Global Warming - What a JOKE!!!

WARNING: This is not for the liberal at heart.

So, I thought this whole blog idea would be great for journaling about our family and keep our friends and family up to date on us. I have just found a new reason why I need this blog. I had an encounter today with a "Granola" woman who is obviously way too brainwashed about global warming. I was so in shock by her boldness that I could hardly think straight. I didn't get to say what I wanted to say. I am so mad at myself that I didn't speak up to her that I have to post it on my blog to get my frustrations out. Here's what happened:

I took Maya and McKenna to the park today to play. We had about 1/2 hour before we had to pick up the girls from school. Instead of driving all the way back to our apartment to go up two flights of stairs with the girls and have to turn around I decided that we would just go wait at the school for them. Maya had brought a few books so I figured we were set. When I drove up, there were 3 or 4 other cars already there. Since we had just been at the park and the girls cheek's were flushed from the heat, not to mention it was just plain humid outside and we wanted to be comfortable, we left the car idling . After sitting reading to Maya for a while, more cars showed up behind us. Then it happened. A woman came up to my door and knocked on my window. Just a mom or grandma (not quite sure). She proceeded to tell me that the school was going to be sending notices around to let people know not to leave their cars idling while waiting for their kids in line because of Global warming and all. She said that she thought she'd just spread the word and let me know since I was the only one with my car idling. (She is such a good citizen. Blaggghhhh!!!) I think my jaw hit the floor. I didn't know what to say and just like that she was gone.

I am so annoyed at myself that I didn't say anything to her. What gives her the right to tell me that I can't idle my car. I'm the one that's paying for my gas, not her. I thought this was a free country. Since when do people tell you that you have to sit in a hot car with an infant and a toddler just to "protect the earth". If I were to have walked away with my car off and the kids in it, she would have probably called social services on me. But I guess it's ok as long as I am dying in the heat with them. These democrats are really getting on my nerves. I think I am more annoyed at myself that I didn't say anything. I wish I could do that conversation all over again. It is people like me that let this sort of stuff go on by not speaking out. Never again will I let that happen. The next person who even MENTIONS Global warming to me will probably be sorry because they will get a nice earful. I think on Monday I will be the first in line with my car idling and proud of it.

(Wow, I am feeling much better now. This writing your thoughts down stuff really makes you feel better and stronger. I can conquer the world now (especially if I keep my car running.)
