of the Sunday Telegraph, near the end of this short clip confuses Alaska and Canada. It's not just Americans who confuse Hungary and hungry.
