Your Questions About Green Living

I can’t tell whether I’m Republican or Democrat. Help?

On social issues, I usually side with Conservatives, except with the gay marriage thing. If there’s a separation of church and state, then religion can’t play a part in choosing our policies as a nation & in the future, a religion other than Christianity may attempt to dominate American politics. I side with the Democrats on most environmental issues, but I think if we have oil, here in America, we should start digging for it. Now, the War in Iraq. I think dictators who disregard the peoples concerns should be put out of power, but if we’re killing innocent people all the time, I don’t think we should stay there any longer. If we’re doing that, then it’s an abuse of power. At the same time, Hitler came to power at the same time America was practicing isolationism and the Holocaust killed millions of Jews, gay people, etc. & you hear different stories from every news station, etc. How do you know who to believe?
But then, Democrats seem like they’re here to serve the will of the minority. It seems like they try to hard not to offend people.

Please help me revise a speech for the election!?

It’s really bad! Be as critical as possible without being mean!
Candidates’ Environmental Plans

Polar bears are going extinct because of the melting ice burgs. The temperature is increasing 5°C every century. Global warming is causing the ozone layer, Earth’s protection against the sun’s harmful rays, to become weaker. These dilemmas are all part of one issue in our election: the environment . Both candidates devised plans to improve the environment in our country. Their plans will cover pollution, alternative energies and fuels, drilling for oil, cars, greenhouse gas emissions, green jobs, and much more. Both candidates acknowledge the fact that human pollution is a significant cause of global warming, but who has the best plan to help solve that and other problems? Barack Obama and John McCain have very different views on this subject.
Senator Obama has a very strong environmental plan. He is very supportive in investments in alternative forms of energy. He plans to spend $150 billion in environmental– friendly energies and fuels in the next ten years. I’m pleased that he is putting so much devotion in alternative energy, but where does that “investment” come from? Inevitably , some of that mammoth amount will have to come from our taxes. This democrat will produce new businesses working on wind, solar, and bio-fuels, along with millions of new “green” jobs. That will help the economy immensely. Barack Obama says 1 million hybrid cars will be running by 2050 if he becomes president. They run on batteries, and don’t require gas. Also, by 2012, 10% of electricity will be renewable, and greenhouse gases will be lowered 80% by 2050. He will try to eliminate oil imports from the Middle East within ten years. This means less taxes on gas. He mostly opposes drilling for oil domestically, but might do it as a last resort. He is neutral on nuclear energy, since it would be very expensive. Also, Barack Obama will require all cars to meet fuel efficiency expectations, so it will take less fuel to fill up American’s tanks. He supports the protection of natural places from development, which I believe all Americans should do. Humans have already destroyed the homes of too many animals. However, the senator is neutral on schemes to help save endangered species from extinction. In my opinion, this is despicable. We should transfer the energy and effort we put into unimportant matters to helping our fellow animals live happy lives and flourish. Although Barack Obama’s plan is wonderful, do they measure up to John McCain’s?
John McCain has a well- developed solution to the environmental issue. His energy plan is called the Lexington Project. This plan will help America break dependency with foreign oil, improve transportation, promote energy efficiency, and help global warming. McCain states, “In a world of hostile and unstable suppliers of oil, this nation will achieve strategic independence by 2025.” McCain will reward people who buy clean cars. The “Clean Car Challenge” will provide a $5000 tax credit to any purchaser of a zero carbon emission car. Also, he will require automakers to switch to flex fuel, which lasts longer and is better for the environment than regular fuel. He will use and create new alternative energies and fuels, but won’t make investments as large as his opponent. He strongly supports nuclear energy, unlike Barack Obama. He says it is very safe; the military has been using it for years. John McCain also plans to drill for oil in Alaska. This will lower prices in ten years. The republican says it is a long process that will pay off in the end. Although it would be helpful, there is a chance it can result in a lot of pollution if the oil spills. To people concerned about that, Senator McCain says that the ships are very secure, so a spill would be unlikely. He plans to drill in the National Petroleum Reserve, but not in the Artic Wildlife Refuge. I believe that both of these places should be left untouched. They are protected for a reason; they’re pristine and beautiful in every way. John McCain will lower greenhouse gas emissions 50- 60% by 2050, 30- 20% less than Barack Obama plans to lower it. As you can see, McCain also has a well- thought out energy/ environment plan.
Now that you know each candidate’s methods to improve the environment, it is time for you to make the decision: Barack Obama or John McCain? You are not only voting for president, you are voting for the course of action to put an end to global warming, prevent pollution, fuel our cars, saves the polar bears, and much more. It is a very critical time, and everybody needs to use their voice. Vote 2008!

thank you!
So, it would be “increasing 5 degrees C (41 degrees F)”?
I know I kept on repeating words, so can you tell me what words I repeated the most, and good words to replace it?

Do Women Enjoy Chikan?

Not “chicken” Chikan.
Countries like Japan are years ahead of the United States not only in terms of product innovation, and environmental issues, they are also well ahead of us in the area of Chikan. What steps should the government take to increase awareness and make Chikan more widespread here in America?
I love both chicken and Chikan, I am dying to get my hands on a few pieces of breast and thighs.

Can you freely legally send soil internationally without having to get some kind of permit or something?

I’m from Ireland. A distant relative of mine died in America, I didn’t know him, just kinda knew of him. Anyway, his great grandparents emigrated from Ireland years ago, and settled in America.

My dad is a farmer, and this man’s family know this, so they asked him to send some soil over to them so they can toss it on the casket, as a kind of symbolic thing(!!!).

I was just wondering, could you send some soil to a different country freely, without declaring it, or could there be a problem, I don’t know, like because of environmental protection issues or something?!?!

I know this question might sound a bit weird, but I don’t want to be arrested or anything for sending something into a country thats not meant to be there!!!

Are Americans being fleeced??? Amongst all the political turmoil…?

…fragmenting our rapidly declining republic, has any one thought that these problems might be being propagated by others? Some what like a child playing his/her parents & siblings against one another. I keep coming back to a rather dubious individual, albeit a smart one for sure who coined the following phrase…”LOGIC for the individual, EMOTION for the masses”(Adolph Hitler cir cu 1934). The same socialist mentality that ushered in “Dolph & the boys” into Deutschland seems alive & well in America today. EMOTIONAL SENSATIONALISM seems to be what is the HOT seller on our major managed news media of today. Gun control, gender issues, PC speech, hate crimes, political backed environmental issues, age issues, alternative life styles, wealth desparity & needed social programs seem to attract people like moths to a light. Ironically Hitler CAMPAIGNED on PRECISELY the above mentioned issues leading up to his election as chancellor of Germany in 1933! See a PATTERN here folks???
