| Category: Transport On those Sunday nights during the sixties I always loved it when Disneyland (HSV7 1830) was all about Tomorrowland as it normally showed the Anaheim Monorail. I really like monorails. I've been on this one and, of course, this one and this one. I'd really like this one to happen but I'm not holding my breath. |

| Category: There's a great article over at Canada Free Press titled Alleviate world hunger produce more clean carbon dioxide. Anthony Watts also posted it at his Watts Up With That Blog and amongst the comments was this gem Shouldn’t the question be, “Did your activities today create enough Co2 to grow enough wheat to produce a loaf of bread?

| Category: Liberal I guess I am classically liberal because I tend to come down on the side of whoever it is that runs the Classically Liberal blog. In this case the US legal system has created penalties involving behavioural restrictions that are impossible to obey. Regardless of your opinion of the original "crimes", this is ridiculous from a distance and must be a nightmare for those trying to Do-the-right-thing™. |
