Stop Eco-Frauds From Worsening the Recession

The effort to stop the California Air Resources Board (CARB) from continuing to punish us citizens for living and getting to work has taken on a new urgency, with the inclusion of Proposition 23 on the November 2010 ballot.

Please help Clean the CARB and stop regulations that will cost tons of money, provide little or no environmental benefit, and put California and the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage with the rest of the world, which is steadily stealing jobs from our workforce.

Remember the Salmon

It’s been 10 years since this video was shot, but it still serves as a good example of how bad the government can be.

As someone who enjoys fishing greatly (and in particular, the challenge of catching salmon outside the Golden Gate), I share Bill Wattenburg’s disgust at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife killing salmon returning upriver just because they were born in a hatchery. It is utterly amazing that the government can get away with killing, by the tens of thousands, a fish they claim belongs on the endangered species list.

Please read the rest of the details of the Oregon Salmon Killing in my original posting on the subject.

Amtrak—Anaheim to Foster City in just 12 hours

I recently took my first trip on Amtrak—and boy, was it an eye-opener. I enjoyed much of the trip itself, getting to relax, roam about the train, code a few web pages, dine twice, and witness some fantastic scenery. But much about the trip was not pleasant, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it should be shut down and put out of its misery.
