Don't blame the other nations for walking out on climate talks.


Before I get in to deep, I just want to say I love America and I don't want to live anywhere else. Now, who in the hell do these dumbass politicians, or lobbyist, or whoever it is representing us in the climate talks think they are by telling other countries to stop using so much fossil fuels. We use more than anybody. America and the other fortunate, wealthy countries have alot to learn from the less industrialized countries on fossil fuel consumption. They aren't industrialized so they don't use that much. Even the ones like Brazil that are becoming a major player get most of their power from renewable energy. They got pissed off in the 70s when gas prices were outrageous and now make therir gas out of sugar cane. These countries have every right to walk out. Until renewable energy is cheaper, fossil fuels will still be king and there is no way around it. I guess another point we are trying to make is that these less fortunate countries need to stop cutting down forrests. The point they are trying to make is they make more money by turning these forrests into farmland and they need the money. Nobody is going to take us seriously untol we lead by example. I myself would love to have my house covered with solar panels to keep these blood sucking energy companies from sending me $400 electric bills, but I can't afford them. Being the planet's police is what these other countries hate about us. We can't keep our nose out of other people's business.

The BCS stands for "Bowl of Corporate Shit"

For years now we have had to endure this outrageous scam from the BCS that is supposed to put the top 2 teams together for the National Championship. I think they have got it right a couple of times, but for the most part they have failed miserably. There are great college football programs that go undefeated and and still don't get to play for the championship. This year, their are 5 undefeated teams and only two of them get to compete for the title. That whole bunch of garbage that says the regular season is a playoff is crazy. This is the most popular and profitable college sport and yet it is the only major college sport that doesn't have a playoff system. I do send out my congrats to Texas and Alabama, but Boise State, Cincinatti, and TCU also need a chance to prove they are the best. What does the BCS do to solve this? They make Boise State and TCU replay last year's Poinsetta Bowl at the Fiesta Bowl. Aren't they suppose to pair them up with a powerhouse like Florida or another top 10 team from a major conference to prove their relevancy. They did a couple of years ago when Boise State beat Oklahoma. I guess that was to much for them and made them realize their system is flawed. Cincy went undefeated andwon the BIG East and are still left out of the championship game. The same went for Auburn's undefeated season a few years back. I found an article that says it all and I can't wait for the author's book to come out. It will detail all of the big business and lobbying that the BCS has for their system. Here is a link to that article http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-ncaafplayoff120709&prov=yhoo&type=lgns. This article also shows how easy it would be to have a playoff system and still have bowl games. Read it and see what you think.
