I think a real sign of maturity is the ability to deal with content that might offend you without getting your knickers in a knot and demanding it be removed. I assume everyone at Desperance is an intelligent, mature individual who isn't going to have a seizure at the mere mention of the word "wang." In addition, Desperance is hardly a smut factory. When people post inline images that I don't really care to see again and again, I edit the post and replace it with a link. There's no reason someone shouldn't follow a link to Desp. In conclusion,  EDIT: And I totally concur with Alec's post above mine, unless he changes it to "HEIL HITLER BUAUGUAUGUH" or something.

Hydroelectric power is not harmless. It (in conjunction with logging) has decimated the Pacific salmon. It kills fish, plain and simple. Nuclear is the safest and cleanest method of power we have. Especially when you factor in the IFR and other near-zero-waste reactor designs. -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Politically, not much. Dean just had a more "progressive" message, and he ran as an anti-war candidate. He renounced in one way or another most of his really different views, like being strongly against the Iraq war or being in favor of single-payer health care. -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order.

It's exactly as Kel said. If you listen to footage recorded in the crowd, the noise was deafening. It was nearly impossible to hear Dean, even when he did scream. He was reacting to the energy of the crowd and stimulating it. If you actually listen to the footage without having your head stuck up your ass, the crowd only cheered louder after "the scream." A few weeks later, ABC News basically ran a segment saying "whoops, it wasn't nearly as weird as we said, sorry for playing it into the ground." And that was the end of that story, after they basically did a hatchet job on a good man. This all reflects what they did to Al Gore in 2000. Numerous times ("inventing the internet," Love Story, Love Canal, James Lee Witt, &c.) the media absolutely pounced on the idea that GORE LIES AGAIN. And then a few weeks later, they say "whoops, he didn't say he created the Internet" or "oopsy, he actually did start the first hearing on Love Canal" or "hey, wait, he actually did quote the newspaper correctly about Love Story being based on him and Tipper." But the meme was already out, and the retractions got much less coverage than the original OMG AL IS A LIAR folderol. It's sickening. At the same time, Bush was taking credit for legislation that he had vetoed. -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

The primary issue with solar power is that photovoltaic panels currently require a good deal of energy to produce. In addition, a number of very nasty chemicals need to be bandied about in order to produce them. As a result, it can take quite a while for a photovoltaic panel to make up for the damage to the environment caused in its production. Solar water heating is a pretty good idea, though. It's been suggested that a large amount of energy could be saved just by designing houses and buildings for maximal use of solar energy and insulating them well. -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order.

The Biodiesel Production Process The technology of converting vegetable oils and animal fats into biodiesel is a well established process. The most commonly used and most economical process is called the base catalyzed esterification of the fat with methanol, typically referred to as "the methyl ester process". Essentially the process involves combining the fat/oil with methanol and sodium or potassium hydroxide. This process creates four main products - methyl ester (biodiesel), glycerine, feed quality fat and methanol that is recycled back through the system. The primary product, methyl ester, is better know as biodiesel. The glycerine and fats can be sold to generate added income from the process. -- http://www.agecon.uga.edu/~caed/biodieselrpt.pdf The process is primarily chemical. It's still cheaper to distill biodiesel from petroleum since petroleum is cheaper right now, but that won't be true for long. Essentially any fat or oil can be used, including used cooking oil -- this is really popular around here with the hippies. The United States is the world's #1 producer of corn. If a substantial amount of the feed corn we make was diverted to production of corn oil, or those fields were planted with oilseed rape. The big issue is "secondary pollution" -- the pollution produced by the machinery used to grow plants. The argument is that the energy needed in fuel to grow a given plot of oilseed rape is in excess of the energy produced as biodiesel. I'm not sure I believe this, but I haven't seen any solid evidence either way. In any case, a hybridized fuel system is necessary. Bringing back the IFR and other advanced nuclear programs would be key. Decentralizing the power grid (with semi-local wind farms and local solar panels) would be another important step. Incentives would be provided to promote energy conservation. Excess oils would be used for biodiesel (because it'll be hard to make an electric truck any time soon; not enough torque). Consumer cars would first be moved towards a gasoline/electric hybrid; as fuel-cell technology became feasible, that may be the next logical step. (But who knows? Maybe battery technology will increase to the point where pure electric could power vehicles.) With government support, a program like this could probably remove all US reliance on petroleum except for plastics in the next 20 years at most.

Anarchy is not a lack of government. It is the systematic elimination of all unneccessary hierarchies of power. It is a process, eventually leading to a world where none calls another master. -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

paganism is for hippies and fat old women and the union of these sets 'wicca' is slang for "i'm fat, i'm constantly pms'ing, and I need it something awful so I'm going to pretend to be a witch so i can get some from that creepy guy who hangs out in the park and calls him self 'Shuggalor'" -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order.

Warren who? Boots: it was a rhetorical question. I know who Warren Zevon is, but he did not write "Raspberry Beret" any more than Will Smith wrote "Just The Two Of Us" or Michael Bolton wrote "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay." :-p [ Tuesday, April 27, 2004 17:06: Message edited by: Maaya ] -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order.

Yea, I was working part-time in a five-and-dime My boss was Mr. McGee He told me several times that he didn't like my kind 'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing But different than the day before That's when I saw her, ooh I saw her She walked in through the out door, out door She wore a raspberry beret The kind you find in a second-hand store Raspberry beret, and if it was warm She wouldn't wear much more Raspberry beret, I think I love her Built like she was, she had the nerve to ask me If I planned to do her any harm So look here, I put her on the back of my bike And-a we went riding down by old man Johnson's farm I said now, overcast days never turned me on But something about the clouds and her mixed She wasn't too bright but I could tell when she kissed me She knew how to get her kicks She wore a raspberry beret The kind you find in a second hand store Raspberry beret, and if it was warm She wouldn't wear much more Raspberry beret, I think I love her The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof And the horses wonder who you are Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees You feel like a movie star Listen, they say the first time ain't the greatest But I tell ya, if I had the chance to do it all again I wouldn't change a stroke 'cause baby, I'm the most With a girl as fine as she was then (I'm 17.) -------------------- Beatoff Valley: A story told out of order.
