Penn and Teller: recycling

Here's the thing... maybe there are not 3Rs in Jack Johnson's song (i linked it before). Maybe there just should be 2. Reduce and Reuse.

And when it comes right down to it... adding decomposable elements to the garbage ain't really a bad thing? no?

I will take exception with the number of trees. The pull a 1920 survey and say now there are more trees than then. Yeah. True. in the 20s pretty much everything was logged clean. Nothing was being re-planted.

Now go back to 1820... or 1720 and do a tree count (yes i know, you can't do that). Then ya might see a decrease now than then.

But as the documentary points out: Recycling is new. 1987 or so? Right? Started on some made up Bullshit about running out of landfill space. (yeah their language rubs off).

Reduce and Reuse - cannot fault that. And along those lines is where real conservatism is rooted. Or should i use conservation, even though they have the same meaning. Real conservatives are concerned about excess. A true conservative would see military spending and all that as one of the biggest wastes in the world. If we took that money - and funnelled it into the education system in all the red states... they wouldn't be red anymore, and we wouldn't need to spend the shit on bombs and planes and bullet proof armor cause we wouldn't be the fucking enemy anymore. But no.

For some reason it has become popular to be a stupid jock, or a ditzy cheerleader. Those are the kids worshiped in school right? Well - look at our president. Maybe he was able to memorize all the fucking baseball stats in the world - doesn't make him smart.

Gonna be thinking long and hard about the recycling bin... as in... i think it might be collecting spiderwebs and leaves by next week.

Good luck to those riding the GMSR - which i had thought about driving up to spectate but finding it all the fucking way up there... yall have fun - i'll read about it next week.

peace out - to steal the line from yogurt boy:
"kiss your kids, thank you parents, and help someone whom needs some help"

or this one:
"stay healthy, think good thoughts, support your local farm, say thanks at least once a day, love your friends and cherish your family!"

Dude's a right inspiration - and a freaking powerhouse. Here's to hoping he upgrades to a 3 before the start of next year!!!
