I would like to know what kind of computer you use and what it is made out of? Linen fibers? Wood? Also, what power source do you use to run your computer? I gather you don't use electricity either - good for you! So I guess you can only type on your low-carbon fingerprint computer during daylight hours. I'm serious - please tell me how you manage it. donjo – I applaud your rejection of shoes.

Apparently, it was a 10th grade level speech, and it "went over the head of most of the audience." Please...my collies understood it, and they are so dumb they are at this moment growling at my printer, which is off, because it's not where it was yesterday. "Too professorial" is the phrase the language guru said. I guess no one told him that Obama was never a "Constitutional law professor", he was a lecturer, and a lazy one, at that.

I go barefoot too, except in stores and other places where shoes are expected to be worn. I live in FL where barefoot is more comfortable for me. I also use very little gasoline, being a person of old habits. I still do all that stuff that Jimmy Carter asked us to do, combine errands, etc. I only use 1 3/4 tanks of gas a<i> month</i>, and the 3/4 extra is due to my trips to the doctor for chemo and blood tests. Before those trips became necessary, I got through a month on one tank of gas. My car gets 36 mpg. I don't leave lights on unless I am using them, I keep the AC set at 78, etc. I use canvas shopping bags which I take to the store with me, and ask for paper if I need another bag, or need something wrapped for insulation. With the heat index above 100 daily, ice cream and frozen foods need the extra insulation for the 30 mile trip home from the Winn Dixie. I do have feed and hay delivered, but only because the number of trips in my little car to pick them up would use more gas than the one delivery a month by the truck. But I don't go around claiming to be saving the planet because of my conservation habits. I am simply doing my bit to save energy, and I have been doing that bit since Carter was president. Just out of curiosity, how long have you been barefoot and conserving?? More or less than 30 years?? Just askin'!! donjo, you really are irritatingly self-righteous.

I find that demeaning and an insult to all those that fought so hard for equality. Now many liberals want to make them less than equal. To me that seems like bigotry <em>and</em> condescencion. I have two very good "girlfriends" who have more melanin in their skins than I do. Hell, I'm so white I wonder if I have any. Barb, who is a Latina and Dee, who is AA are strong, smart, tough women that don't need any coddling from anyone.  Give them a level playing field and get the hell out of their way. They aren't "victims", they are the equal of anyone they encounter.  I love them as the <em>sister/friends </em>they have been to me for so many years.   I am ready to take on anyone, anytime, anyplace that demeans them by treating them as if they were some kind of delicate flowers. Those two "delicate flowers", and this paleskin are ready to kick anyone's ass that condescends to us. I personally may have to request that the ass be lowered because I can't kick as high as I once could.

It seems BP has just turned the GOM into a cesspool of oil that may eventually end up in GB.  But we can still enjoy our little luxuries.  According to Russian geologists, (what do they know?) the GOM sea bed is perhaps the most unstable and unpredictable areas on the planet.  They've examined the area, apparently, and say there's more oil already flowing out of cracks several miles away. It was totally asinine to let BP drill this well. The curse of fossil fuels may eventually turn us all into fossils. BTW, the latest in running fads is to toss the Nikes and to go barefoot.  Better for the feet and legs, as it's a natural motion. However, runners cheat by wearing a thin rubber shoe to keep out little rocks and other debris. I had a friend just complete a marathon in this semi-barefoot fashion.
