Kill all you want. He'd just like to know what you are going to do when gas is $8.00 a gallon and the only cars the government will let you buy are electric hybrids that cost $60,000 and fall apart in a couple of years from corrosion. But, you'll be able to bathe in pristine Pacific waters (except of course for the garbage floating over from China). Plus, you won't be allowed to set your thermostat above 60F in winter or below 80F in summer. Want to buy food? Bring megabucks, because the whole world is growing corn for ethanol instead of food. Try to get used to SADD-causing fluorescents because incandescents are outlawed. Don't even think of growing a plant outdoors - watering is not allowed. In fact, in dry states, personal showers are limited to once a week. Yep, it'll be an envirofascist heaven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-88090158788604022592008-05-10T00:44:00.000-06:002008-05-10T00:44:00.000-06:00"The reason that grand jury information is not rel...<I>"The reason that grand jury information is not released is to protect the reputation of people who are investigated but not prosecuted."</I><BR/><BR/>The grand jurors are alleging wrongdoing by the prosecutors, not the defendants.

However, with a blog administrator not even resident in NM, and never an employee of LANL, this is unlikely. However, regardless of the initial post, the subject of most threads gets aroung to LANL stuff. Eventually, Frank will give this up since he must be starting to realize he is out of touch with the concerns of LANL employees. He actually doesn't have a clue. The tone, not to say the spirit, of this blog can't hold a candle to its predecessors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-13935436783669550092008-05-07T20:56:00.000-06:002008-05-07T20:56:00.000-06:00To 7:19, why do you continue to read the enviro-st...To 7:19, why do you continue to read the enviro-stories, if you are so tired of them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-35194121683673157792008-05-07T19:19:00.000-06:002008-05-07T19:19:00.000-06:00It is an environmental thing.
