carbon dioxide.....

research this morning has my mind a thinking....according to wikipedia...

Global fossil carbon emissions 1800 – 2004.
Burning fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum is the leading cause of increased anthropogenic CO2; deforestation is the second major cause. As of 2004[update], around 27 gigatonnes of CO2 are released from fossil fuels per year worldwide, equivalent to about 7.4 gigatonnes of carbon (see List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions); in 2006 8.4 gigatonnes carbon were emitted [1]. With some simple calculations based on the surface area of the Earth, normal atmospheric pressure, and an estimate of roughly 400ppmv atmospheric CO2 content one can calculate that the atmospheric CO2 content is currently approximately 3 teratonnes.

simple solution if you ask me.... burn less fossil fuels...and stop cutting down the trees...!!!

okay....this one really gets me.... why are we bailing out Bank of America.... honestly.... my experience with BOA (Bank of America)....is they could give a flying banana peel about their patrons... BOA...banking tricks....explained to me..by a BOA employee.....just before i closed my account with them..over 3 years ago....is .... they add up all the checks that come in...and if collectively it is over your balance...they charge an overdraft fee for all the checks... instead of paying the checks your account will cover.....example: if you have $100.00 in your account...and 3 checks come in totaling $100.01... instead of paying the checks that your account will cover...they add the total amount...charge an overdraft fee (at that time $33.00 per check) for all 3 checks causing your account to go into a $99.00 deficit....

in our state we have several locally owned and operated banks with integrity....why not pull your money from the major conglomerates and put it in local banks that give a damn about you... your family...money and our state..... my personal experience with "BancFirst" a state owned and operated bank is top notch.. even though i am not on the high end of the financial world.....they have always treated me with integrity and have been more than fair.....they offer most all the benefits the large national banks have and BancFirst doesn't cheat you out of your money just to make a buck.... another thing that i have never experienced with BancFirst which was common practice of BOA...is they do not announce your balance over the intercom at the drive through...which happened to me on several occasions with BOA....

i'm just saying....another simple solution... support state owned banks and businesses....

in Oklahoma there is a new campaign to support local business owners....so why not start with the banking industry.... if we create a strong local economy....wouldn't it resonate...nationally... who needs BOA....or AIG... when there are wonderful locally owned legitimate alternatives with integrity....

i believe it's time to stand up and say no more....let's get back to the basics...keep it at home.... help our state and the people who live in it..... !!! let's take back....what belongs to us...and stop giving it to those who waste and destroy....

SUPPORT State of OKLAHOMA businesses...
