I want my paperless office

And I want it yesterday.

And I want to drive to it in a Chevy Volt.

I think global warming is a scam. But green technology, and not supporting terrorism by buying Saudi oil, I can definitely get behind that. If the way that's going to happen is by scientists posturing and BSing about the stuff that people produce by simply BREATHING is polluting the planet, more power to em.

You know, if you have such a hard time believing all this science crap, you should really get up from your computer, move to a nice dirt farm in Pigshit, Iowa and hump some sheep the way God intended.
