I know they have energy problems but that's their fault, what they need is a giant sign on the California border saying "No more f'ers can live here".

i still dont disagree with it. a poor person probably doesnt have AC but if they do maybe they are smart enough to not blow it all day so they dont get killed with a 100 dollar electric bill because they are poor. - this is referring to a previous post about what if they shut off a poor mans ac and he dies. maybe he wouldnt die and it would help him learn to not live beyond his means

brandon - i may draw "strange conclusions" but i have always admitted i have very different views on things

my end all be all view on this is there is an energy crisis and the need to conserve.

But their energy crisis is caused by the fact that they have people who believe more power plants and aggressive pursuit of alternative energy are not important. So how do they plan to solve it? By monitoring people.

Give me a break.
