Shad O'Shay - 12 Aug 2009 23:37 GMT
I love it because I've been reading about the dire straits the RV industry's
in. Lots of manufacturers have already gone bankrupt and shut the factories
for good. Others are in Chapter 11 and 13 and probably won't survive much
longer.

This is good news to me. The fewer of these ugly, behemoth pollution
factories on the road endangering my bicycle training rides and ruining the
fresh air the better I like it. Now all we need is a double whammy. We need
gasoline and diesel up to around five bucks a gallon and most of the RVs
will just stay parked.

Go Cap and Trade legislation! Put a huge tax on fuel so it's way above five
bucks a gallon. It's good for the environment and better for cyclists in
many ways. I love Obama. He's gonna have it fixed so almost everybody has to
ride bikes.

With the Baby Boomers retiring like crazy now,  and gas prices staying
down, and with RV's being a very viable way to live cheapily....the RV
industry will be making a comeback...and especially if Obama finds
favor with this Industry.   Im afraid theres going to be alot of RV's
sharing the road with Bikers Shad . Lets all get along . A truce in
order ; yes ???

Boy!! are you ever clueless. Gas prices are NOT staying down. They've
managed to work themselves up to about 3 bucks a gallon many places. And
they'll go higher unless we "drill baby drill." That ain't gonna happen. The
Obama administration won't allow drilling. But they WILL push for the Cap
and Trade law. This will definitely drive the cost of energy through the
roof. Look for ten dollar a gallon gasoline and diesel by 2015 if Cap and
Trade passes. Look for your electric bill, heating bill, cable bill, grocery
bill, etc all go through the roof. Everything produced uses energy and when
energy is taxed everything's gonna go up skyhigh.

As for RVs being used by boomers to live in that ain't gonna happen either.
You don't live cheaply in an RV on the move. You can park them and live in
them pretty cheaply but boomers expect to live in large homes with all the
conveniences. RV living is too much like camping out. Boomers are too
selfish and spoiled to live like that. Most of em are way outta shape and
need to be close to an emergency room. You know the drill. Strokes and heart
failure . . .

Bye bye RVs! (Good riddance!)

It is true that the Communist Obama is ruining America, but he won't be
President forever.
He may already have AIDS or something, and things will get better.

Gas prices have gone up because of the week dollar.  You can't fix
that with an oil drill rig.  All drilling will do is line the pockets
of the oil industry.  We need to support american industry.  Buy
america and save america.

i wonder why he says nuclear energy is ok for iran, but *NOT* for the us....
heck isn't it green/non carbon creating? can't industry work off nuclear
created power? come to think of it, isn't nuclear power an industry?
shouldn't we support american industry?

Why is it that drilling for oil is ok in the gulf for Cuba, Russia,
Venezuela, etc but not for us?  Is their spilled oil better'n ours?

One very serious problem with nuclear power (all the fear mongering
about accidents aside) is that the water demands for cooling the reactor
are tremendous, and the "spent" water, when returned to the environment,
is returned at a higher temperature than it was when extracted.  That
can have profound effects on marine life, for example.

Yeppers - it makes for great fishing!

BTW, fuel-burning electrical generating plants also produce heated water
(that's what they burn the fuel to provide) that is cooled in ponds that are
often stocked with gamefish. <g>

As long as there are fish.

Here in Florida the Manatees like the warmer water and
when it gets cold enough they can be found in warm water
outlets coming from power plants.  Here also the red
snapper is threatened also so we expect there will be a
lot written about that also.  I think we are depleting
the stocks of fish and lots of other things also.

You think what "we" are depleting the stocks of fish.  Can you
elaborate?

Thank you.  I would agree but just how do the worlds governments go
about controlling?

Don't know if there is a way other than controlling fishing in waters
by the respective countries.  Maybe fish farming where eggs are taken
from fish caught and then raised in hatcheries.  We are doing
something similar with turtles by protecting their nesting areas, but
then that is easier on land than the ocean. Control catches but that
requires the countries agree on preservation of the species.  There
will always be some that won't abide by the law but the penalties if
stiff enough could deter most.  They do a good job with salmon and
trout here so I would assume it could work, but people will have to
believe there is really a shortage of them.  There are so many
conflicting stories who knows which are correct.

IMHO, this is where the UN could be of use but, as usual, they are
impotent.  A UN sanction of, say, no vote for 2 years as a beginning
might be sufficient.  I don't know but to date the UN has accomplished
nothing in its 62 years but take OUR money and bash us.

In Oahu we used to swim at Kahe Pt. where the electric power plant
discharges warm water into the ocean.  Made for some great warm water
swimming.  I don't remember seeing any fish but once in a while we
would get swarms of sharks seeking warm water.  They were small sharks
and they didn't bother us.  The haole tourists would quickly vacate
the waters though.

Ok, then he won't get upset that I tell everyone that he smells bicycle
seats at Starbucks before he goes in for his latte. He likes to know if
anyone he knows is already there.

His mother also bays at the moon.

Most of us do not know.  Somebody posted "his" Obit then somebody also
started the same old drivel with that name.  The only reason I don't
KF him is that it's easier to see him post them just kill the thread.

Do you know how they separate the men from the boys at a bicycle rally?

With a crowbar.
