Wind is a good thing. Wind is working just fine doing what it does naturally. Kennedy just doesn't want anyone "breaking wind" in his neighborhood. What's wrong with that? Devil

Right. We see the same thing with gasoline refineries, power
Apr 29, 2006 12:29AM PDT

generating plants, cell phone towers, and numerous other things. Put them in someone else's backyard and to h*ll with the people who want and need the product they produce. Do I need the product? Why can't they build in someone else's back yard far, far from my sight and property values?

That attitude is why we are short of gasoline, power, cell phone coverage, etc.

These things are going to be way out in the water. He might be able to see them with a pair of binocs.

I'm not saying he's wrong. I don't know. But these guys sure have no hesitation whatsoever telling us we have to make sacrifices.


Anyway, I love seeing the lefties tear into one another.
