a "mistake". I'm curious what this mistake was, which apparently is not worth mentioning....

Three days later I phoned the restaurant to discover what happened. The owner was nervous and embarrassed and obviously did not want to talk about it. But I managed to ascertain that the whole thing had been one giant mistake. A mistake. Loaded guns pointed in faces, people made to crawl on their hands and knees, police officers clearly exacerbating a tense situation by kicking in doors, taunting, keeping their fingers on the trigger even after the situation was under control. A mistake. And, according to the ACLU a perfectly legal one, thanks to the Patriot Act.


Obviously the restaurant owner did something stupid.

depends on what that something is. and their rights were not violated, they were interrogated and then let go.

But I forgot, I'm always wrong and you're always right.

Oh, Dabekk, I was being sarcastic in that last statement.

Yep the point of a debate is to maintain that you are correct and the other person is not.

:lol: i thought it was kinda funny, and it's stereotype of a typical conservitive is no diffrent then your of people who believe in practical uses of solar power, being hippy's. on a side note, i took a enviro class last year that was actually pretty informative, and no it wasn't some crazy tree hugging class, it was just a scientific class having to do with the current enviroment, and alterior energy sources and how to work them in economically into everyday life. I found that some of those crazy ideas actually work pretty good, although some we totally debunked too. But soler power is a viable idea in some cases, although Hydro power is WAY better, economic, Easy, and Powerful. All of manitoba runs on Hydrom form our lakes, we sell the excess, to the state of New York, California, and Ontario

you're one to talk.

There's several energy conserving methods that are 100 times better than solar power. First off, there's this whole thing called weather. Clowdy days, storms, night time, many things that screw with solar power technology. The resources it would take to produce enough equipment to run everything using solar power is more than the units could generate themselves. Solar power is incredibly weak. People don't like having to charge their cars for 10 hours after every 2 hours of use.

solar power is both highly impratical and outstandingly expensive.
