A friend posted a blog, inspired by another blogger, of things she's mad at. So I'm going to do same. Google if you'd like, I'll add links tomorrow. Maybe. And more explanation. Maybe.
1. The federal government offering carbon offsets in what amounts to a subsidy to the forestry industry. And carbon offsets in general as an alternative to just cutting consumption.
2. Blaming China for substandard imports.
3. People who blame immigrants for their joblessness while they shop at Walmart.
4. Americans for allowing "Dancing With Celebrities" to survive but "Firefly" to fail.
5. Bottled water and diamonds.
6. Pharmaceutical ads being allowed on television and print, but bans on tobacco ads, alcohol ads, and marijuana in general (and I don't smoke pot).
7. Ethanol.
8. Zero tolerance in schools, which infantalizes our children.
9. NCLB, which still allows for the exclusion of undesirables but lowers everyone's education to the lowest common denominator as well.
10. Iraq being associated with 9/11.
11. Bush's ubiquitous smirk.
12. Our inability to think beyond energy alternatives instead of energy reduction.
13. "Hate crimes."
14. Religion as a basis for violence more often than a basis for love.
15. Anyone who would hurt a child.
17. The mindset that we deserve without merit or are entitled to anything without action.
18. Democrats.
19. My friend who continues to believe that the solution to her debt problem is to take on more debt.
That's about it for the moment, more tomorrow probably.
