I applaud your attempt to discredit the source rather than to make any attempt 
whatsoever to discredit the arguement or the premise itself. But here are some 
more reputable sources, irregardless of the fact that the site I linked had a 
number of reference sources.

http://denver.rockymountainnews.com/shooting/0422nra3.shtml

And here is the link of how Moore edited hestons speech entirely and spliced 
the sentences to create an entirely new speech.

http://www.hardylaw.net/Bowlingtranscript.html

He has a link on there with the actual transcript, and you can throw in BFC if 
you want to check Moore's new version. And here is another anti-Moore link 
corraborating the Flint incident. I don't need a source for that though, slow 
down your DVD player and do it frame by frame. Moore puts together a sequence 
of scenes to make it look like Heston is in Flint immediately after the death 
of the little girl. He actually says Just as he did after the Columbine 
shooting, Charlton Heston showed up in Flint, to have a big pro-gun rally.

But, from:
 http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=859 
 When I spoke to Moore last week, he confirmed HardyĆ¢s point about the date of 
the speech, but angrily denied the allegation that he had misled viewers.
 
 Moore actually admits the date was off. How does he get off saying he didn't 
try to mislead people.
 
 As for the civilian casualties, there are only a reported maximum of about 
11,300 according to 
 http://www.iraqbodycount.net
 Most of the deaths are by cluster bombs and the initial missile attacks. But 
go check out the database, those suicide and car bombers are killing more 
Iraqi's than americans. When you kill 30-100 people per bomb trying to get back 
at the American's, your seriously hurting your own people. Given the 325,000 
killed in Vietnam and lets not forget the millions from WWII. I do not condone 
the civilian deaths, and I think we still have a long way to go, but war does 
have casualties, and I think there were significant improvements so far.

RE: [biofuel] Re: Re: Fahrenheit 9/11

2004-07-01 Thread rhsanborn

I'm also from Michigan, doesn't mean I blindly accept the opinion of everyone 
who speaks here. The facts are true. Michael Moore is meticulous in making sure 
he doesn't say anything that is explicitly false. Instead, he uses cheap camera 
tricks and clever sequences to give a very clear picture of what he is trying 
to say without ever actually implicating himself. 
Just a few examples from Bowling from Columbine because its been thoroughly 
analyzed numerous times.
Firstly, the gun from the bank. 

http://www.bowlingfortruth.com/bowlingforcolumbine/scenes/bank.htm 

He edits the seen to make it appear like he walked in wrote his name down and 
got a gun. This is supposed to show how easy it is to get a gun. This is a 
horrible example because the same process is used here as any gun shop would 
use. He neglects to show the fact that the clerk then took his ID and ran it 
through I believe its an FBI? database. But it certainly looks like America is 
handing out guns to anyone. If I remember correctly from read the process 
actually took closer to an hour and a half. Weak example yes, but none-the-less 
if shown honestly it would do nothing to promote Moore's arguement that any old 
fool can get a gun in the way he described. The requirements for getting that 
gun from the bank were just as stringent as getting it from any other 
registered gun shop. If he wants to analyze that, then fine, I support it. 
Maybe it is too easy to get a gun, I'm not here to offer an opinion on it, but 
the bank scene is only an example of the same process that would happen in any 
other legal weapon transaction.
I think the NRA bashes are more incriminating of Moore's deceptive style. He 
spends quite a while dehumanizing the NRA and especially Mr. Heston. I had a 
very good friend see this movie and tell me Heston and the NRA were a bunch of 
jerks for jumping up to hold rallies right after the killings in Flint and 
Columbine. I must say, the 'evidence' in the movie was compelling. But some 
other people slowed down the feeds and picked through the internet. The 'rally' 
in Flint wasn't actually a Rally, Heston showed up to support Bush on his 
campaign, and it was 7 months after the incident. The movie shows a headline 
that says, 48 hours after Kayla Rolland is pronounced dead either right 
before or right after the Heston clip. It insinuates the meeting was 48 hours 
after, and there is no way its not intentional. But the headline continues on 
to say something about Clinton making a statement about the incident and is 
completely unrelated to the NRA.
http://www.bowlingfortruth.com/bowlingforcolumbine/scenes/hestonrally2.htm 
He also uses the NRA meeting in Colorado right after the Columbine shootings as 
further ammo against the NRA. The video clips he shows of Heston are actually 
from another rally, and he fails to mention that the NRA cancelled most all of 
its other activities aside from the vote that by law is mandatory. I believe 
its a non-profit law to vote officials or something else similar. Irregardless 
the NRA had to have its meeting, which it did, but the NRA did nothing like 
what Moore shows. Frankly, I don't know what the whole NRA bash accomplished 
for his argument, but his entire basis against the NRA is made up. It looks 
more like he has a vendetta against the NRA and wants to publish it. 
So, quite frankly, I don't trust the guy, or most of what he says. He has been 
explicitly decpetive in BFC. He has something compelling with the Iraq war, but 
just like most of the media, its entirely one-sided. And his theory on the 
Saudi connection and the plot with the Bushes to intentionally start a war is 
pretty weak. Its more an assertion using almost nothing. I think his smoking 
gun is a connection in the Carlyle group, which is a large investing firm. I 
don't know about you guys, but I don't know the other stockholders of the 
companies I invest in, much less socialize and plot to take over the world with 
them. I'm really anxious to see what little camera tricks he threw into this 
one when it comes out on DVD.

Look pal, speaking as one of Mike's Michigan homeboys, you and I are

then you really should only read Mike's books or watch his films under
the supervision of a trained mental health specialist. Until you're
ready to seek mental health services, I suggest you go back to your

mainstream media informational wasteland.

I hope no voters base their vote on anything that Michael Moore writes or 
films. All of his premises and arguements are based on skewed data and emotion. 
He really has a very poor arguement. Its very sad that people would take 
something, written by someone with severe political motivations and uses human 
emotions to get a reaction in stead of logic, as truth and fact. Do us all a 
favor, do your own research, otherwise, don't vote.

He could site 500 works for all I care, it doesn't mean he used the information 
accurately or in context. He is not a source of information, he is a source of 
entertainment. He slants information to make his point, and his point alone. He 
is like any other media outlet, its a lot easier to twist the facts to your 
point than to properly interpert the facts and come up with the truth.

I would certainly like to hear what you would have done in that situation. If 
he had jumped up and ran out of the room he would have caused panic. Of course 
then everyone on the left would say he showed bad form. If he made a statement 
right then and there, he would be speaking on almost no information. There was 
nothing he could do from where he was, there was nothing anyone could do. 
Perhaps he should have run to the local phone booth switched outfits and flown 
out to save the day, but aside from that, everyone was entirely helpless. 
Honestly, I don't think I'll be voting for Bush, but I don't think he did 
anything wrong before, during and the period after, 9/11. I don't think anyone 
would have, or could have done anything better without a seer to predict the 
future. My problems lie with his justifications for the Iraq war, buts thats 
another issue entirely.

Re: [biofuel] 'Fahrenheit 9/11' ban?

2004-06-28 Thread rhsanborn

Extremely unlikely. They are using the corporate sponsor thing to try and get 
adverts banned. I believe there is mention of a similar situation in the past 
where adverts for non-election related items that involved candidates were 
allowed. ALthough they did also make networks halt the playing of Arnold 
Swartzenager movies in California during their re-elections.

I understand the fact that this is propeganda. But, being that it is 
controversial, and that it does have some flaws, there is a very good reason to 
have public discussion about/against/for it. The man is deliberately trying to 
sway the vote to get Bush out of office with this movie. And given the loose 
interpertation of fact and the fact that people are taking it as a documentary, 
I think there is very good reason for public outcry against it. Sorry to make 
the comparison, but, I would speak out against Nazi progapaganda if I thought 
that it was not  well supported, and in that case even if it was well 
supported. Just because it is made as propaganda does not mean it shouldn't be 
argued against. In fact, given its nature, it should be focused on and made 
clear to everyone that it is not documentarial.

Re: [biofuel] Newbie Questions - Cold Weather

2004-06-03 Thread rhsanborn

Fantastic, thats exactly what I was looking for. I might have a little trouble 
if we get hit with some of the really nasty stuff, but a little mix should 
help. Which wasn't mentioned very much in the article. 

Do you guys recommend a Fossil Diesel mix, or the kerosene mix? I've read that 
the kerosene mix is more effective, but I'm still wondering whether it will 
provide adverse results. 

Second, I've also read that seperating a winter and summer mix through the 
process of heating and cooling to seperate the liquid and gel will lower the 
cetane rating. How dramatic is this lower rating? Should I then turn my 
injection timing back up by another 2-3 degrees?

Thanks,

RE: [biofuel] Biodiesel Glycerin-to-Methanol Condensor plans

2004-06-03 Thread rhsanborn

Before you read further, I must start by apologizing for anything I say. I've 
never made a batch of BD or anything to that nature. But I figured I'd offer my 
own idea and plan to make a condenser. Here is a link to my lovely drawing:

http://www.agrath.com/condenser.bmp

Color coded for ease of use. Let me explain it. The red is the stuff we trying 
to get methanol out of. We heat that to the boiling point of methanol (150?). 
Then, the methanol turns into a gas and should travel up into the white funnel. 
This funnels the gas into the blue condenser. I personally would like to use a 
piece of 1 or 2 inch copper pipe with either a quarter inch piece of copper 
coiled around it to provide fresh water for cooling, and or one of those 
flexible steel tubes to do the same thing. The black and green part is simply 
the container that the methanol will drop into.  

Like I said, I really have no clue, but that is similar to what I've seen in 
other condensers. There is another one in which the condenser is submerged in 
water, I think this would work fine as well. I'm not exactly sure on the weight 
of methanol gas, so I'm not sure if it will rise to meet the condesner in my 
drawing, but I think it would. You would also need some way to keep cool water 
running through that coil, a small pump in a small tub of water should suffice 
though. 

Once again, just my silly ramblings. 

Randall Sanborn
