Got to agree with steve4102 on this one, Carbon Footprint, your Carbon Credits and any of this utter nonsense that was designed for the DUMBMASSES to wrap their hollow empty heads around. Carbon as I understand it, is the second most abundant element in our universe behind hydrogen. How do you make a polutant out of the basic elemental foundation for our existance, we are as science says a carbon based life form. This is nothing but an attempt by some individuals and governments to assert more control over its populace, and make them pay for some phony science that has made some people extremely wealthy, like a former V.P. and Senator from Tennessee.

Too much carbon in our atmosphere will kill every living thing on our planet. Look into it.

I hate the term 'Saturday Night Special.'
I hate those who attack you for saying 'silencer' instead of 'suppressor.'
I hate the phrase 'my bad' for replacing 'I made a mistake.'
I hate the non-word 'alot' when it should be 'a lot.'

GEDS, I'm surprised. I'm not even from Alabama and I still think that Crimson Tide is one of the coolest team names in sports, and Roll Tide just goes with the territory.

Although, I guess if you live in Alabama and hear it all frickin day long it could start to wear on you.
