Well, now we can agree on something. Both are pretty awesome. But you'd probably prefer somewhere outside of both of those. Somewhere like Mcclellanville or Black Mountain. And don't write off the G'Vegas/Upstate. It's pretty sweet here.

This is bullshit by the way. No matter which sideyour political wanker hangs to, this crap is retarded. The kind of innovation Tesla represents is what we should be encouraging. When I see a politician go completely against one or more of the basic tenets of his particular persuasion to placate a special interest, it confirms for me that as a nation, we are royally fucked if we stay our current course with this crew of fools at the helm. :ohno:

Good options. I would chose Awendaw for its proximity to the ocean, the forest and the City.

Awendaw is pretty sweet. :nod: I'm just more familiar with the Santee Delta and those backwaters. But the Ashepoo and Edisto drainages are fantastic too. I've just started getting into fishing those as the north keeps getting more and more crowded with boats.

That's very true. Awendaw is getting popular and soon people will be moving out there in droves.

Not just stifling innovation, but they're trying to stifle US innovation by a US company named after one of the most important US citizens ever...in a part of the US. The whole thing is absurd.

This is a perfect example of how lobbyists control legislatures. I'm sure the auto dealers are behind this and every legislator has multiple car dealers in their district bitching about how it will hurt their business, they'll have to lay people off, etc. If you've ever spent time in the statehouse you can see it. I've been at committee and subcommittee meetings and seen legislators look at lobbyists to see how they should vote. :ohno:

You know what I was meaning by that. It's unbelievable. They represent a party that focuses so much energy in defense of the free market and railing against lobbyist and then to do this is beyond hypocritical. I hope NC voters are wise enough to be outraged. Doubt it.

That's the problem. The vast majority of people just don't seem to know or care that their government is bought and paid for by a select few.

They didn't ban climate science. They favored one climate science view. See http://www.scientificamerican.com/artic ... e-senators" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

This is the view they favored:
Speaking to Nature, Dean accused the oceanographic community of ideological bias. “In the United States, there is an overemphasis on unrealistically high sea-level rise,” he says. “The reason is budgets. I am retired, so I have the freedom to report what I find without any bias or need to chase funding.”
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
