thistlechaserWhat a strange subject line that must seem like, but it's fitting:
A couple weeks back, the news was covering a story about the Republicans. Since they're the majority in the House now, they get to set rules on various things. One of those things is recycling and how green they'll be (hint: not green at all). One thing that stuck out to me was an interview with one of the House Republicans, done in the House cafe. He stood in front of the cafe's trash area and gestured to the three trash bins behind him as he explained why they were ending recycling. One bin was labeled 'Glass', one 'Plastic', and one 'Compost'. His exact words were: "This is too confusing, how could anyone know where to throw anything!".
Last night I heard a story about a shelter for the Japan earthquake victims. The shelter had no electricity, little of anything... and yet they were fully recycling.
I wrote a post about how awful the Republicans were being about this (they're even rolling back switching out lightbulbs for energy efficient ones!), but I ended up not posting it.

... Oh, well 4.0.1 ruined that goal! Or set it further away. I googled for the exact figure of the gold cap to use in this post (214,748 gold) and in doing so learned they increased it in 4.0.1 (to 999,999). That's kind of sad, as I was going to say I would be hitting the cap this weekend or early next week.
Ah well. Making gold is just a time-filler anyway. If not for RP, I'd be so very gone from WoW.
