Things I wish I could remove from the world: a list-rant.

I eagerly await the demise of the following:

the Monsanto corporation
Lumber Liquidators
all McDonalds restaurants

while I'm dreaming, I might as well throw in:
racial and sexual inequality
anti-religious comments in social media

thank you for your time.

I like this article, though I find fault with their underrepresentation of a frac pad on the last slide: real frac pads are huge and complex. This is a deeply controversial topic in my own family and in the nation. My personal take is that U.S. sourced Natural Gas is a vast VAST improvement upon the sad state of the U.S. coal addiction; Up to 90% less pollution.P.S. I live less than a mile from a coal power plant. I believe that American natural gas is about the best we can hope to get out of fossil fuels. I also prefer gas heat and cooking to electric. Solar panel streets are an excellent idea, though. Can't wait to see that happen.

On another note, I'm vaguely wondering if Western PA is right for us. Comfortable, but doesn't necessarily feel like home. Time will tell. Maybe I'm just a wanderer by nature. I love the climate here, but I'm not enthusiastic about the spot we're living in right now. Transitional. these are thoughts fueled by a lack of sleep.
