climate change?

I am now paying $9 for one chicken. Why? Because we are turning our food into fuel. Corn has been chosen by Al Gore as the fuel of choice. Without any background in the science of alternative fuels, corn was chosen because the corn lobby and the large corn farms saw a way to increase their profits. I am sure if a hard search is done, one can follow a money trail from the corn growers associations right to Al's bank account. This man is dangerous. Since his affectivness was marginalized after the 2000 election, he has struggled to find a voice. He took new, emerging data about a tempurature increase and turned it into the biggest scam in the past 50 years. He has turned a deaf ear to any contradictory data, lableing new data as junk science and persisited in perpatrating this farce on the world. Our basic costs of living are going up due to the head long rush into going green, without any study or experimentation into the causes and effects. In his mind, the ends justify the means.
We are being inundated daily with public service announcements telling us how easy it is to "go green". Change a light bulb. Turn off the water when brushing our teeth. That one is good. Every American can save 750 gallons of water by turning off the tap? Wash clothes in cold water, reducing carbon emmisions by 700+tons a year. Show me the proof. Statements are made without any backing and we are supposed to just buy this.
Americans questioned the decisions of the '60s. Today we accept what we are told? Not me. Not today. Question what we are told. Ask why, how, and show me the proof of what you are saying, don't just tell me.

Is all this really necessary?

Taxes. Why is it that the local citizens give the government carte blanche when it comes to taking our money? I have found that the governments take under the guise of "public good" when very little of it manifests in any way that can be seen as public good. Granted we need schools, roads, in-frastructure and, nationally a strong military, but enough is enough.
It strikes me as odd that when a local, state, or federal agency wants to do something and there is no money, the taxes go up. When I need a pay raise, I have to beg for one and then if it is granted, get the barest minimum just to make me happy.
Our state has a $900,000,000 surplus. That is enough money to give each person in Arkansas a rebate of $1,500. The state sat down last year, projected the budget, which is the money the legislature said they needed to provide services at the current level and adjusted departmental budgets to fit. Low and behold, the tax revenues were nine hundred million dollars more than they said they needed. If I get extra money in my paycheck, I can bet you that I will be required to pay the money back. Well it is time we demand our money back. The state got overpaid. Many states and locals got overpaid. We as taxpayers need to demand our money back. We need to remind the governments that they work for us, not the other way around. Fight any tax increase. Vote no on any bond issue, tax issue or millage increase. Say no to the politicians that use "it's for the children", "it's for our future" or any other pull for our money.
Thats it. I doubt anything will change, but who knows. If enough of us say, "NO MORE", than maybe, just maybe it will.
