It's not that tweaking per se is a mistake philosophically; on the contrary, I think- no matter how well something works, there's almost always a way to improve it. The problem with government tweaks is- they tend to be half-witted compromises, written into law. When they turn out to be lethal for somebody, it takes another law to quit killing people. Would be nice if we had some way to say "this isn't working for me" - and just fix it without the whole world getting involved. sigh. <BR/><BR/>New Greenie- :-) ah, I do sympathize. Do you think it might be possible to get Companion to agree to just a week without it? Earth Lent? My guess is it just seems too huge. I'll bet if you can get Comp to do it just for a week- the idea will start to sink in. It might be another year or so before Comp will be really ready- but then you'll have a "reformed sinner" on your hands- just watch what a loud advocate may develop.

Heretofore, every step to better living has been met with overwhelming gratitude. <BR/><BR/>"Honey, you were so right, I feel so much better biking to work, we really don't need the car."<BR/><BR/>"Darling, it's true, I don't miss central heat at all, I sleep so much better"<BR/><BR/>It was a regular love fest until I shut the refrigerator off. Cold stare and "I. Will Not. Go. Without. THE Refrigerator. Enough!"<BR/>I had no idea a cold beer was so important to Companion. I am working on what temp is the cut off. We have a stream nearby and I threw one in hoping ...We'll see..

Sad about your apple blossoms, but there's plenty of other stuff blossoming out there...<BR/><BR/>I hate when governments start tweaking tweaks with more tweaks... very annoying isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-14114870240433109462007-05-17T14:45:00.000-05:002007-05-17T14:45:00.000-05:00Welcome back, Grumpa!
