The EPA: Getting rid of that pesky mercury particulate because Obama Administration cares about your health, and the health of the planet. It has nothing to do with wanting to cripple the energy sector, cost untold numbers of jobs, and drive up prices to influence behavior and further define the classes. To argue otherwise is racist.
The fact that they’ve stood behind a mandate that requires you reintroduce that mercury into your lives by way of toxic light bulbs absolutely filthy with the stuff? There’s a simple explanation:
— Wait, look! Bunnies!
If only somebody had spoken out…
In math, we’d call this kind of reasoning, if that word can even be assigned to the thought processes involved here, incongruent.
This has very little to do with mercury, and everything to do with ramming through the “green” agenda. This is the same old thing. Their emmissions agenda could never get through the national legislature so instead they’ll enact it by any means necessary.
Funny how I never seem to hear the usual suspects shrieking in spittle flecking outrage about “the imperial presidency!”. I guess they’re off with the dedicated anti-war protesters at a drum circle seminar or something…
Exactly, Bob. I’d go so far to say that it has nothing to do with mercury.
OT: Can anyone think of a reason outside of the usual suspects (firewall, etc) that I wouldn’t be able to access this website at home? I just get the ‘timed out’ message. Just with pw, though, no other sites. Can’t figure it out for the life of me.
What BR said.
I would add that whatever one’s ideology, a fair question to ask is, “Aren’t we just a tad afield from what we want Senators to be doing when they start casually talking about industries being bankrupted from regulations?”
More to the point, there is a sick, almost Marxist angle here. If then Senator Obama had anything to fear, political or otherwise, from the people who had to live with what he is advocating here, he wouldn’t be so flippant. This is a bi-partisan problem, of course, but one that seems to have a home in the democratic left.
Miners make such dreary company, to say nothing of conversation.
OT: But I thought of Jeff and hin sense of humor when I saw this.

I just imagine a professor Jeff referencing this as he runs into a colleague at the campus coffee place and the look on the colleagues face….priceless
apologies in advance
YOU SAID THE M WORD, VISIGOTH! DRAW YOUR SWORD FOR WE MUST NOW DUEL!
Well, despite my work at CrossFit, given that you are now ripping phone books in half our duel will likely result in last rites for me.
To the point, and I’ll stipulate that my work in political texts is less rigorous than many here, doesnt this recall nothing so much as Ukranian farmers and the Kulak classes?
I’m not alluding to Stalinism, but I am alluding to a governmentally sanctioned class of losers under a regulatory or policy scheme.
Not cool.

It’s never about the crisis du jour. It’s always about control. Government exists today for the sole purpose of limiting your-the individuals- options.
At least that’s what I’m getting out of it.
Have a nice fuckin day
Selling the Luddite position. Next up coal miners to return to pick and shovel, bureaucrats to clay tablets… more to come, pony express delivers for you.
Some days it just seems like life gets funnier and funnier.
Course, there’s that famous thing: you know, the one where Jesus weeps but doesn’t laugh (too Scary!) and Socrates laughs but doesn’t weep (too Scary!) and neither one of them ever writes anything down outside of some scratches in the dirt.
[…] He IS trying to do so. There really isn’t much way you can reasonably deny it at this point. In fact, he’s almost directly admitted it himself. […]
