You must get political, it is a big issue with wood burning and not everyone understands wood.
We must all keep talking about politics and how it changes how we burn wood, so we can keep burning wood.

Scoot - Consider yourself lucky that you don't live here in New England.  The progressives ( i.e. liberals) have taken over the governments and now we're starting to see exactly what they are made of; a bunch of lunatics.  What's more troubling is the news media is on their side and they slant the news to fit their agenda.  If someone with an opposing point of view offers their insight, they are marginalized and given little air time.

I don't know about that Roger.Still can't beat New Hampshire laws over all,...And Im proud to live in New England.. Burning wood will never be outlawed..

Thanks Willie for the offer but this IS my country and I fully intend to defend her from the left and right wing extremists, in case anybody has not figured it out yet I am a proud LIBERTY minded LIBERTARIAN, GOD save THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!

im not talking draft dodging or anything slim..just a handshake and wobbly pop or two and some conversation on wood burning and life in general.

MattyNH - Don't get me wrong, I believe NH has the checks and balances in place to keep state government at bay.  I love living in NH.  I wouldn't be here if I didn't.  It's more of the federal level I'm worried about,  They are becoming too intrusive, and I mean from all parties.  Can anyone say NSA?  I believe the Patriot Act signed into law in 2001 and overwhelmingly supported by both parties started this downward spiral and I don't expect it to get any better, perhaps it will get worse.  But, knowing how it is for some people around world, we have it darned good in the country.

Gotta get ready for work.  Have a great MattyNH,  Roger

Can't vote out an organization that isn't elected.

[hoardac]

They are going to force me to live deeper in the woods.

[Roger2561]

As a person (me) who is center to right leaning, I feel anyone whose been in office for more than 2 or 3 terms has been there too long.  That includes all parties; Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, etc...  I believe around that time they begin to lose touch with reality and become fixated on their legacy rather than working for the people who put them there.  Plus, I also believe it may cut down on the amount of corruption.  Perhaps I'm being to simplistic in my thinking but I think this is a start.  Roger

Roger  Your thinking just fine.  ( Term limits ) 4 terms for the House ( 8 years )  and 2 terms for the Senate  ( 12 years )   Time for some knew people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MattyNH]

Ya I agree there should be term limits.. Also the whole health care for life for free ( a benefit they get) should end as well.. Once you out of office or term is up.. Now "you" got to fork the health ins bill instead of the tax payers.. It's no different than if I was to switch jobs

[Roger2561]

I wholeheartedly Agree, MattyNH.  No more free ride.  If they pass laws that every American has to follow, they should too.

[slimjim]

They can call me anything they want to, it is thier LIBERTY. What matters to me personally is what those who know me, call me. Being a libertarian is not unpatriotic, in fact I think that it is just the opposite. Being a crook or warmonger is unpatriotic.

[chillyhiker]

I heard a news report the other day on the radio and dont recall if it was china or japan but one of those countries has banned open air grills....they would freak at the site of an owb....

[Scott7m]

Our freedoms are under attack on all fronts, anyone that tries to play it off as no big deal makes me want to slap them in the head to see if there is anyone home, this isnt what our veterans fought to protect, this isnt the reason immigrants fled to this land, this isnt why we fought a revolutionary war, obama and those like him can kiss my hind end!

What is the difference in our OWB and an in-home wood burner with a chimney? They both expel wood smoke/gasses.  My state(Tennessee) doesn't have any regulations as far as I know. Not many OWB around me but there are a lot of chimneys around with smoke coming out.

big business doesn't like it when regular working people figure out ways to keep more of their earned money, their used to everyone just throwing it right back too them. They have a lot of power[MONEY,LOBBIEST,LAWERS AND A HEATHY DOSE OF JUST PLAIN GREED}not much we can do, is there? seems like all we do is try to elect people that represent us just to find out they don't,then their just set for life.Hate to say this but I,m getting kind of tired of voting then find out its just another a$$ hole don't feel like I ever vote for the right one.Do they pass leg on owbs becauce all they care about is the enviroment? or do they just want more of our money?seems pretty clear to me.Dont mean to ramble on but I,m just kind of a simple minded sob work hard every day and take care of my own,thats the American way,I,m proud and thankful I still can,but feel awfull bad for a lot of folks that just don't have that opportunity anymore,when the money gets tight we mean nothing its always them first.But I think that just makes some people stronger.for now gov just strolls thru us like a field of wildflowers we need a proper mix of rattle snakes in the field.Still proud American,Just don't have much pride in gov.
