The Aardvark Is Ready

Yes, we should all take our political advice from Barbarella /s. Although I must admit as a 18 yr old young male, I had plenty of "fantasies" if you will, of Ms Fonda undressing for bed, in the opening scene. Still a cult classic movie fave of mine. Does that make me a sexist pig?
And make I ask Jane, where exactly does she think all those products she used to make her fortune came from? Even her most infamous stunt, y'all know what I'm talkin' about, would not have been possible without all the petroleum products, invented by those evil ,white men. I assume she didn't walk on water to get there.

An insult to the profound meaning of Veterans Day (AKA Memorial Day).

joe biden's fantasy queen. Ted Turner even kicked her out of bed. Smartest thing he ever did.

I certainly do not agree with everything Jane Fonda says, but she does make a good point about the location of nasty power plants, mines, etc. I think that the location of the worst polluters of the fossil fuel industry are mostly determined by amount of wealth in the area which is often related to race. No wealthy White fossil fuel-loving American would ever allow a coal-burning power plant, mine, oil refinery, etc., near their neighbood.

So a power plant is located where one is needed. Its costs money and loss of efficiency over a distance. They need to be fed and maintained, and have machinery moved all around. You can't locate a powerplant in Antartica. A mine isn't located anywhere there isn't something to mine... Oil refinery's are also located where oil is transported or can be transported.

I went to a college that was surrounded by city. People would ask, why did they build it there, when there is so much open country around. The answer is, they didn't. It was all alone, far away from the city when built, way up on a hill all by itself, the city spread and people moved in and built later, some are poor folk. You'd say they built that college because property was cheap at the expense of those poor people.

I know people who moved into the country where I live, and have taken dairy farmers to court over the smell and noise spreading of manure in their fields just like they have for 100 years...... YOu'd say, that industry is ruining those New Jersey City folks homes by spreading their smelly refuse all around them... DUH.

Now I know a mine where people spent many millions to dig, just to see if they could find something because there were poor people living there... wait, another DUH.


Jane Fonda deserves the title traitor because she earned it. I value her opinions based on that truth.


So if you have a house that is near a port, or the end of pipe lines, exits on highways or a rail hub, or on top of gold deposit, or next to a farm... guess you have to deal with the industry.

Veterans Day is not the same as Memorial Day. Veterans Day is celebrated on Nov 11th.

May the bitch live to be 200 years old , paralyzed from the neck down. I am being kind.

I have yet to find any worth in anything Hanoi Jane says.

kivasdad Loc: central Fl

After what she did in North Vietnam, she should have been shot on returning stateside, nothing she says is
of interest to me.

SteveR Loc: Michigan

Remember her exercise videos and programs? Jane was one big capitalist and learned from the best of the White Supremacists.

The Aardvark Is Ready

Yeah. All made from bubble gum and rainbows and not evil petro products. /s

SteveR Loc: Michigan

Memorial Day is distinctly different from Veterans Day. Memorial Day is not the day that we celebrate those who served. Memorial Day is the day that we remember those who died. As a kid in the fifties I knew exactly what it was for. They didn't shoot off a cannon in the cemetery on Veterans Day, for one thing. If you are my age, you must know or at least be obliquely aware of individuals who were killed in wartime.

Oh really. Try going to Page Arizona. The coal powered plant is about five miles from town. So, effectively it is in their neighborhood.

Oil wells are placed where there is oil. Most coal powered power plants are located where there is coal. Mines are placed where there is a valuable mineral to mine. That has nothing to do with the wealth in the neighborhood. In fact, if you go through Oklahoma the oil wells are generally in locations that have wealth. They have the wealth because of the oil, not the other way around.

As to oil refineries they are placed either in locations where there is oil, or in locations where it is easy to transport oil to and from the location. Are you seriously trying to say that the oil refineries on the Gulf of Mexico are placed there because the residents are poor? The oil refineries pay some of the highest wages in the area. They help people's standard of living, not the other way around.

SteveR Loc: Michigan

I lived five houses from the foundry of Pontiac Motors. Our '57 Chevy got pitted out. Everybody in our neighborhood said we lived in the best neighborhood ever. One reason? The school and the gigantic park across the street from where I lived. If you watched the series The Men Who Built America, you know that there was a price that was paid by the people of this country to build it. You didn't work in the coal mines, steel mills or factories of this country without paying physical dues. My Grandfather suffered from a touch of black lung from his time in the coal mines. My neighbor lost hearing from his time in the foundry. For the most part, those were white people. Jane doesn't talk about those people and the prices they paid, but THEY were the people that built this country.
