That had to be one of the more asinine position pieces I've read in a while.

On 1, it's the antithesis of true conservatism. It's why a lot of catholics are democrat--because they believe there's some obligation to the community that conservatives don't wish to impose. Unless, of course, conservatives now are becoming communitarians.

On 2, all that is is providing incentives for people to engage in conduct they otherwise wouldn't. BP and Shell pursue alternative energy because there are subsidies to do so, or because they see a market. If the latter, what needs to be done? If the former, well, other than massive pork, when were R's in favor of subsidies?

On 3, see 2.

So, he talks all nice, but what it comes down to is this: If the free market provides incentives to protect the environment, then people will. If the market does not, then they should do it out of the goodness of their heart. Well, it's pretty clear only Al Gore does things out of the goodness of his heart, so that's not a very viable solution.

There's triangulation... That gibberish was hexagonalization. Crap - incoherent semantic noodling with no conclusion.

Do you feel your (and maybe Spanky's) special territory has been violated?

Agreed, but "affordability" and "importance" aren't on the same page in the Thesaurus...

Even Bush's thesaurus.

Re aimless noodling, I am the Jerry Garcia of absurd arguments here. Spanky is a Bob Weir who's trying, but try as he likes, he's too smart to fall into the microphone and fart audibly during pause in a song. I still have to bring him home... Though sometimes Slave kicks out the jams and saves us both.

You're dating a cute little hippie chick? I guess you bond over Buckley's view on marijuana legalization?

Look, I love Slave like a jackbooted fascist brother, but he's no Pigpen.

Wave that flag. Wave it wide and high.

BTW, my liver might disagree with you.

You can't see him all ripped and flailing through a "Caution (Do Not Step on Tracks)"? It's the equivalent of what he does here...

BTW, I didn't mean to suggest Spanky wears short shorts with the Bobby reference.

Or that he fancies "Corinna."

Even if he wanted to fuck me, Spanky's ineligible.
