Interesting column by Ted Nugent

NUGENT: Loco motion

Common sense should wield the gavel

This may not be the end, but I think I can see it from here. Ever so hesitatingly and oh so painfully, I hate to admit that I am beginning to wonder why Americans even bother to vote anymore on controversial issues. If the America-hating liberals, socialists and Marxists in charge don't like the outcome of a decision by "we the people," they either sue and get a black-robed, leftist federal judge to declare the results unconstitutional or they get the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to sue for them. Hey, if you can't beat us at the polls, take us to court or sue us in the bizarro world of the corrupt American anti-justice court system. Freedom for sale at what price?

The will of the American people is being whittled away in federal courthouses across America. Now it's the will of a federal judge or the threat of a costly lawsuit that charts the course for America. When liberals can't win at the polls, they simply tie up the results in court for years, thereby usurping the will of the American people. What Saul Alinsky rule for radicals does this devilish anti-American ploy fall under?

Federal Judge Susan Bolton erroneously waded into Arizona's new immigration law to put a stop to that state's move to implement its new, common-sense law. Oh, wait; it wasn't new, and it's not Arizona's law. It merely demands enforcement of existing law. Weird, that.

Federal case law, including a Supreme Court decision, runs counter to Judge Bolton's politically inspired decision.

Arizona should go about its business of implementing its new law and ignore Judge Bolton's activist, legally dumb and meritless decision. Other states should follow Arizona's lead and pass similar legislation.

Unlike the leftist spin emanating from Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.and the tremendously stupid ruling by Judge Bolton, Arizona's law does not define U.S. citizenship. All it does is define what Arizona cops are to do when they apprehend someone who is not in the country legally.

When someone gets pulled over by a police officer or gets arrested, it is proper police procedure to ask for identification. No one of goodwill can possibly dispute that common-sense police procedure. And that's all Arizona's new law basically states.

So let me try to understand what the opponents of Arizona's law want: If a cop pulls someone over for speeding, the cops are not to ask for identification? Or if they do ask for identification and the speeder cannot produce identification or has identification from another country, the cop should turn a blind eye and send the speeder on his merry way? This, of course, is Three Stooges logic.

Let's break Arizona's law down a bit further so even legal dolts like Judge Bolton and Mr. Holder can understand it. Let's say I come to your town armed with an outrageous band of hard-core rock 'n' roll, over-the-top rhythm-and-blues maniacs. In order to get some of this sonic-outrage fun, you need to have a ticket to get in the door. Those who attempt to sneak into the concert, print fake tickets or foolishly bring the wrong ticket to the concert are tossed out by security. Only an out-of-touch Fedzillacrat could possibly find fault with this.

However, when it comes to Fedzilla, don't bet on common sense. In fact, I won't be surprised if common sense is found to be unconstitutional at some point by a leftist federal judge who cares more about politics than exercising judicial restraint and allowing the will of the people to carry the day.

And while Judge Bolton's blunder was making center stage in the media, the community of Fremont, Neb., backed away from enforcing its new, overtly common-sensical immigration ordinance after lawsuits against the ordinance were filed by, you guessed it, the ACLU and the Mexican American Legal Defense & Education Fund. Both said Fremont's ordinances were discriminatory and sought preliminary injunctions against Fremont, which would enforce the ban while the lawsuits flowed more slowly than frozen molasses through our lethargic legal system.

Alinsky would be proud. The Founding Fathers would weep. Davy Crockett would shoot somebody.

I support basic human rights. If an illegal person is here and is apprehended, he or she should be treated with basic human rights. But there is a big difference between being treated humanely and being given the same legal status as a U.S. citizen when you are not.

People in the United States illegally are not U.S. citizens and therefore are not due protection under the same laws as legal citizens. U.S. laws are passed for U.S. citizens, not people who are here illegally. This is Common Sense 101 and is why the overwhelming majority of Americans support Arizona's immigration law.

That this needs to be stated is an indictment of the increasing mindlessness of an increasing population of weird, illogical people. It's a damn shame, really.

America is slowly being remade into an image of the socialists' and Marxists' desires. This is being done by judges legislating from the bench and leftist organizations such as the ACLU firing lawsuit salvos against the American people and thereby usurping the will of the American people.

The president should write a book titled, say, "Dreams of My Father." Nah.

The Founding Fathers made a bad decision when they determined that federal judges should serve for life. Of course, they surely never thought some federal judges would care more about politics than interpreting law. No federal official should be appointed for life.

My hero, Rosa Parks, refused to give up her seat on a bus, thereby spitting in the face of racist and dumb laws. Good for her. That's the American spirit of defiance that guides my life. I recommend that Arizona follow Parks' trail and go about enforcing their new law anyway.

To do otherwise would be to embrace Judge Bolton's legally stupid and politically motivated decision.

Send a message, Arizona, and America will follow. Refuse to get out of your seat and sit at the back of the bus. Let's get it on.

Ted Nugent is an unstoppable American rock 'n' roll, sporting and political activist icon. He is author of "Ted, White & Blue: The Nugent Manifesto" and "God, Guns and Rock 'N' Roll" (Regnery Publishing).

Re: [Fwd: capitalism trumps eco friendly]

Dick,

We will soon solve that problem by going 100% retro.... backing up a few hundred years and putting out a "coffee stand" that is made of wood (super hard wood like Nazarena, Ron-Ron and heart of Teak ((grown here as a non-native crop)) ). The simple-stupid thing consists of a simple stand and base made of wood, a soft steel ring (like coat hanger) and a cloth "sock". Simply put it is a sock that you pour hot water through. You can make 1 cup or 12 and the "sock" is easily washable.

A Coffee Conundrum

By MURRAY CARPENTER
WATERBURY, Vt. — Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has built a reputation as an eco-friendly company since it was founded nearly 30 years ago.
It started composting used coffee grounds in 1983, helped develop an eco-friendly paper cup in 2006 and last year installed a huge solar array on the roof of its distribution center. The company's motto, "Brewing a Better World," reflects its belief that it has a responsibility to help improve living conditions in regions that grow coffee beans.
But its recent growth has been fueled by a product that runs counter to its reputation. More than 80 percent of Green Mountain's $803 million in sales last year came from nonrecyclable, nonbiodegradable, single-use coffee pods and their brewing systems. This year, the company expects to sell nearly three billion K-Cups, the plastic and tinfoil pods that are made to be thrown away — filter, grounds and all — after one use.
Now Green Mountain and its rivals are beginning to wrestle with the waste issue and searching for ways to make the packaging greener. Possible solutions include more use of biodegradable packaging, programs to recycle the pods or making the coffee filters themselves reusable.
"The whole concept of the product is a little bit counter to environmental progress," said Darby Hoover, a senior resource specialist for the Natural Resources Defense Council. "If you are trying to create something that is single use, disposable, and relies on a one-way packaging that can't be recycled, there are inherent problems with that."
In the battle for market share, single-serve systems are helping coffee remain competitive, Judith Ganes-Chase, a consultant to the coffee industry, said. "The industry has to be innovative. There is a lot of competition from other beverages in the marketplace," Ms. Ganes-Chase said. "One of the biggest issues has always been the convenience factor of how to get a good cup of coffee to the consumer at any point in the day, when it is demanded."
Ric Rhinehart, executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America, said that although single-serve sales were growing rapidly, they still amounted to a small percentage of the more than 100 billion cups of coffee Americans drink every year.
Green Mountain's K-Cups come in 300 varieties of coffee, tea and hot chocolate, and a new line of blends made to be brewed over ice. The cost varies, but is often about 60 cents a cup, or $25 a pound of coffee.
At the plant, in a mountain valley between Burlington and Montpelier, burlap sacks of green coffee beans from all over the world are stacked on tall pallet loads in one warehouse. Next door, the beans are roasted. Most are then ground and packed into K-Cups.
The containers resemble oversize creamer tubs. On machines here, they are lined with paper filters, filled with coffee, topped off with nitrogen gas to prevent oxidization, and sealed with foil. The cups work with brewing machines designed by Keurig, a Reading, Mass., subsidiary of Green Mountain.
In the machine, pins puncture the foil top and plastic bottom of the K-Cup, and hot water flows through, brewing a drink into a mug. Then the little cup gets tossed.
Michael Dupee, Green Mountain's vice president for corporate social responsibility, said some customers did not like to see the waste. "Consumers see the waste stream," Mr. Dupee said, "and they compare it to what they had done before, and they have a perception that there is a problem."
To some consumers, however, the convenience and efficiency override the waste issue.
"We used to make a pot of coffee, and we would be throwing it out all the time," said Michael Hurley, who uses the K-Cup system for concessions at small-town movie theaters he owns in Belfast and Houlton, Me. "So we don't do that anymore. And when people come in, they get exactly what they want."
Mr. Dupee showed off a prototype that Green Mountain planned to test this summer. It is a paper K-Cup, filled with Celestial Seasonings tea, that eliminates the plastic and the aluminum foil. In addition, he said many consumers had started brewing coffee in reusable metal-mesh filters for the Keurig machines, which accept ground coffee.
Green Mountain, he said, has also commissioned a life-cycle analysis to understand the environmental costs of the K-Cups. Though he would not discuss details of the analysis, pending a third-party review, he did say the study found that most of the impacts occur where the packaging is produced, not where the waste is disposed. He said he had been working with suppliers to make their manufacturing processes cleaner and more efficient.
He also cited Green Mountain's collaboration with International Paper to develop the Ecotainer — a hot-beverage cup with a plant-based, compostable lining — as an example of progress in packaging.
Other coffee companies are also wrestling with the waste issue. Businesses that use Flavia pods, which is made by Mars, are able to ship the used pods to the New Jersey company TerraCycle, which will compost the coffee or tea and reuse the plastic in products like pavers and fencing, a TerraCycle spokesman, Albe Zakes said. More than 2.5 million Flavia packs in the United States have been recycled in the last year. Mars sells a billion drinks a year in 35,000 workplaces worldwide.
In Britain, Mr. Zakes said, TerraCycle has processed more than 800,000 coffee discs from Kraft's Tassimo single-serve system. The results are being evaluated for possible application in the United States, a Kraft spokeswoman, Bridget MacConnell, said. Kraft and Mars are paying for collecting the pods, including shipping costs to TerraCycle.
Sara Lee has a simpler solution for its Senseo pods — the coffee-filled filter bags are made of paper and are biodegradable and compostable.
Nestlé's upscale Nespresso system uses aluminum capsules, and it has started a pilot program to collect used pods for recycling at some Nespresso Boutiques.
Ms. Hoover, of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said another option was to include prepaid mailers with coffee pods, as Hewlett-Packard has done for ink-jet cartridges.
Green Mountain's chief executive, Lawrence J. Blanford, said the K-Cups had some environmental benefits. Brewing one cup at a time means less wasted coffee at the bottom of the pot, and this reduces the overall environmental impact per cup of coffee.
K-Cups are also increasing demand for fair-trade coffees, he said, which accounted for 30 percent of Green Mountain sales in 2009. Fair-trade-certified coffees ensure that coffee farmers are paid a fair price per pound, and that coffee farms meet certain environmental standards.
Peter Meehan, chief executive of Newman's Own Organics, said the success of the K-Cups, which are his company's fastest-growing product, had helped Newman expand the market for organic products.
Still, Ms. Hoover wonders whether there is a simpler solution to the waste question. "At some point you have to ask, 'But do we need this product enough that we need to be trying to find all these different solutions for the components of it, or can we just go back to the old way that we used to make coffee, and was that good enough?' "

[Fwd: capitalism trumps eco friendly]

There are probably a couple of you folks out there that remember 1955.... <g>

Comments made in the year
1955!

(That's 55 years ago!)
 


'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way 
they are, it's going to be impossible
 
To buy a week's groceries for $20.00.


'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?
It won't be long before $2,000.00 will only buy a 
used one.

'If cigarettes keep going up in price, 

I'm going to quit.
A quarter a pack is ridiculous.

'Did you hear the post office is thinking about 
charging a dime just to mail a letter
? 

'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, 

Nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store. ' 

'When I first started driving, 

Who would have thought gas would someday cost 29cents a gallon.. 
Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.

'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more..
Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying 
DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, 
 
It seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.

'I read the other day where some scientist thinks 
it's possible to put a man on the moon by the 
end of the century. 

They even have some fellows they call astronauts 
preparing for it down in   Texas  .

'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a
contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? 

It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be 
making more than the President.

'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen 
appliances would be electric. 
 
They are even making electric typewriters now.

'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays.. 

I see where a few married women are having to work 
to make ends meet.

'It won't be long before young couples are going to 
have to hire someone 

To watch their kids so they can both work.

'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the 
door to a whole lot of foreign business.

'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the 
Government takes half our income in taxes. 

I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best 
people to congress.

'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather,

But I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.

'There is no sense going to Lincoln 
or
 Omaha anymore for a weekend, 

It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.

'No one can afford to be sick anymore, 

At $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for 
my blood.'

'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'
