[Strawbale] [Strawbale} Anti cement folks

[Ron Becker]

Beautiful Frank. Well said. The sound of that guy's  mind slamming shut 
was not a pleasant experience. I remember how shocked I was to learn 
that people on a strawbale list are not talking about a house of bales 
but an embodied energy gobbling behemoth and sticking some bales here 
and there so they can have their `lie' window so show off to the 
Yuppersons next door. They all stand around with their wine glasses 
going "yep we're green alright! I joined this list because I was 
looking for info on earthen plasters and there is some of that around 
for sure. But I'm sorry, I never thought strawbale construction would 
be infiltrated by the republiban. I'm outa here. You may be too if 
enough people whine about you mentioning forbiden subjects. `What's his 
name' forbid that they should be exposed to other viewpoints.

Those who question global warming have a financial or emotional 
interest in the status quo.
