Some farmers here just get a check every year to put wind turbines on their land, so I see it is a win-win if the owner of the turbine is making money.

The people who annoy me the most are those who complain that wind turbines are "ugly." I mean its fine if you wanna argue whether or not wind energy is that efficient and cost-effective, but "ugly"? What are you, a Democrat?

I think Wind Turbines look cool personally.

Wasn't Kennedy the one who refused to allow wind turbines be built by his house because he thought they were ugly?

 

I think they look cool also.

I'm not sure, I was just referring to some people in my state (Texas) who say that.  I remember one farmer in this article who said he was outraged that his father put them on their farm.  YOU GET FREE MONEY FOR NOT DOING SHIT!  How is that a bad thing?  I could put up with something I thought was ugly on my lawn if I was getting $10,000+ a year per item on my lawn.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
