[FairfieldLife] Re: What's Up With That?
As I understand it, the working conditions for those involved in making reusable grocery bags is deplorable. Make sure yours are made in the USA. Additionally, unwashed canvas bags might be a serious disease vector, due to the fact that multiple people slide their (unwashed?) hands in and out of your bags and other people's dirty bags - all day long. They need to be washed frequently to be safe.. which probably just shifts the environmental damage somewhere else. I don't use them for this reason. I'm hoping stores will switch to a new form of bioplastic bags made from plant starch (corn, potato) that can be composted without special treatment. The currently available versions, don't compost easily outside of a commercial composter.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: What's Up With That?
We use a canvas bag too, but clearly, the idea that plastic bag bans save money and the environment is a fantasy. And, even if you do use a canvas bag you'll still have to pay over $35.00 for a trash can pickup.Here's the rub - the rent is too damn high!

Yes, our security is marked by incompetence. I don't know if you're aware of the author Robert Baer, but he has a few books out regarding his experiences in the CIA during the 80's and 90's. If you read his books, you'll see that the CIA lost almost all of its best agents at gathering information in foreign countries during the 90's. He claims the reason is because careerism and political correctness began to overtake the whole system. People who could not do their job were hired for 'politically correct' reasons. Women, and people of all races would be hired in order to have a balanced group of individuals, regardless of their overall ability to perform. Meanwhile, many people who were really good agents resigned because they were disgusted with how the system was working. I can say the same is true with the armed forces as well. The armed forces have turned into a career factory rather than defense force. It often strikes me as funny that the republicans praise the military so much. It seems they don't realize there are so many in the military who try very little to win the war, but rather try to achieve the next rank and retire with a successful career.

And they seem to be jumping on the underpants bomber incident as an opportunity (if they didn't stage it in the first place) to make the country even more a police state with even more draconian laws. Are they trying to drive the airlines out of business? That said my only experience with the TSA wasn't all that bad. I recall trying to take my driver's license out of the folder in my wallet and the agent said ah, you don't need to do that and on the return trip I forgot I had my cellphone clipped on my pants which set off the alarm going through the thing and the manager asked that's probably your phone. Here, let me run it through for you. IOW, there are actually some TSA agents who don't want to look like assholes. I'm less worried about the TSA than I am about corporatism sponsored by the yuppie MBAs who are doing it because we can. seekliberation wrote: Yes, our security is marked by incompetence.

But it's been the same for 25 years, even when it was legal to walk around with an open container. Drop or throw a bottle of beer and you'll be surrounded by police (on horseback in later hours of the evening) before the bottle hits the ground. I've seen amazing crowd control when there was hardly enough room to breath on 6th street it was so jammed with people partying. And drug consumption of all types from weed to X was heavy and people were falling over each other, drunk. Looks like Iowa City needs some instructions from APD. Just for contrast, I will compare a few places I've lived in in Europe to this endorsement of law and order. In Paris, it is difficult to walk more than a block without seeing a heavily-armed cop. And yet in the banlieues (suburbs) violence and gang activity still are rampant. Compare and contrast to Amsterdam and Sitges. In both cities, you can walk for *hours* without ever seeing a cop, even during festivals or fiestas when the streets are *packed* with revelers, many of them drunk or stoned. And both places have *very* little violent crime. It's not the visible presence of police that creates an absence of violence, it's an absence of violence that creates an absence of violence.

Draw your own conclusions about Leiberman's character after you watch him here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJTJbqKuDDM ** ON DEADLINE: Lieberman facing payback from Dems By WALTER R. MEARS, AP Special Correspondent Wed Sep 3, 6:05 AM ET ST. PAUL, Minn. - Joe Lieberman might have trouble getting a Senate parking pass next year. The Senate Democrats who control perks and, more importantly, committee chairmanships won't need his tie-breaking vote any longer. Democrats are on track to win a solid majority in the Nov. 4 elections, so time is running out on Lieberman's power as the senator whose vote kept them in control of a split Senate. Since Lieberman's re-election in Connecticut two years ago, when he ran as an independent and beat the Democratic nominee, they've had to tolerate his dissent from the party and now from its presidential ticket because his vote was crucial. That won't be so next year, and that's when the bill will come due for his effusive embrace of John McCain and his attacks on Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Lieberman was not in attack mode in his prime-time performance at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, chiding Obama but concentrating on praise of McCain in terms the Arizona senator likes to hear: independent, maverick, bipartisan. He called Obama a gifted and eloquent young man with a promising future. But eloquence is no substitute for a record not in these tough times, Lieberman said. He pitched a special appeal for McCain votes to independents and Democrats, saying his is the real ticket for change this year. I'm here, as a Democrat myself, to tell you: Don't be fooled, Lieberman said. While Lieberman has angered Democratic leaders, they haven't been able to do anything about it. Lieberman, who describes himself as an Independent Democrat, endorsed McCain for president on Dec. 17, 2007, when his friend was struggling for a comeback in the campaign for the Republican nomination. McCain called it a courageous act. At the time, Lieberman was asked whether he was concerned about Democratic punishment for his defection to the GOP candidate. I'm the 51st vote, he said, smiling. In a tied Senate, Democrats would have been the minority because Vice President Dick Cheney would have had the decisive vote. Now, 35 Senate seats are up for election, 23 of them currently held by Republicans. The Democrats are defending 12 seats. What's more, six Republican senators are retiring, leaving open seats that include prime targets for Democratic takeovers. So the odds are that the Democrats will gain a clear, perhaps commanding majority. After they do, it will be payback time for Lieberman unless McCain becomes president and he gets a Cabinet appointment. That would seem a likely reward from his old friend. Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D- Nev., said Tuesday: Sen. Reid was very disappointed in Sen. Lieberman's speech tonight, especially when he appeared to go out of his way to distort Sen. Obama's record of bipartisan achievements in the Senate. He can give all the partisan speeches he wants, but as the American people have made very clear, the last thing this country needs is another four years of the same old failed Bush-McCain policies of the past. Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000, sought the party's presidential nomination in 2004 but got nowhere. So he went back to the Senate, where his backing for President Bush's Iraq war policy made him enemies at home. Challenged by an anti-war candidate, Lieberman sought help from national Democrats, and one who delivered it was Obama, then an emerging political star. Obama told Connecticut Democrats on March 31, 2006, that he knew Lieberman's coziness with the Bush administration was the elephant in the room, but that they should nominate him for a fourth term anyhow, for his character, qualifications and abilities. He said Connecticut should have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the U.S. Senate. That's what happened, but only after Lieberman was defeated in the primary and ran as an independent candidate. Obama endorsed the Democratic nominee, Ned Lamont, in the general election. When the Illinois senator went to Connecticut to help him in the primary campaign, Lieberman called Obama a blessing for the Senate and for America. I look forward to helping him reach to the stars and realize not just the dreams he has for himself, but the

Read what I wrote again: Looks to me as if Vaj's comments here have some idiot's ego so out of joint that it's willing to fake a post from Vaj to discredit him. Ah, the things that people do in the name of belief... I carefully worded my reply to cover idiots on both sides of the fanatical fence. To me it seemed (and still seems) equally likely that someone from TM-Free (in other words, an anti-TM fanatic) did this as it is that some TM fanatic did it. But someone did it, and whoever it is, that person really, truly, no question about it qualifies as a fanatic.

I still want to know how Vaj posting his list of sutras would discredit him in the eyes of anyone except true believers anyway. And that would be redundant for me insomuch as I am a TBer and Vaj is discredited in my eyes.
