Can Oklahoma tag along with you?

I think that we could all learn something from Mr.Pickens! I think more states should invest in wind farms. We need to start trying to depend on something else beside oil. We are seriously starting to think about maybe investing in solar power. I do agree that the gov. has gotten way to big. My husband said that we need to get a concealed weapons permit before they take that away from us too.

Our lowest gas price in Clinton County Indiana is $4.05, our highest $4.17. We have a wind farm getting ready to come into our county. One of the windmills is just two miles west of us.

Are they hiring for this wind farm? My husband is an electrical engineer with experience in power (coal). Do you know what the name of the company is?

We have wind farms here in Kansas and the propellers are huge. You often see them going down the highway.

As for Texas seceeding I don't blame you. Maybe Kansas can tag along with Oklahoma! Everyone is tired of government intervention. If you check our government is suppose to be run by the people but things have gotten turned around somewhere. When the government doles out money we have to jump through the hoops to receive it. Unfortunately a lot of people jump instead of running.

I'm really worried about our nation and I'm afraid that God's going to punish us. Gay marriages may be like the straw that breaks the camel's back. I'm looking for BIG disasters in the near future.

I'm sorry I don't have any idea. There hasn't been anything in the paper recently either, but as soon as I hear something I'll let you know. Your husband could probably contact the Clinton Co. Chamber of Commerce. I'm sure they'd have lots of information or at least send him in the right direction.

Thanks Janet. I mentioned it to him & he didn't seem real thrilled about becoming a wind farmer, but you never know.

I also am afraid of divine retribution. Not just our country, but the whole world.

Humans can do such wonderful things for each other, and yet, so many have chosen to have the poorest values, and no respect for life itself. I feel that our government is just part of that crowd. Their mission is surely not to ensure our lives, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

In NY, our mayor is a real nut, although he sometimes has good intentions. He implemented a ban on using trans fats in restaurants recently. It's not a bad idea, but it is my choice to eat what I choose to eat. I'm very uncomfortable with the government deciding on what foods I can eat.

I agree with what you are saying. I feel the same way about seat belts. There is documentation upon documentation that says seat belts save your life, but it should be my choice whether I save my life or not. Wearing a helmet on a motorcycle isn't a law, so why should they be able to fine me if I choose not to save my own life by not wearing a seatbelt. I think it's just an easy way for the state to make more money off of people.
