Perspecitive on the minor roll of Car Pollution
Estimate of Pollution-
It is estimated that 100 tons per acre of wood burns in a forest fire. Using the accepted conversion carbon to co2 that equals some 367 tons of carbon dioxide per acre. The 2012 High Park fire in Larimer County, Colorado burned 83,000+ acres.
367*83000=30,461,000
est pollution 30,461,000+ metric tons of carbon dioxide
US cars carbon dioxide emissions EPA-
1960- 2,550,000,000 metric tons
2010- 1,000,000,000 metric tons
Just 1 wild fire equaling some 3% of Car Carbon Dioxide in the USA. Add up the total number of acres burned & grass fires world wide every year that make car pollution look to be quite a minor thing.
A much different look at Car pollution than the "Man made Climate Changers" would have you see.

Incense and Candle Burning Greenhouse Gases and Health Risks!!
Those who enjoy the burning of incense and candle burning run the risk of dangerous heath side effects including cancer as well as producing green house gases. A multitude of pollutants are emitted from the environmentally unfriendly guilty pleasures. Time to rid our nation of these producers of noxious health hazards and green house gases. Stop burning incense and stop burning candles! Prevent Cancer and prevent Global Climate Change from wiping out Mankind!
Researchers from Nevada's Desert Research Institute determined incense emit large quantities of "brown carbon aerosol" gases.
Some statements from the EPA:
One study showed worst-case scenario concentrations of acrolein, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde from candle emissions exceeding EPA-recommended thresholds
Burning candles containing lead core wicks can result in indoor air concentrations of lead above EPA-recommended thresholds
Several studies indicated links between exposure to incense smoke and health effects,including cancers and contact dermatitis. A few studies indicated possible mutagenic and genotoxic effects.
Studies that examined the emissions of specific contaminants from incense smoke indicated that benzene and particulate matter may be emitted at concentrations that could pose human health risks.

Government over reach into retailers shopping bag use.
Many who oppose retailer provided shopping bags have no clue as to the
origin or actual rate of break down and environmental impact.
Originally canvas bags were used much like the new generation desired
by the Green crowd. They were discontinued because they would become
dirty and unsanitary or disease ridden just as they will today. By 1870 paper
came along and provide a clean safe way to transport. Misguided
environmentalist have discouraged paper bag use. The true green
product! Tree are renewable, often 3 replants to 1 cut, old paper
recycled, bags thrown away turn to dirt in short order. Anti Bagger
CURMUDGEONS don't want to hear about paper because it does not fit
their agenda. On to plastic, the common belief is its will take a
million years to decompose in landfill, nonsense. Experts say 10 to
100 years. I have dug up plastic bags after 2 and there was little
left. It does decompose into smaller and smaller pieces but so what.
It harms nothing. In the Ocean that maybe a different story but why
are we dumping there when there is absolutely NO shortage of space on
land. Which is contrary to the hysteria started by J.Winston Porter, assistant
administrator at the EPA that authored the first 1981 report claiming
that landfill space was quickly diminishing. Who by the way later back
tracked when confronted.
As for retailers- it is first a courtesy to the customer to provide a means of carrying products, good customer relations. 2nd it is good for the retailer because the
consumer will not stop buying because they fear running out of means to
carry the goods. There will be more bags if they want more products. A
limitation removed.

Ban Sports in the USA - full article
This is the untold story of the horrendous toll sports have
taken both physically and monetarily on the people of The United States. In telling this story it is also a call to
arms for a united front to ban these threats to our nation and it’s
people. You are about to be informed of
the injuries, deaths, cost of care, cost of lost productivity from
participation and second hand participation, spitting, of these sports. There have been voices crying in the dark
but now it is time for legislation banning the Menace to society.
For
several decades now organized sports for the youth and adults of America have
boomed. Never in our history have we
seen such monstrous physical and financial devastation from the American people
at play schoolyard type games. Sprains
and strains, fractures, contusions, abrasions and concussions top the list of
sports-related injuries. Close to 1.5+
million children end up in the emergency rooms every year with injuries at a
cost of approximately 1+ billion dollars.
Some 2-3+ million adults also injure themselves. Injuries in adults not only result in high
medical cost and lost wages but also mean lost productivity inflicting
financial damage to America’s Businesses and Government Workforce. This does not include the 1000’s that die
from participating and watching sporting events both amateur and professional
in the United States alone.
The Sports
world has been forced to start viewing the danger. The new poster child – Concussion. Sports are feverishly trying to figure out who to deal with
Concussions. Monitoring, equipment,
preventative, post care and putting dresses on players. It’s only the start to a massive financial
bleed. From Concussions it will spread
to the other long term injures, much like cigarettes. Hmm cigarettes in them selves with moderation cause very little
problem contrary to popular PR. Sports
the same. Another parallel?
A
step further all the abuses to society by sports players who believe them
selves to be something special for playing these kiddies games. Rapes, robber, drunken car injuries, murder
to name a few. How about assault on
fans and reporters as well as friends and family. This is one that does not parallel cigarettes but goes far
beyond in the destructive category.
A further consideration is the bodily decay years later from
youth sports injuries. Knees,
shoulders, ankles, feet, and backs that becomes unbearable from damages done
years before. Mature people who can
barely get out of bed or manage the stairs in their homes, let alone work place. That Demon Arthritis preys on victims of
Sports Injuries. Some wear these as
some sort of badge of courage even though it was just a silly game. Many suffer in silence, some to the extent
of suicide.
The time has come to legislate away this drain on society. The physical and financial calamity from 1st
hand – participation and 2nd hand - spectation of sports needs to
end. The addiction has to stop. If you see a similarity to the Anti Smoking
Culture – Yes very similar and in the stages as were anti smokers in the early
60’s. Concerned Parents, Politicians,
Momentum and Lawyers will help carry the cause and bring down this trillion
dollar behemoth of Corporate America.
Erase the physical and monetary destruction of playing these games.
Do not take this paper at its word. Do REAL explorative studies cutting through
the nonsense propaganda info that has mass accrued. It will mean a lot of sorting and discerning. Remember NO SPOON FED THOUGHTS!!!!!!

More on the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment
What the Framers said about our
Second Amendment
Rights to Keep and Bear Arms
Rights to Keep and Bear Arms
- "I ask, sir, what is the
militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."
— George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788
- "Whereas civil-rulers,
not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to
tyrannize, and as military forces, which must be occasionally raised to
defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their
fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to
keep and bear their private arms."
-- Tench Coxe, in Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution
- "The best we can hope
for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
-- Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188
- If the representatives of
the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but
in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount
to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of
the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success
than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single
State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the
different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having
no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense.
The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without
system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.
-- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
- "That the said
Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe
the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent
the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping
their own arms ... "
-- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at 86-87 (Pierce & Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)
- "[The Constitution
preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the
people of almost every other nation...(where) the governments are afraid
to trust the people with arms."
--James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46
- "To suppose arms in the
hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private
self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state,
is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that
liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government.
The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and
commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws."
--John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of the United States 475 (1787-1788)
- "Before a standing army
can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom
in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the
sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a
force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense,
raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress,
can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and
constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will
instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which
appears to them unjust and oppressive."
--Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787).
- "Who are the militia?
Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms
each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the
militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier,
are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is
not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I
trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."
--Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
- "Whereas, to preserve
liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess
arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does
it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on
every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced
by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to
practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans
are for carefully guarding against it."
--Richard Henry Lee, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
- "What country can
preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that
their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."
-- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356
- "No Free man shall ever
be debarred the use of arms."
-- Thomas Jefferson, Proposal Virginia Constitution, 1 T. Jefferson Papers, 334,[C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950]
- "The right of the
people to keep and bear ... arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated
militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best
and most natural defense of a free country ..."
-- James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789
- "What, Sir, is the use
of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the
bane of liberty .... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and
liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in
order to raise an army upon their ruins."
-- Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789
- " ... to disarm the
people - that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
-- George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 380
- " ... but if
circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of
any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the
people, while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior
to them in discipline and use of arms, who stand ready to defend their
rights ..."
-- Alexander Hamilton speaking of standing armies in Federalist 29
- "Are we at last brought
to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted
with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms
in possession and under our direction, and having them under the
management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of them under
the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having
those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or
equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"
-- Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836
- "The great object is,
that every man be armed ... Every one who is able may have a gun."
-- Patrick Henry, Elliot, p.3:386
- "O sir, we should have
fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to
assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are
gone ..."
-- Patrick Henry, Elliot p. 3:50-53, in Virginia Ratifying Convention demanding a guarantee of the right to bear arms
- "The people are not to
be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of
them."
-- Zacharia Johnson, delegate to Virginia Ratifying Convention, Elliot, 3:645-6
- "Certainly one of the
chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular
and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms ... The
right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary
government, one more safeguard, against the tyranny which now appears
remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible."
-- Hubert H. Humphrey, Senator, Vice President, 22 October 1959
- "The militia is the
natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions,
domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpation of power by rulers. The
right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as
the palladium of the liberties of the republic; since it offers a strong
moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will
generally ... enable the people to resist and triumph over them."
-- Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, p. 3:746-7, 1833
- " ... most attractive
to Americans, the possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman
and a slave, it being the ultimate means by which freedom was to be
preserved."
-- James Burgh, 18th century English Libertarian writer, Shalhope, The Ideological Origins of the Second Amendment, p.604
- "The right [to bear
arms] is general. It may be supposed from the phraseology of this
provision that the right to keep and bear arms was only guaranteed to the
militia; but this would be an interpretation not warranted by the intent.
The militia, as has been explained elsewhere, consists of those persons
who, under the laws, are liable to the performance of military duty, and
are officered and enrolled for service when called upon.... [I]f the right
were limited to those enrolled, the purpose of the guarantee might be
defeated altogether by the action or the neglect to act of the government
it was meant to hold in check. The meaning of the provision undoubtedly
is, that the people, from whom the militia must be taken, shall have the
right to keep and bear arms, and they need no permission or regulation of
law for the purpose. But this enables the government to have a well
regulated militia; for to bear arms implies something more than mere
keeping; it implies the learning to handle and use them in a way that
makes those who keep them ready for their efficient use; in other words,
it implies the right to meet for voluntary discipline in arms, observing
in so doing the laws of public order."
-- Thomas M. Cooley, General Principles of Constitutional Law, Third Edition [1898]
- "And that the said
Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress ... to prevent the
people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping
their own arms.... "
--Samuel Adams
