Waste not, what not is what I say. People used to cherish their hardwood and pine forests. Frugality was a virtue. Now we celebrate decadence, comfort, and greed.

State officials claim that they don't believe the leak polluted any surface water bodies or drinking water systems. How about the crude oil seeping into the ground? https://www.yahoo.com/news/keystone-pipeline-leaks-210k-gallons-230601176.html

It protects the wealthy from paying money to help run the country. Government protects itself by maintaining opaque fuzzy visuals, telling lies, denying what is and insisting on what isn't. This is progress according to some. Are you one of them? Excluding the wealthy because y'all are doing just fine and getting fatter and fatter, what do the rest of us do as we die from lack of protections covering food safety, meds safety , cosmestics safety, air quality, water safety? How is this better for us? less

Would you tell the truth about all you know to make things easier for you or would you martyr yourself and keep mum and let the monster whale swim off untouched and frolic about while you stay in jail? Why?

Some of them are very good phonies and can convince you of anything. Whether the perp admits/apologies or denies/lies what was done was done and cannot be undone. Why apologize? Are you comforted when someone apologizes to you? Do YOU feel better when you apologize to others, assuming you do apologize? Since we never know if the apology is for real or for show how can you ever take any of them seriously? Inquiring minds wanna know. less

It does so not by means of concealment or encryption (i.e. covering one's tracks), but instead by the opposite strategy: noise and obfuscation. With TrackMeNot, actual web searches, lost in a cloud of false leads, are essentially hidden in plain view. User-installed TrackMeNot works with Firefox and Chrome browsers, integrates with all popular search engines, and requires no 3rd-party servers or services.https://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot Warning: I used to play a game at msn.com but after running this thing for a couple of days the site wouldn't let me sign in. I surmise that M$ did not appreciate the baloney searches on Bing and suspended my account in retaliation. No word from Google, and Yahoo can go to h*ll.
