I probably should apologize to the list for sending a more-or-less political post...while I ;m sure many of us laughed about how ridiculous the proposal seems, we need to understand how seriously some politicians are taking this, and other crazy ideas. The subject line was the one that came with the post............ I do think someone in a position to do so should let Jay Leno, David Letterman, and SNL know about this proposal...I'm sure they can make something hysterical about politiicans measuring livestock emissions -- and maybe even emissions from Boxers and other dogs known for flatulence........... Again, while I hate to get into politics here, if you have kept track at all, you have to realize that proposals advancing the AR agenda, particularly MSN, have found acceptance straight down party lines. The ARistas will probably try even more insane proposals than we've ever seen before, now that they have "their" people are in office --- just think --Henry Waxman was able to unseat Dingell as Chairman of the very powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee. Waxman is a clone of Lloyd Levine....a real looneybird. He represents a district that includes Hollywood --- think of all those PETA friendly celebrities he represents. Well, he now has the kind of power necessary to push this kind of legislation.................it's all very scary.
