This one of coyotes is perhaps a little long?There is no perfect solution, including renewable energy. Wind and solar power are a great direction when compared with coal, but they can cause environmental problems of their own - which means they should be approached with all the wisdom and care we did not use with our store of hydrocarbons. There is no way the flows of the natural world can replace all the loss from hydrocarbon depletion and allow us to continue the party - looking for "green" ways to continue an insane consumption level is a contradiction. Our switch to renewable energy sources must be accompanied by a reduction in consumption, and with full regard for all the environmental consequences we can identify, and every effort made to minimize or eliminate them. Or it will all end in sorrow. At this late hour, there is no solution we can find for our gluttony that will not cause more problems for us. Perhaps that's been true for a while now. But it's becoming more apparent all the time, isn't it?
Yes, usually a shorter one is preferred, such as: 'I want my mommy', or, 'I give up' ... something short, crisp, and to-the-point, as we generally offer everyone in the MQ section.
But in this case, which is clearly an exception as everyone here knows, a few more words were used because our dear friend coyote offered something unusually brilliant. And it's very poor taste to edit and hack at something that delicious.
So ... I invite you to ponder up something shorter for the next one.
Okay let me think here... a quote. I had one selected before on here, but I don't remember that one...
How about this.
I blame the Israeli government, but I love the jews!!!
no?
Fat people serve as a good source of heat. The oily substance comprising their systems can be burnt to heat a small home for days.
no? a little to visual perhaps?
I was really happy while I bought my new Honda generator yesterday. It seems strange that my happiest consumer moments are when I am buying stuff that prepares me for the collapse of civilization.
a little long?
