Production of this was made illegal in 2004 (I think, maybe earlier), but for quite a few months thereafter, they were selling off existing stocks. Anyone who burns lumber (any kind) for heat either has more money than sense, or has absolutely no money and is in survival mode. Eric Lucas

It looks like you've once again purposely discounted the fact that most humans exhibit discontinuities. What that means is he didn't always observe the values he generally stood for. Do try to keep up! I see what BAH meant when she spoke of your circular reasoning. And here's some more of you meaningless insulting tirade style of post. You say all that you've said above, yet you label it "your BS about 'traditional American values'." Your posts continue to reek of hatred for your fellow man. Naturally enough your agenda, as demonstrated here, follows closely.

What, exactly, would be your evidence that he "stood for" the same BS values that you pomp on about?

I just the behavior of people that try to act better than me and tell me how to live my life. Eric Lucas
