Thanks NJ. Yes, I'm writing in a hurry... and I've made a few mistakes as my son is pulling my ear as well trying to get me to put in the password for xfinity so he can watch comics. pubby

RonDavis is leading Freeman by a factor of 2:1 and unless thereis a turnaround, looks to win re-election to Post 1. I

Surepip: I think the shine on Diesel powered vehicles was tarnished a bit when Volkswagen had to admit that they had installed a separate testing routine in their computers that was designed to cover up some unacceptable levels of pollution inherent in diesel fueled vehicles. I.e. they aren't as clean as they were promised to be and the vehicles run inordinately bad when tuned to for pollution. I also think that ethanol-based/laced fuel is a short-lived bridge technology as combustion will be phased from production in the coming decade(s) first with hybrid but also with pure-play elec

Yes, you are mistaken. That reference was in regard to the Cobb EMC BOD that effectively privatized the EMC by establishing a company they controlled and contracting with it so they could take individual profit from this 'new' company that was just 'adding' their slice to the cost that Cobb EMC members paid. Because the EMC was now at break-even or losing money (more for them) there were no more member dividends. In essence they were stealing the banked member dividends. If you missed that, it was quite a big deal three or was it five years ago. I really hate it when fol

I got you... don't rock the boat. Don't say nothing because we conservatives who run this state are perfect. I don't feel guilty ... I just feel you folks are blind to reality. pubby

Hardly Stonewall. I've been a member of no fewer than four electric coops and I'm quite aware of their history as liberally inspired institutions created by and during the New Deal for the benefit of rural dwellers. Like most institutions they are subject to 'capture' ... you know greedy bastards taking over the institution for their own benefit... kind of like the state of Georgia. You know, kind of like what happened to Cobb EMC a few years back. But, as a matter of fact, I've been a shareholder of Southern Company as well as a member of, at present and if you count the account

I don't know dogs ... you folks have been less than welcoming to a lot of other folks too ... seems the folks you try to run off are those who don't agree with you. I've been going toe to toe with you folks because I have a belief that pcom should be for everyone. It has been painfully obvious to many that my desire for it to be that way was usurped by a cadre of folks who disagree and show their disagreement by being disagreeable. So, let me ask you this dogs ... why are you so disagreeable? pubby

GD: I appreciate your evolving to such a high degree of equality but I doubt your assertion that things are that hunky dory in everyones mind. to wit: Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.

What we have here is a failure to communicate. What I've said all along is that we are all racists whether we admit it or not. The number of pure 'non-racists' souls among those of us who grew up in the south is miniscule as we are all the product of our culture. I've always contended that GD and Stradial et. al. took that observation too personally. Either that or this is a concerted effort to deny me the option to have that as an opinion. I can't tell which but I'm actually leaning toward the latter explanation ... i.e. they've been trying to run me off my own site for going

The lobbyists for the power companies had the legislature write the law that lets them lease you their solar panels and they control the entire operation. There are discounts involved but compared to the cost/benefit accruing primarily to you (as in states where the power company is required to pay retail for the power you send them just as you pay retail for the power you get) they let you pay retail for the power you get and take a smaller portion - somewhat less than the wholesale value of the energy generated - of the value from the solar installation on your home/property. If you fin

Let me take the same liberty with what you've said I've said and I'll say you are too stupid to speak in public. You think domestic violence is the right of a man over a woman and you like booting women in the ass because you are a buffoon that is so full of yourself you think you're funny because people are actually laughing at you. Can you believe that stradial actually thought he had a shot of being a human being rather than a neaderthal. That is how delusional he is. Notice he's blaming me for what the mods did ... Hey stradial, have you always been such a sour person? I will

Actually it does make sense. The reason is that it is hard to picture burning anything in a barrel as recreational burning, which is permissible. Get a burn pit or something that appears to be a fun way to burn - i.e. a brick BBQ pit, etc. and burn your papers. You are not allowed to burn household trash and while paper can be a part of household trash, it can also be an easily combustible item. The main thing is to keep the fire relatively small and make sure things are fully burned (little or no smoke) as copious amount of smoke are a bother to neighbors who will report you.
