12/14/2007 Entry: "MC Girr" Tonight it was decided that my DJ name would be MC Girr. (say it fast) Now I just need to learn how to rock out the beatz0rz! MC Girr will now turn out the phat jams in form of unsourced news stories: ('cause I know you aren't tired of me ranting about this shit yet) Heard today on NPR: China has followed the European Union's example and banned several toxic chemicals from its electronics. That would be good for us if they had not decided to exempt their exports from the ban. This would appear to be a thundering "FUCK YOU" being sent from China to the rest of the world. A gutsy move that has probably made more than one US corporation wonder if they could get away with something similar. Maybe this is revenge for sweatshops? No link is provided as independent proof because the internet has failed me. You get to take my word on it. Oh, and I should also point out that we are kind of asking for it since we haven't banned the chemicals over here, either. We ain't no surrender monkeys when it comes to toxins, NO SIREE! Speaking of taking my word on it, probably a good year ago I heard on NPR that something like 80% of our leafblowers are imported from Japan. If I remember correctly. In fact, Japan even invented leaf blowers. (didn't know that, did ja?) The funny part is that Japan has BANNED the use of leaf blowers in Japan due to the noise and pollution that they cause. At least that's the case if I remember correctly, the internet did fail me a bit on sourcing this one as well. (I would like to see a list of things that are banned in the US that we sell to other countries for comparison (other than slave labor). I'm sure it'd be a doosy and I want to be an equal opportunity hater.) The EPA has said that the old 2 cycle motors have been said to cause more pollution in two hours than a car running for an entire year. This was referring to things like Jet Skis - but leaf blowers do use a two stroke engines as well. While I'm sure they are less damaging than a jet ski they are MUCH more damaging than a RAKE and much much more noisy as well. Despite this they are used extensively in hippie mecca Eugene, much to my amazement. Why spend countless hours buying super organic foods and pesticide free vagina cream and then go outside and munch on the carcinogens being pumped out of noisy, smelly, leave blowers? I think I saw at least one leaf blower in operation EVERY DAY for 3 weeks when fall first started. In big 'ol mean conservative Iowa I think I maybe saw 5 leaf blowers being used IN THE ENTIRE 25 YEARS I LIVED THERE! Say what you want about midwesterners, but at least they aren't afraid of doing a little manual labor. That or they realized that bagging riding lawn mowers pick up leaves even better. Who knows?
