Work less to save the environment. It's a slogan I can get behind.  :laugh:

But with all those folks running around enjoying life won't CO2 emissions rise?

And based on a news report I heard the other day, social loafing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_loafing accounts for 60% - 80% of worker time as it is.  Can you imagine what levels productivity would rise to if workers knew they could goof off on their own time?  Increase productivity and the polar bears drown - Algore told us so.

But the liberals want us to be more like the Europeans.  The choice seems to be between shorter work hours with less pay but more benefits paid for by higher taxes, or regularly scheduled wars.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
