FW: [BFix] SMOG Test

Mon Apr 28 15:57:17 MST 2008

Don't forget that before there were liberals and conservatives there were
republicans and democrats.  I remember when all the democrats I knew were
pro-gun, anti abortion, government supporting, religious people.  With the
liberals and conservatives there's nothing but bickering.  There should be 4
major political parties.  Liberal, conservative, democrat and republican.
I'd probably be a libertarian though.

So, if I understand this correctly, the more money you have the more you can
pollute?  And the more "credits" you buy (because you have more money than
the poor guys like us) the more you can convince yourself that you are
really doing good to the environment and the economy because you are buying
"credits" and spending money in the process!  WOW what a system we have!
Some how this system makes him MORE of a hypocrite than I originally thought
he was because he knows he is the environment and instead of going "green"
(as he demands from everyone but himself) he buys more credits so he can do
more harm.  And all this time I thought my Christian Conservative, ANTI gun
control, pro life, Republican beliefs were sensible, now I know why they
are.

Gore, participates in a system where by he buys CO2 credits to off set his
personal carbon footprint. Supposedly the organization he contributes money
to, plants trees and such that absorb CO2 and that cleans up the air and
apparently absolves Gore of all wrong doing. So pollute all you want to,
just make sure you are wealthy enough to cover you ass and make it look like
you are doing something right.  Oh yeah I beleive he has a part interest in
one or several of these carbon trading companies. Makes sense that he then
makes sure we are all going to hell over CO2 gas, the more we buy in to the
idea the richer he gets. Forgive the approximate numbers but I have read
that before global warming his family was worth around 5 Mil, now he is
worth around 25 mil. Apparently business is good.

I agree about the part of wanting a good place for my 4 daughters to live in
the future.  But, I personally do not believe in the "global warming myth"
that is out there and I sure don't buy into anything Al (Mr Hypocrite) Gore
has to say.  He rates right up there with Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Moore
with their opinions on gun control  and the war on terror.  His (Gores)
house produces more pollution and green house gases in a day than everything
I own does in a year.  Not to mention his private jet and all the huge SUV's
that his security uses everyday to protect him, do they get tested the same
as regular tax payers like you and I or do they get some type of immunity?
If the earth is falling into the global warming as he says then why have the
temps dropped across the earth?  Why are we having snow storms at the end of
April?  Why are we having "storms of the century" happening?  Why are only
the scientists that agree with him interviewed but not the ones who
disagree?  If you believe in the global warming I have no problem at all
with that, then let's just agree we disagree.  I know I will bombed with
emails saying how wrong I am and all that but, it is my right to feel and
believe what I wish, the same as it is yours to do the same.  I just cleared
out all my old mail preparing for the bombing.

It serves a very good purpose when administered correctly.  These tests help
ensure air quality. The requirements vary by county and region due to
varying local air qualities.  The EPA requires certain standards met on a
national basis and it is up to the local governments on how they choose to
meet those standards. In the Portland area when have an attainment zone that
requires the "smog" checks and seasonally reformulated fuels.

To put it simply:  NOX is a green house gas, HC is unburned fuel, neither of
which you want in the air you breath.

My 66' doesn't have to be tested because of it's age, but I took it through
anyway just to see how it was running. They tested it for free, and it
"passed" whatever standard they were using. 

I recommend that everyone watch the "Inconvenient truth" no matter what you
think of Al (invented the Internet) Gore as it is actually very well done.
I felt the documentary/movie really helps put the global warming issue into
perspective.  

I personally would like this planet to be a nice place to live for my
daughter!
