What if we all just get naked and do the tango? We produce CO2 emissions from just living without even consuming commercial products. Don't we all fart? Maybe the best thing to do is to allow China and India get into a huge nuclear war against eachother. That may eliminate a large proportion of emissions in the long run. Yeah.

Wow, thanks for the response. Quite honestly I'm surprised that you took the time to respond in such a detailed and well founded manner. I think most people picked up that I was using irrational logic on purpose with the intent of showing the slippery slope that liberals often take when justifying new taxes and new government initiatives. Many of the programs today (and programs that are currently being proposed in DC) seem just as illogical as my post. I definitely did not agree with what i was posting. It was all tongue in cheek. However, i did feel it was important to show that something so ridiculous could be presented in a way that the left would probably support. I am of the belief that taxes are a necessary evil. Necessary for certain things that protect the liberties this wonderful nation were founded upon. Not to strip us of those liberties. Keep getting involved and thinking for yourself. If all Americans showed your passion we'd be in a much better place. Cheers, KG Art!!! Wow, thanks for the response.

There is so much wrong with your logic, but lets start with this -->"We search all citizens (and non citizens when we let everyone else in) guilty of or part of DWI, AA, MIP, liver disease and disorderly conduct" Thinking of starting a Fascist regime? Next misthought --> "disorderly conduct (only happens when your drunk)" wrong, it happens when anyone sober or drugged gets out of hand. Why/how would you tax a person who is member of AA or has attended a meeting? 1. AA is anonymous, that is a major component of why it works. 2. Just because a person has attended a meeting or meetings does not necessarily make that person an alcoholic or a heavy drinker for that matter. A person can have a problem with alcohol and only drink a little. Next --> "Getting drunk is getting drunk… and i should know." Put yourself on the tax list. When you were keeping to the point of the article in your first post you did alright, well, except for not knowing the elementary difference between using then and than. Creditability was lost in your second post when you let your unlearned opinion fly off the handle. Keep it to the green Gretzky because you don’t know what you’re talking about on the alcohol issues.

Since you bring up the topic, I've been told that more and more underagers are trying to get into bars today - anything to get some booze and participate in shennanigans. As a matter of fact, I heard there was a group of hoodlums out causing serious trouble in this neck of the woods just a couple of weeks ago. If these trouble makers become repeat offenders, and from the the sounds of it this group was, it would be great if it at least generated revenue to help our environment. The surplus tax going toward research, and the methane that could be extracted from the late-night BS spouted out by some of these drunken fools, could at the very least lead to some sort of hybrid vehicle breakthrough.

You seem to view alcohol consumption as being 100% correlated to getting drunk. That is a huge misconception that takes us to two categories. 1 - people who like beer and 2 - people who drink beer to get drunk. For the folks in category 1 who actually like beer, while their choice might not be economically friendly, its no different then drinking soda pop. They should not be victems of their taste buds. However, for the people in category 2, there is certainly an injustice to all earthly plants and animals (humans being in the latter in case you were wondering). Why do these people have to drink beer to get drunk? Getting drunk is getting drunk... and i should know. Heres a motion that i'd like to see someone follow up on. We search all citizens (and non citizens when we let everyone else in) guilty of or part of DWI, AA, MIP, liver disease and disorderly conduct (only happens when your drunk) and link a surplus tax to their ID's because someone of this type is surely just trying to get drunk. Whenver one of these jokers tries to buy beer and shows their ID, they are hit with a 25% surplus tax. If they buy any alcohol over 40 proof they are allowed to pay the taxes we all pay. This 25% tax is then funneled to pay for the energy on projects that split hydrogen from hydrocarbon fossil fuels and reuses that hydrogen to power vehicles that we'll tell the public have no emissions besides water mist. I think you're really on to something here.... Purple,
