Cheap, limitless energy...that you'll NEVER see!

Scientists at a US Navy laboratory have unveiled "significant" evidence of cold fusion, that's fusion happening at room temperature. Supposedly, the possibility of cold fusion has been around for 20 years or so and it has the "potential" to be a cheap, limitless and enviromentally-clean source of energy.

So why aren't we investigating this? Why aren't we investigating ALL alternative energy sources? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe and you mean to tell me we can't figure out a way to use it as a source of energy? We can invent a Wii but not a car that runs on water?? Come on! Do I really need to tell you why? Think about it.

Since 1962, Dr. Paul Moller has been trying to get people to recognize his flying cars. I want one of these! Hey, if they can produce enough of these you're looking at about $80,000 a pop. Not bad. Sign me up! I can just imagine the headaches the DOT will have when they try and come up with flying lanes for these babies!

A sidenote: Did you know that eating causes cancer? Go figure.

More Threats to your Liberty!

So the Co-Chairs to the State's Judiciary Committee (Andrew McDonald, D-Stamford, and Mike Lawlor, D-East Haven) must have nothing else to do. So they knock their heads together and come up with this great idea of submitting Bill 1098 that not only tramples on the Constitutions First Amendment and, in extension, the Fourteenth Amendment, but it makes me scratch my head in trying to figure out how the laypersons of a Catholic Church could be MORE responsible with the Church's money than the Priest and Diocese!

In THIS day and age!!!

Now there's some rumblings that the Bill was a kind of revenge idea directed toward the Church over their opposition to gay marriage because both of these lads are supposedly gay. That makes it even more of a no-brainer in just trashing this Bill tomorrow without even talking any more about it.

They also have a law that requires people to put a fence around their pools,hot tubs and spas more than 24 inches deep because "this ordinance is needed to keep people, especially children, safe." The state law does allow for "grandfathering" of older pools but Stamford's city law does not AND they're going to start fining owners $200 a DAY for every day that they don't do it.

These laws, combined with my undying hatred of Connecticut's Seat Belt Law, are pretty much the reason why this country is going to Hell-in-a-handbasket. What kills me is that the people themselves WANT these laws so that they can do less in their oh-so-busy lives. Give me a break. What made the United States of America great is that we had the Freedom of Choice, note the word 'had.' If I wanted to take my life in my hands and drive down the street without wearing my seat belt then it was MY choice to do so. My individual right.

Keeping children safe? What happened to the good old days when PARENTS KEPT THEIR CHILDREN SAFE. What, now we have to have LAWS to take the place of parents?
Lawmakers tug at the heartstrings by using lines like, "It's all for the good (safety, etc.) of the people." Yeah, Hitler said that, too. Next thing you know we'll be burning piles of books in the middle of the street while the local Gestapo comes breaking down our front door to see our State-given ID Cards.

Only then will people realize what they've done.

Unfortunately, then will be too late.

Website of interest; this one's pretty good if you're paranoid, like me ;-)

Donna says, "What really gets me is that everyone is mad at Israel! They didn't start it. They have every right to defend their stste and I don't care how many civilians they kill. Hamas needs to get a life."

The funny thing is...that IS Hamas' life! Trying to destroy Israel is their life!! They're like The Terminator, "They can't be bargained with! They can't be reasoned with! They don't feel pain or pity or remorse and they will not stop EVER until Israel is dead!" Well, they do feel pain when those Israeli bullets turn their bodies to swiss cheese but you get my point.

They have about as much chance of destroying Israel as I have of becoming President of the United States!
