Just When You Thought it Couldn't Get Any More Orwellian, Britain Writes a New Chapter.

I see this and just about shit myself. How is it possible that the people are standing for this? It's crazy. Best part: check out the comments at the end of the article for a good laugh.
Excerpt from the UK Telegraph:

     "Everyone in Britain could be given a personal 'carbon allowance' Everyone in Britain should have an annual carbon ration and be penalised if    they use too much fuel, the head of the Environment Agency will say."   

Blood. Shooting from my eyes... holy crap.

Timeless Thoughts

He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
~Benjamin Franklin

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.
~Calvin Coolidge

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
~Calvin Coolidge

Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.
~Calvin Coolidge

Though the people support the government; the government should not support the people.
~Grover Cleveland

All socialism involves slavery. That which fundamentally distinguishes the slave is that he labours under coercion to satisfy anothers desires.
~Spencer, Herbert

“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge; I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers.”
~John Adams, 1765

Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
~Ronald Reagan

No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.”
~Samuel Adams

“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.”
~Samuel Adams
