Subject: RE: BS: It's global warming, stupid!
I am gonna suggest something that all of you global swarmers can do. Even tho I know my post will be completely ignored. Talked about it before but, hey, gnu's... whatever???

Ya wanna help reduce the foot human footprint... here's a start... demand legislation that requires longer warranty periods on goods of all types.

Let's take a... fridge. One year parts and labour UNLESS ya buy an extended warranty. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? Yer sellin me a FRIDGE that might not last more than a year? SERIOUSLY? Fuck me? Fuck you! I want a 50 year warranty because I care about global warming. Fridges and freezers and furnaces and.... used to be built to a 50 year design life... now it's ABOUT 7 years and might fail sooner?

And before anyone posts that I am dreaming... I am an engineer who designs shit and my clients get to choose how much they wanna spend on the life cycle costs... a 50 year fridge is NO different than the shit I design. I got a great story about that. I might come back to this thread and tell it after I crack an ale.
