| #6 And hasn't any of these delicate flowers grasped how much s**t a horse produces in a day? Sgt. Mom, most of 'em have no clue which end to feed, much less that it may produce a, shall we say, biohazard afterwards. |

| #1 "Imagine if a similar effort had taken place at the turn of the 20th century with the auto industry and air quality," added Kraig Butrum, president and CEO of the American Wind Wildlife Institute, an umbrella organization for the wind energy industry and environmental groups. "We'd probably be in a completely different place when it comes to global climate change and energy dependence, because we considered environmental impact from the start." We'd all be riding horses, like back at the turn of the century, when the stench from livery stables literally peeled paint. |
