Where the F--- is the EPA?

Water is a necessary element for all life on Earth.  According to various "scientists" and environmental watchdog organizations and groups, Green-House-Gasses are the bane of earthlings.  Water vapor makes up the majority of Green-House-Gasses.  Right now it's 83% relative humidity which is some magic ratio between the relative and absolute humidity for any given temperature.  This dogshit weather sucks.  Where is the EPA telling the water vapor to cut it out?  They went as far as to blame cow farts and hordes of wheezing asthmatics that their puffers were damaging the environment, why not crusade against water vapor?  Most importantly, why not crusade against water vapor anywhere I happen to be?  I have been trying to this myself, but alas, I need big brother to reach down and help me.

Actually, the only one at fault is (besides the horseshit location of South Korea) my wonderful air-conditioner.  It works fine for all of 5 minutes before the condenser shuts off and stops blowing cold air.  The air blowing anytime is musky/smelly as if the internal workings are dirty and moldy.  I took off the front grate to discover this awesome non-removable foam filter thing that smelled like a urine receptacle.  Le fook.  I was thinking maybe there was a dehumdifier option, but its all in Korean.  I looked up the model number online to find that my model does not indeed exist.  Why does it seem whenever you have an issue with something, it truly does not exist anywhere else in space-time?  The evidence that the "fabric" of space time is inconsistent is all around us.  Such as having the only item in existence or where the missing sock goes in the dryer.  There must be some location where all of these things either come from or are sent to.  From my experiences traveling abroad, electric dryers outside of of North America are rare.  I envision a mass exodus of socks from the space-time of North America.  This assumes of course, that space-time changes or is different based on where you are and I am pretty sure that is incorrect.  Science, what say you?

I am currently around half way done with Common Sense.  I am very surprised by its length.  Whenever the word pamphlet comes to mind I think of something short.  Something one to two pages in length.  Common Sense is surprisingly lengthy.  It is a good read.  If nothing else the jabs at the English or French are refreshing.  It makes me wonder whatever happened to Thomas Paine.  You generally hear of Common Sense and then Mr. Paine drops off the map.  I do not believe he was at the 1788 convention to write our current constitution nor do I believe he had any hand in its predecessor, the Articles of Confederation.

Aha!  The bastard went to France.  He played around in the French Revolution and made a mess of things over there.  He continued to write, was somehow elected to the National Convention, despite not being able to speak French.  If only the Frenchman's logic was a strong as his smell.  (I look forward to your comments!)
He wrote the Rights of Man and the Age of Reason and spent some time in prison.  He basically was a trouble maker in France until Jefferson asked him to come back.  He did so then promptly died.  Or so the Wiki tells me.  Further research is required.

He was ostracized in the U.S. due to his criticisms of Christianity which I find interesting.  It is interesting that he used the Bible as a source to dispute the right of Kings, most notably the notion of the divine right of Kings when he wrote Common Sense.  He also does not seem to have any real love of the French nor Europe for that matter.  So what drove him to go to Europe?  As well as he offers and interesting view into 18th century Christianity.  Like many of his time, it appears the Bible was a historical text as much as it was one of scripture.  Paine promoted deism which may be why he mostly quotes the Old Testament.  Many of our founding fathers were men of God, but whenever they had an issue with religion they voiced it.  It seems in the thinkers and doers of the 18th century viewed God and religion almost as if they are separate entities that often crossed each other's paths.

From my brief look into Paine, I can conclude, that maybe the man was just a rebel without a cause.  If there was trouble to stir he hopped on that stirrin' spoon like a black matron in the kitchen.  Once again I look forward to your comments...
