I was involved in one of these debates with mr2mk1g. The conclusion was that most of the British population does not know the law in these matters. Thus, if you defend yourself and it's bought before a jury, there's a real risk there for the defender. We are all engines of karma

And, they're making those constant little popping sounds while they chew. Very annoying. We are all engines of karma

Agreed 100%. I can't stand people who do that. What's even worse is seeing parents who let their kids eat like that. We are all engines of karma

Ben, I was watching all of yall. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated

Here's one that sprang to mind... It's a night jump in Lodi, CA around October, late 80s. The Twin Beech was flying, and there was 8 or so of us going up on the same load. There was a foot rail welded onto the outside of the door, to get floaters out. Me and a friend went out first and hung onto the foot rail while everyone climbed out for exit. There was a huge silver dollar moon over Lodi, with a thin cloud layer at about 6K. Huge blue flames (3 feet?) were shooting out of the engines. My friend and I were inside the laminar air flow under the plane, so we could hear each other woo-hooing, etc. It was spectacular. We are all engines of karma

So, the question still stands. How do they get so head high? We are all engines of karma

I just spent a weekend in NH's wind tunnel. Some Air Speed guys were coaching a couple of the teams. Their body position was impressive, to put it mildly. How do they get so head high? We are all engines of karma

Bill, I've taken alot of thermodynamics courses in my life, so I have a reasonable grip on that subject. I can remember the first question they asked us in that course: You leave your refrigerator door open. Is the room cooled or heated? As you know, the room is actually heated because of the excess work done by the refrigeration motor. The whole issue here is one of many forces being in play. No one seems to know which forces are in play and to what magnitude. Granted, in an earlier discussion your point regarding radiation cooling of the earth seemed very valid. What comes in (i.e., solar radiation) has to go out (i.e., radiative cooling by the earth), else the remainder stays in. Everyone agrees that, right now, it seems there is a remainder that's staying in, thus causing warming if no other forces are activated. Other forces that could be activated include an increased amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. What does this water vapor do? Again, no one really knows. Does it form clouds, thus promoting cooling? Does it trap more heat, thus promoting warming? One of the arguments being made by www.iceagenow is that a very significant force contributing to ocean warming is under water volcanic activity. That alone is going to increase water vapor in the atmosphere, with the net effect (in their argument) being an ice age. I've seen alot of arguments on this topic. We're all in agreement that something is going on. We're not all in agreement as to the magnitude of that, and how much is being cause by human activity. I'm all for being a responsible inhabitant of this planet. We have to be. Otherwise, we can kill it, or make it a less hospitable place to live. We are all engines of karma

Why not take our forces out of Germany and other similar countries? That would save some money, you'd hope. We are all engines of karma

Are there still places that take those?!? I've got a trunk full. Would love to turn them into beer. We are all engines of karma

I didn't say water is a green house gas. I said net effect it cools the earth. Sounds like we agree We are all engines of karma

I've read some of their literature, see: http://www.iceagenow.com/ Their arguments can be difficult to follow, but here's my understanding in a nut shell: 1) The ocean warms up. 2) Water vapor increases in the atmosphere. 3) Water vapor reflects sunlight. 4) The Earth cools, alot. 5) The water freezes. 6) Cycle repeats itself over some prolonged period of time. So, anything that's increasing the water vapor in the atmosphere can aid this effect. We are all engines of karma
