Routed to a small outlet at the top of the piece, the top of the forehead, the collected gas could be ignited to produce heat and light symbolizing the width and breadth of the Dear Leaders thought. <br /><br />The amount produced would be quite modest and probably less than the amount produced by the match required to light it, symbolic of the vast subsidies typically required of "green" projects, but that too fits the model.<br /><br />And yes, when it dries out and you're tired of it stinking the place up, you can plow it into your subsistence garden where it will finally produce something useful.Billllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913354887560267235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472211903033725545.post-24751539397259690762012-11-28T19:16:14.533-07:002012-11-28T19:16:14.533-07:00I wanted to think that a bs sculpture could be sol...I wanted to think that a bs sculpture could be sold for garden soil enrichment. . <br /><br />But -- how do you certify the contents came from happy cows, not gathered in CAFE (agri-business, non-sustainable feedlots and confinement operations), and not gathered from cows grazing on leased Federal lands (accused during Bush I of depleting the ozone layer).<br /><br />In short, any use of cattle, cow, bull, steer, calf, or veal droppings would offend the nature and goal of the EPA, and the Obama administration -- they want to <em>suppress</em> cows and the methane emitted (belched) during digestion.<br /><br />I still have yet to see anyone show me that cows grazing produce anymore methane than the grass would have anyway, if left to a natural growth and decay cycle. 90%+ of the annual release of methane comes from swamps and wetlands -- and the Federal government protects and enlarges those! But I digress.<br /><br />Perhaps a Mount Rushmore treatment of some Chicago slums, with Valerie Jarrett, President and Mrs. Obama, and Rev. Wright rendered, looking down on the inner city they are rapidly impoverishing. A PhotoShop image, Lego(tm)s, or a full architectural treatment, would touch the soul.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.com
