We just have more people complaining about stuff, real and imagined, louder and more often. No one cares much about what's true, only about manipulating opinion. Making up stuff just works a lot better.

We have probably as much complainers up here (maybe less), but we definitely don't give as much way to the individual freedoms and rights over the community... we're more "socialist" as we've been told... LOL

Funny thing about mercury.
I have a 6 pound bottle of the stuff from a very old dentist's office.
I called the fire department because they take hazardous goods. It's too much for them. They're interested in old thermometer quantities.
I called the recycling depot. They don't deal in hazardous goods like that - paint and flammables only.
I called a commercial waste disposal company but because I don't have an account with them they won't take it. I no longer have a business so I can't open an account with them.
So here I sit with an interesting bottle of mercury.

We also have 160 acres of land here. We're not allowed to have more than 3 dogs because the barking may annoy our neighbours who are 3/4 mile away. We don't want more than 3 dogs, but I find it amusing that no matter your land size they have focused on dog barking. Why? Because the little hamlet busybodies got together and organized a bylaw.

I'm so glad our government is looking out for our best interests.

Mitch,

I would suggest that you look into a dealer of rare metals (platinum, silver, gold, MERCURY). You might have some cash sitting there in that little bottle! About a year ago I thought it was going for near $190 US per pound for the dentists grade of purity. Don't quote me on that price, I read that from someone trying to sell some.

Wow, you're right Gordy.
I have not thought of selling it.
You're right about the price.
Those guys would know how to transport it too.
Thanks.

You are most welcome! It is not a huge amount of cash, but it is nothing to balk at either. What else would you do with it anyway? Glad you didn't just dispose of it through a hazardous waste collection site before knowing this. Ugh! That would have been a downer.
