ORIGINAL: popeye1250 There's a development behind me, a gated community with many older people in it, I call it "Buick Land" lots of flagposts in front yards with the American flag flying and below it, "Marines", "Navy", "Air Force", "Army", and a few "Coast Guard" flags and many unit flags, "101 st Airbourne" "Seabees" etc. I'm sure they'll be participating tonight! Taking your comment at face value, they may be. the Pentagon has embraced energy-conservation with gusto. All the new military construction projects I worked on the Corps of Engineers and NAVFAC were dead serious about meeting the most stringent energy saving measures. Accepting the sarcasm in your comment- how has it come to this? That wasting energy, squandering electricity, is somehow the essence of patriotism? I thought conservatism was about "common sense". I have this vision of you, Popeye turning all your lights on, opening the windows, turning the AC to freezing, laughing- "Hah, that'll show them treehuggers!" Then when you get your $5,000.00 electric bill, do you imagine Al Gore will collapse in a heap of surrender and misery? Gee Rex you forgot the part where I watch the "starving children" ads while I'm eating a steak and the juice runs down my chin! Well, you're kinda close, I did have the heat up and I left the front and back lights on 'till 12 midnight. And PaHunk's right, Algore is a fraud. HE's the one with the $5,000 electric bills. lol
