Our stay in Salt Lake City amounted to only two days, and therefore we had no time to make the customary inquisition into the workings of
polygamy and get up the usual statistics and deductions preparatory to calling the attention of the nation at large once more to the matter.
I had the will to do it. With the gushing self-sufficiency of youth I was feverish to plunge in headlong and achieve a great reform here--until I saw the Mormon women. Then I was touched. My heart was wiser than my head. It warmed toward these poor, ungainly and pathetically "homely" creatures, and as I turned to hide the generous moisture in my eyes, I
said, "No--the man that marries one of them has done an act of Christian charity which entitles him to the kindly applause of mankind, not their harsh censure--and the man that marries sixty of them has done a deed of open-handed generosity so sublime that the nations should stand uncovered
in his presence and worship in silence."

(KUNA) -- The need to shift economies onto a lower carbon route was highlighted by the UK's Prince Charles at opening of Low Carbon Prosperity Summit at the European Parliament here on Wednesday. He emphasized the need "to move away from the conventional economic model of growth which is based on the production of high carbon intensity products". Never having held a job, Prince Chuck is an obvious authority in... something or other.
"Success will be in building low-carbon industries that provide not only substantial economic opportunity, but also a means to ensure Europe's competitiveness," said the Prince of Wales. "I mean, look at all the low carbon industries that are leading the world to new prosperity!"
He stressed the need to achieve a "green economy" which would "rely on more productive processing of waste, the construction of new, zero-carbon buildings " and also upon "achieving stringent energy efficiency targets for our buildings, cars and household goods." Does that "green economy" produce anything besides regulations?
European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and European Union President Herman Van Rompuy speaking at the conference all advocated using low-carbon technologies to build prosperity.

When M'Lady hears about the royals, she keeps telling me, "That is the reason we left Olde England and its baggage behind.
And I tell her that I miss the Queen Mum. Why, she asks? Because she stood there with her people during the London Blitz bombing. Even Elizabeth was an ambulance driver. But Sonny Boy. He is just a babbling carbon sucking drone.
I miss the Queen Mum.

North Korea is leading the world in Low Carbon Prosperity.

It's easy to dismiss Prince charles as an inbred royal dolt. But it's a mistake to underestimate the power and influence he actually commands. Just take a look at the crowd he was with when he made these comments.
First there's European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek.
Back in his Solidarity days he was a strong proponent for the international "One Big Union" principle. Here is part of the statement he made before his meeting with Speaker Pelosi. In climate issue, Europe is a leader and we would like to save our planet, because we think it is very dangerous. And Americans are not very helpful.
Next there's European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.
And back in his Maoist days he was a leader of the PCTP/MRPP. For those of you not familliar with that acronym, it stands for the Communist Party of the Portuguese Workers/Revolutionary Movement of the Portuguese Proletariat
Finally, there's European Union President Herman Van Rompuy.
Some may remember him from his Belgin days when he jacked up the Financial and energy sectors to create his "Renewable Energy Fund". However, He's probably known better for recently saying, 2009 is also the first year of global governance with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of a financial crisis; the climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet."
So is the end game for these guys really about carbon emmissions? Or is it all about Red and Green?

Wow, Depot Guy, nice web site you linked to at Red and Green. I'm going to bookmark it in my Commie-Pinko-Scoialist-OneWorld-transnationalist-internationalist-dog poop folder.
I had no idea such dog poop existed.

Not to Buckingham, where the Queen lives. But Clarence House in London and Highgrove House in Gloucestersire could do with thermostat lowering, no doubt. Also his two or three properties in Transylvania. (no joke - look it up)
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
