[AT] Speaking of propane:-: Methane

[Bob McNitt]

Charlie -

Officials running the country today are largely from urban/suburban 
"estates" and probably wouldn't know a Holstein from an Angus. I wonder how 
many millions of dollars of taxpayers' money went into those methane study 
grants given out by the EPA?

I just learned today that the NYSDEC is closing the state's lone DEC 
pheasant rearing facility -- Reynolds Game Farm -- in Ithaca as part of the 
budget shaving. Looks like the NY ring-necked pheasant will be on the 
"endangered species" list soon. I'll miss seeing those thunderous flushes 
and hearing those rooster cackling, say nothing about how good they taste on 
the table.

Please stop the world and let me off. I do not feel like I fit in the 
Earth's society any more.  Read on if you wish.

           “With the economy in bad shape and
the possibility of a deep recession looming, the Environmental
Protection Agency is proposing to levy new taxes—on cows and pigs,”
American Farm Bureau Federation Director of Regulatory Relations Rick
Krause told Wyoming Farm Bureau members at their annual meeting.
Krause spoke in Sheridan on Nov. 7. (Commonly referred to as a fart tax.)
            “This is no
laughing matter,” Krause said.  “The cow tax and the pig tax are parts
of a larger scheme by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.”
“Under the proposal, if a state charged the “presumptive minimum rate”
from the EPA, the cow tax would be $175 per dairy cow, $87.50 per head
for beef cattle and a little more than $20 per pig,” Krause explained. 
(Clearly the regulators like steak better than milk.)
Could anyone name a few celebrities and congress persons who could probably 
out gas a cow about two to one??How long will it be before collector 
tractors come under the same attack??I guess a new tax will prevent a cow 
from passing gas.  Holy cow.  Who could have guessed that.  The inmates 
really are running the asylum.Charlie V. in WNY
