Not to pick on Republicans (in by book, both parties are just wings of the Corporatista Party), but I recently scored some flooded cell nickel cadmium batteries thanks to such stupidity. A forward-looking regional government installed an electric bus system, then were voted out of office, then their right-wing replacement scrapped the electric busses (must under two years old) and bought diesel busses. (I believe this additional expenditure was made to get the sunken amortized cost of the electric busses off the budget. Sigh.) And so I got NiCds for my conversion for seven cents on the dollar! Is this a wunnerful system, or what? :::: Any feelings of negativity that you carry around are only hurting yourself. These feelings are stored in your body and become like a rotting core of energy that poisons your every moment. Why encumber yourself with feelings of anger, hatred, and thirst for revenge? Any negative feelings you harbor do not hurt the person they are directed to; these feelings only hurt the person who is carrying them — YOU. -- Marie T.
