Comment In 1981 (Score 1) 369

I was part of a crew that put in a geothermal installation at New Mexico State University the still provides hot water to the dorms and heats the 2 swimming pools. Four and a half miles of insulated pipe, a heat exchanger and a 25,000 gallon hot water tank. The University Presidents house has it's own system. So this isn't all that new. The only things that would improve it are better piping and shallower hot water. We had wells delivering 142 degrees F at the wellhead but they were in the 950 foot range and that is expensive.

I hereby declare that on July 1st through July 4th we will celebrate the Independence of these United States by having a four day hunting season on trial lawyers. No bag limit! We do need certain rules to ensure fair chase:
1. No hunting within 200 feet of an Ambulance.
2. No standing on a corner yelling "Free Scotch".

This is why there is a case involving Monsanto's GM alfalfa going to the Supreme Court this term. An Idaho farmer wants to know how Monsanto can keep their product from infecting his "organic" crop.
Many people are afraid of possible side effects of the coming "frankenfoods". Since it is impossible to control pollen travel, the Idaho case will be interesting.

Is there a single member of Congress with a Finance degree? Do any of them have a clue how the market is supposed to work? Are they going to do something that will have a positive influence?
Of course not!

Just a way to look like they are doing something in an election year.
If they were serious about the real problem they would balance the budget.
