GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul is notorious for his zany followers, which makes sense, given that the man is slightly eccentric bat-sh!t crazy himself. I mean, you have to be a little off-balanced in order to support someone that believes a U.S. border fence would be built to keep Americans from leaving, or that that saving the Jews in World War II was a bad idea.
Go put on your tinfoil hats, because the latest bit of insanity to come out of the Ronulan camp is a doozy.
Do you know what contrails are? They are those streaky cloud-like trails in the sky left by airplanes. Theyre totally harmless; just clouds created by the heat of the exhaust reacting with the coolness of the air at the high altitude.
Not according to some koo-koo-crazy people. They think that the government is conspiring to poison us with sunscreen or some such nonsense. But never fear! The Ron Paul supporting contingent of the chemtrail brigade has figured out how to combat the evil lines in the sky with vinegar.
Thats right. Just fill up a household spray bottle with some vinegar, and shoot at will toward the sky when the poisonous chemtrails appear. Within ten minutes, or at least within half an hour, the vile clouds will completely disappear!

(8,571 posts)Will you honor my last wishes and gather up all my vinegar covered dust and put it back in the spray bottle?
I like to recycle.

I can also establish the 'Sunset Dreams Foundation' for education about chemtrails. Heinz could step up as a donor. Maybe while we're at it we can talk about a line of spray-bottle vinegar in your honor

(8,571 posts)I always wanted to leave a legacy, but must you really make me a poster child by putting my likeness on Vinegar spray-bottle?
That could really confuse the poor souls more, they might think I went missing. I guess they could always try to find me in the chemtrails. McCain could endorse it too by yelling at the cloud "Hey! Get off of my Cloud, dammit!"

(55,476 posts)Do you know how much chemicals one would have to spray from that height to even remotely affect people on the ground?
I'll give you a historical example: In California during the 70s helicopters would spray insecticide to kill the medfly. They had to eventually lower their flight just to hit the trees.

Science is cool stuff. Contrails are simple, simple science -- like "Where did my ice cube go? And what's this puddle of water about?" simple.

Robb
(39,665 posts)Can you tell me where we disagree?
1. There is moisture in air.
2. Cooling air can release moisture.
3. Air is colder the higher you go.
4. Jet engines are hot.
5. Hot things passing through air heat the air.
6. Heated air that finds itself suddenly surrounded by cold air will cool.
7. Cooling air can release moisture (that's #2 again).
Are we in agreement on this so far? If not, where do we diverge?

(115,920 posts)the obvious point is that standing in your back yard squirting vinegar a few feet into the air won't make them go away. That's science, too. Contrails are up there about 35,000 feet or more, and how the hell are you going to get your vinegar up there with a household spray bottle? And even if you could do that, how could a few ounces of vinegar vapor affect hundreds of pounds of water vapor (or whatever the woowoo crowd thinks it is)?
You will end up smelling like a salad when your vinegar vapor falls back onto you, and the contrails will dissipate in a short time anyhow.
Science.

(3,539 posts)Granted it's more expensive than vinegar so don't waist it by spraying it around the garden.
Unkle Jacks chemtrail receipy.
1 bottle Jacks chemtrail remover.
1 Glass.
Carfully mesure 3 fingers of remover into glass. Do not dilute.
Take internaly.
Check for chemtrails.
Repeat process untill.
1) Chemtrails dissappere.
2) It gets dark.
3) You begin to think that contrails are pretty and may be you're friends.
Think I'll try that next time!

(35,392 posts)that these chemtrails were put in the atmosphere to get NE Ohio to vote for Democrats ...
never mind the fact that most of the "fallout" would not hit the ground until probably well into the area of the RWers ...
If anything, the chemtrails would probably infuse drugs into the Ohio area to elect REPUBLICANS ... Ohio has, for the most part, been controlled by Republicans ... Governor, State House, State Senate, most non-"urban" areas ...
No wonder Ohio is losing population status in the U.S. ...
