Assignment:
Name some of the divisions that exist within our society and explain which side you suppose is supported by the Dark Brothers?
Let's identify a few of these divisions starting with some named by the group.
Dan names these three:
Who are the enemies of the above? It's not really the common man for the average person is somewhat neutral and not at war with anyone. The enemy of the above three is the same - various business interests (free enterprise) and laws (or lack thereof) that stand in their way.
Again who is their enemy?
It is the same: various business interests (free enterprise) and laws (or lack thereof) that stand in their way.
Who is their enemy? Even they will admit that it is not the average Joe on the street. When we search for the core thing that bothers then again we arrive at free enterprise and laws (or lack thereof). They think that too much freedom is corrupting their world and many of our laws need to be rewritten Taliban style.
They certainly act like they are fighting some type of invisible enemy out there, but who is it? Again, they could care less about the man on the street but they are ever vigilant to go after free enterprise and laws (or lack thereof) that stand in their way.
Who is their enemy? Again, various business interests (free enterprise) and laws (or lack thereof) that stand in their way.
They identify their enemy through those whom they demonize in their films. Time and time again it is the evil businessman or some insane religious nut.
Again these are fighting free enterprise and moral laws (or lack thereof) that get in their way.
I think we see the common thread here and it extends to other groups.
These had a good purpose in the past but now seem to exist to fight free enterprise and laws that get in their way.
These did accomplished good things at their inception but now their big enemy is free enterprise and laws (or lack thereof) that stand in their way.
Who is their real enemy? Various business interests (free enterprise) and laws (or lack thereof) that stand in their way. Their latest idea is a carbon tax that would cripple many businesses.
The interesting thing about examining the duality here is there are not many groups fighting each other, but many groups on one side fighting one thing: various business interests (free enterprise) and laws (or lack thereof) that stand in their way.
The true house [kingdom] divided is free enterprise and laws (and structure) that make this possible against many fragmented enemies. One business may compete with others but they do not seek to sabotage then and destroy them.
On a small scale our business competes with other sign businesses in town, but they are not our enemies. Some of them are our good friends and we help each other. There are bureaucrats in the local government, however, that seek stricter sign laws that would accomplish no good and make things more difficult for us and our customers.
Many have swallowed the party line about business being evil, especially big business and wealthy people. We'll talk about them next.
Global Warming Enlightenment:
Who practices true environmentalism?
Al Gore:
He has a 20-room mansion and pool house in Tennessee that devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours. The power cost was around $30,000.
He has another mansion in Virginia that probably uses a similar amount but public records are not available.
He says he is going to install some solar panels in the near future but overall, he makes a large carbon footprint similar to other people of his wealth.
George W. Bush:
He has a 4,000-square-foot house in Texas that is a model of environmental rectitude.
Geothermal heat pumps located in a central closet circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground where the temperature is a constant 67 degrees; the water heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. Systems such as the one in this "eco-friendly" dwelling use about 25 percent of the electricity that traditional heating and cooling systems utilize.
A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof runs; wastewater from sinks, toilets and showers goes into underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is used to irrigate the landscaping surrounding the four-bedroom home. Plants and flowers native to the high prairie area blend the structure into the surrounding ecosystem.
According to Heymann, who designed the house, the four-bedroom home was planned so that "every room has a relationship with something in the landscape that's different from the room next door. Each of the rooms feels like a slightly different place." In order to help the house blend in with its surroundings, Heymann selected limestone quarried very near the location of the house. The pieces used are left-over pieces from other cuttings, making an environmental statement about conserving resources. "They cut the top and bottom of it off because nobody really wants it," Heymann says. "So we bought all this throwaway stone. It's fabulous. It's got great color and it is relatively inexpensive."
The main residence, including the kitchen, dining room, and living room/family room use a two-speed, 6-ton water-source heat pump designed to handle up to 75 guests. The president's office, master bedroom, and bathroom use a 3-ton water-source heat pump. The guest house uses a separate 2.5-ton unit. These heat pumps circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet (100 m) deep in the ground. Underground, the water remains a constant 67 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning that pure water can be used without the use of antifreeze.
The passive solar house is positioned to absorb winter sunlight, warming the interior walkways and walls of the residence. A 40,000 US gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof urns; wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers cascades into underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is then used to irrigate the landscaping around the four-bedroom home.
