The Old Folks Home

I'm with you too but I can see where busybodies want to make sure the young and elderly are properly taken care of. I don't think they need to interfere as much as they do but sometimes it's needed. They just don't know when to stop. Back in the pioneer days, the neighbors were to busy tending to their own problems to bother much with other peoples business but it was left up to their families to make sure kids were take care of. I didn't say elderly because the elderly didn't usually live that long after their hard lives.

Of course, handling sewage properly and keeping it away from the drinking water wells contributed enormously to the essential disappearance of typhoid, cholera, and dysentery - along with a number of other fun diseases, including Hepatitis A - in the developed world.

So if someones improperly wired electrical system caused a fire that burned down your chicken coop or your home then you wouldn't have a problem with that ? Or if it happened on a windy day and it burned down a whole block of homes that would be fine also ?
How many people have seen posts on here where the electric has burned down someones chicken coop, killing all the chickens ? But you don't want to ask people to have proper electric.

I worked as a programmer in high technology. Even in that supposedly knowledgeable contingent we had some incredibly dangerous things done with electricity.

Gosh darn it. 500 posts behind.

I got a glimpse. What exactly were the Floridians busted for? Did the report come from credible news or was it Fox or Facebook?

Probably Rachel Maddow.

You forgot the list of those who think humans do contribute to global warming.

The post was in response to the individual who noted that he hadn't really heard any scientific evidence that suggested global warming wasn't a human caused problem; so I posted it to give him a place to look.

Have you ever considered using a passenger freighter instead of an airliner when you travel between the US and the Phillipines? Although freighters burn bunker oil, they are far less polluting per pound of passenger or freight than an airliner.

Just saying.

And other news sources like " off the grid news", and "American freedom fighter"

That's more likely than the Duke of Sandwich.

That was the Earl of Sandwich.

Any idea who is funding their research?

Well, you could just look them up on Wikipedia, and follow the links to their curriculum vitae and see where their research grants have come from. Or you can look up their articles and see who did the funding.

The research is probably being funded by a cabal composed of Satan, Santa Claus and Greenlanders for Global Warming, in league with Montanans for Global Warming to as part of a campaign to persuade us all that climate change is imaginary so they can establish a global banana and pineapple plantation monopoly.

You forgot Oprah.

Most of the hate against hemp stems from heavy lobbying from the cotton industry to outlaw hemp a long time ago. Or at least that's my understanding.

Oz, "articles" might be an overstatement...

Actually, it looks like marijuana and hemp were made illegal due to a bad case of crony capitalism. Even the AMA opposed the law because cannabis had medical uses and had been used to treat some very prominent people (Queen Victoria smoked it for menstrual cramps.)
