I don't know... seems like damning evidence to me of collusion. But they are democrats, so it is OK!!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I saw it.... I had to laugh a little. I think all the Balwins are a bit crazy!!!! I wonder what his brother thought of that interview. I wonder if he will still talk to him. Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Yup, because my first response was anger... Like so many other people. I also felt Gore was the weaker hearted of the two canidates that ran (And I voted for Gore I never expected a war everyone thought things were fine here in the US). I was very glad that GWB was in office, because I was confident that the assholes who did this would soon pay. Oh.... BTW, you try to gather up the military force and move them over to Afganistan in under 2mo .... Good luck !!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

You know what Philly... I do believe it, you know why? Because as I was getting to ready to board the plane at LGA aiport in NY that morning at 8:40, and we were stopped and evacuated and I had to walk through queens only to over a hill and see the TT burning... THen seeing the military might circling over head, I turned to my fiance' and said... "Thank GOD Gore wasn't elected, because I know he wouldn't have the balls to go after those that did this." Maybe you can't understand it Philly.... But to be 2 miles from it, to be trapped there all fucking day, to watch the buildings fall in person and then over and over again on TV.... Maybe you just don't get it. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Night that is where I think you are wrong. THis election will be decided by the independants.... THese are the people right now who are on both sides of the fence. The messages that were and will be put out during the RNC will be strong ones, meanwhile Kerry is still trying to find a stance on issues. We all know what Bushes stance on Iraq, abortion, affirmative action, terrorism is. Kerry hasn't had a stance on these issues at all. He is afraid that taking a strong stance will alienate some of his voters, so he sugar coats and beats around the question. Mr. Kerry what is your stance on Iraq? Not what was it. What IS it. If elected what will you do in Iraq? What will you do for Taxes, education, SS,??????? We know what Bush will do, and even if you don't agree with it, knowing is more comfortable for voters than not knowing.

Mr. Kerry too applied for student defferment.... He was refused. What would you have done if You were a student? I don't know if I would call what Mr. Kerry did as honorable either. He is an admitted war criminal, and then he stabbed his fellow Vets in the back By preaching to congress on all the illegal things the "Soldiers" were doing. Also, firing an RPG into a rock infront of yourself causing a little piece of shrapnel in your arm and then signing your own Purple Heart recommendation is not very honorable either. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

What is sad though is a lot of Soldiers in Vietnam got purple hearts for VD. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

At 3yrs I saw ET and it scared the shit out of me. The scene where the men are dressed in space suits walking through tunnels into the house.... At 3 I had no experience of space suits or tunnels, and the image was 2-D. Still, It scared many children inclusing myself. Again, fear is instinctual.... Stand a 3 yr old in the middle of the street and have a car drive at him/her at 50mph. Slam on the brakes and have it stop just short of hitting the kid....... I have 1million $$$$ on a beat that that 3 yr old will either shit his or her pants and or break down into tears. Specific fear such as phobias are learned through experience.... But fear is insticual. Ask any shrink!! Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

not for nothing, but fear is not a learned behavior.... it is instictual. Fight or flight.... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Hey... I don't think it is a bad thing that I haven't traveled to other nations... Travelling takes time, money and desire. Personally, I have no real desire to travel abroad, and i AM proud of that. My country (USA) has so much to offer me and so much to see that it would take lifetimes to do. I love my country and would rather spend time travelling "In house" as it were to see all the great things the United States has to offer. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

No that is funny shit!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

First off, El Nino is not an anomaly any more than La Nina is an anomaly. It is no more of an anomaly than a category IV hurricane - horrible when they happen, but not exactly unexpected. It is no more an anomaly than an earthquake of greater than 7.0 - horrible, but they happen. In a single night in 1970, 300,000 people died from flooding in Bangladesh. 175,000 were killed in 1898. Most of this comes from storm surge from cyclones. Yes, those people need not die. Global warming was not responsible for the deaths in 1898, was it? Still, I recognize and agree with your point that in places like Bangladesh, which is nothing more than a flat, densely populated river delta with very low elevation, rising water level could kill millions. That's why I continue to stress that the environmental movement is dishonest if it argues that interference with natural processes is wrong. The environmental movement seeks global cooperation in maintaining the environment. I view it as a concerted attempt to mold the environment in a way best suited for humankind. I dont' have a problem with that. What you say is TRUE. It is the main reason in the US that most insurance companies don't carry flood insurance on home owner policies without paying extra. Stupid people LOVE to live in flood plains!!! Live by the River, Die by the River It is a poker expression, but it comes from real life. People lived by the rich fertile ground of rivers, however, you can pay the price every few years when it swells..... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Yes, kyoto was a start, but at what cost to the US consumer or to US companies? Was the cost worth the outcome? Is that why we pulled out? If the world invented and Emission free car but it cost 100,000 dollars to buy, would it make sense to outlaw all cars in the US which were not emission free?

According to this study your numbers are Half of what they should be .... more like 1000 Megatons/yr Oh, and you will notice this is just "SOME" of the volcanic output.

I think the biggest mistake environmentalists ever did was framing the discussion in "saving the world". It's not about "saving the world". The world will live long and prosper long after humans are wiped out of existence. The key, is that we need to save the ability of humanity to prosper on earth. The nutshell is that we don't need to save the planet, we need to save humanity. Oddly, humans are the one species on earth that have the ability to severly impact its environment. I have no doubt that we'll continue to do that. I hope we do it before its too late. _Am Ahhh Haaa That is the point!!!!! It has never been about saving the environment! It is about saving ourselves. Darwinism says species come and go ... Humans included. Or, we evolve to the change. Humans are quite adept at learning to cope. The Earth will still LIVE with out us .... Without all Mammals for that matter... THere was a time before us and there will be a time after. Earth though, will not be "Dead" until that ball of fire up there decided to flare up in it's last Hoorahh as it were. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

here is another interesting read.... Read the whole article http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/Articles%202004/Spring2004/global.html ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Hey play nice.... In the past I have made statements about global warming. I have never asserted that GW doesn't exist, however, I have asserted that humans are not the cause. The problem is primarily timetables.... GW and Global Cooling( GC) have been ocurring in a cyclical fashion for billions of years (1 billion anyway since the earth really began to cool down) I am a climatologist/meteorologist who happens (as do many) to believe this is a cycle of nature, Earth's tilt wable as well as Solar Flux are major contributers to this cycle. For the tree huggers though it is clear GW is because we americans drive SUV's ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I will let the article speak for itself. I read many articles on the subject weekly, mainly because it is my job and I find it interesting. But any way.... Just another article discussing arctic shelf Ice. http://www.co2science.org/subject/a/summaries/antarcticaiceshv.htm ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

There is a difference between being a flip flopper and being wrong. Bush was wrong on his estimation of cost. Kerry still hasn't figured out if we should go to war yet. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Um, the state of NH has it's own passports? So you don't think I am crazy here is the article on CNN http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/07/27/gay.passport.ap/ ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

No, they applied through the state in order to have their name changed. They already had the passports, however, the state can update the information there in. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I have to say you people have me intrigued. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty
