How to raise money for the project

'FORCES' added by me. :wink: We should get a lot of takers. :P
Gary K.

In the spirit of being a good neighbor, I've (FORCES)decided to offer a needed service for all of the believers in human-caused global warming. That's right, step right up, folks, I'm(FORCES) going to be selling carbon credits to those who want to assuage their guilt about heating up the planet with their SUVs.

For those of you not familiar with carbon credits, people who don't want to cut back on their use of fossil fuels just pay someone else to cut back, much the same way you might pay someone to eat healthy foods for you so you can eat anything you want.

My(FORCES) gimmick is that I'm(FORCES) offering $100 carbon credits for only $89 each. If you buy carbon credits from Al Gore, you'll have to pay the full retail price. But if you send your money directly to me(FORCES), you'll receive an official certificate for $100 in carbon credits for every $89 you send. But wait, there's more. If you are among the first 500 purchasers, we'll include a fantastic vegetable chopper, a $19.99 value, absolutely free.
And you will be helping to save the planet. I've had my eye on a 12-foot jon boat with a used 10-horse Evinrude, which will no doubt pump out oodles of carbon dioxide. But instead, I'm going to use the proceeds of carbon credit sales to purchase a sailboat -- in other words, an environmentally friendly boat that uses wind power. The latest issue of Yachts International includes an ad for a 66-foot Van De Stadt for a mere $2,295,000. That's a lot of carbon credits, but I'm sure if all of you dig deep enough, we can pull this off.

When you display your certificates on the wall, not only can you be smug about protecting our planet, you can also proudly tell your friends and neighbors that you got them wholesale.

Expanding the same general principle, I'm(FORCES) also pleased to offer healthy food credits to folks who need to improve their diet. Just send me(FORCES) $5, and I'll eat a stalk of celery for you. Of course, that's with a big blob of Cheese Whiz spread all over it. Sorry, if you want me(FORCES) to eat the thing with no topping; it'll cost you 10 bucks.

(Note to the humor-challenged: the above is satire. Do not send money to me or to any carnie out there, whether they are selling carbon credits or tickets to see a two-headed calf.)

I believe it was P.T. Barnum who said that there is a carbon credit purchaser born every minute. Or, did he say that a carbon credit purchaser and his money are soon parted? Well, it was something like that.

Thanks Gary for the laugh out loud this morning-as I am listening to Romney explain away his flipflops (as opposed to McCain flipflops, demmies flipflops, Huckabee-I was against the Smoker ban before I was FOR the Smoker Ban...and on and on and on)
better you=forces get the indulgences of the greenie church than Gordo...
Yours in FORCES,

Huckabee-I was against the Smoker ban before I was FOR the Smoker Ban...


Does FORCES have a way of getting the video clips when candidates speak specifically on this issue? Yes, Huckabee is a very scary guy -- amazing that one can't tell this by looking at him -- or at least I can't.

Huge problem with that Christian right, they'd vote for Hitler if he were against abortion. With this one, they just might be doing that. He says on his website he believes not in healthcare, but a "health state."

I can't imagine Huckabee getting the nomination, but it has been presented as one theory that Guiliani has made a running-mate deal with him. Food for thought. I don't lean toward espousing this theory just yet.

Now there's a scary thought -the Penguin and the Joker - a dynamic duo indeed. Look out Gotham!

Don't blame the Christians dear! I'm a Christian who happens to smoke AND have commen sence, which God blessed us with. I still like Thompson, ( who I believe smokes cigars)!

Lots of us here. I'm a Christian too. I am just pi**ed off at our traitor Christian righties. Hey, they knew the tobacco industry funded the the former Republican Revolution that got them all their power in the first place. They looked their lying little anti-abortion eyes the other way then -- that I know first hand.

Anyway, refer to www.wispofsmoke.net created by our own Dancing Tiger Bait. There's a Chrisian section (click in pink box on home page) with other links to some other Christian smokers' sites too. (She might have some under the Big Team section as well.)

Hey, God gave us free will, and our choices are our own only with His counsel. It's not the business of the state to stick it's nose in there, and those lying, stealing antis are violating major commandments.

Right on richlady! (No pun intended) I loved that site! Put it in my fav's. I can see why Ron paul is so popular but, I wonder if he too isn't saying whatever he thinks will get him elected by TRUE concervatives.

On the other hand, not all of us are Ron Paul supporters. My view is that of candidates running, Paul, Guiliani and Thompson are likely the least threatening to us, though none has stated they are pro-smoking or against antismoking, and thus none are to be trusted. However, of the three, I would trust Thompson the most in terms of gut feeling only.

Great post gary k.
A credit card scheme was the first thing came to my mind when I learned about the carbon credit.
Global warming is no longer the catch phrase used by the media. It is, climate change.
A safe flip flop.
lol
After all, the climate WILL change.
