billvon, you are a very smart man who communicates well (when you want to). You live in a climate that allows this, and clearly you have neighbors that didn't mind you doing this. Good. This doesn't apply to everyone. I'm sure you've been to Britain... We are all engines of karma

How do you know it's not specious? spe·cious [spee-shuhs] 1. apparently good or right though lacking real merit; superficially pleasing or plausible: specious arguments. 2. pleasing to the eye but deceptive. Well, at least you admit such. No, the problem is those that are "doing what it takes" don't know what is costs, and refuse to consider practical alternatives. They are out there, and it starts with nuclear (at least with the adults in the room). It's people like you who can be considered a clear and present danger. You actually admitted you haven't thought it through. Nor, do you have any idea what its going to cost. But, what other people think/want isn't relevant. Seriously? Wow. You are taking yourself far too seriously. You should stop reading the NYTimes, and related papers. Give me one link to a real climate scientist's publication that you've read. At this point in the conversation, you get to define "real". Enough of my reply to yours. One more question - what is the weight fraction of CO2 in the atmosphere? We are all engines of karma

Like, in North Korea? We are all engines of karma

Wow, you actually do seem to believe in market choice. Now, you're getting into liberal cognitive dissonance, again. Why wouldn't those employees go down the street and get a job there? We are all engines of karma

So, you are talking Apple, Google, etc., ...right? How do you define ridiculous profits? Well, that's commonly referred to as a "partner". And those guys go through hell and back to make it. Employees never experience that kind of long term uncertainty, unless the company goes under. It's commonly referred to as "risk-reward", and it's essential to the growth of the private economy. Where else does a government get its money from, if not from taxing company profits and employee pay? We are all engines of karma

As long as the local town's tax assessor doesn't see a dumpster in front of your house. Just ask Andrew Cuomo's girlfriend... BTW, Andrew Cuomo is the current governor of NY State. We are all engines of karma

Sounds like your opinion, quade. Why shouldn't the minimum wage be $1MM/hour? We are all engines of karma

I thought Full Metal Jacket was an excellent movie... We are all engines of karma

That is some serious talent, IMO... We are all engines of karma

Fixed it for you. We are all engines of karma

Years later, they are still waiting for the Federal Government to take care of them. Even after all that money has been appropriated to them. We are all engines of karma

In the context of this thread, yet another specious statement on your part. You do seem to specialize in these, billvon, in the course of my years of experience here. There have been many times where I've actually learned something from your thoughtful posts. But, there have been many more times where you can be just another monkey flinging poo at people. Stop that, please. You are better than that. We are all engines of karma

OMG, ROFLMAO... We are all engines of karma

Where is the bubble for the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere? We are all engines of karma

I thought that was a picture of a hemorrhoid... And a very successful one at that. We are all engines of karma

Free markets work. Always a selection to choose from. BTW, I like this one...

Just reread this... It's 30GT being put into the atmosphere per year... My question still stands, quade. What is the weight fraction of CO2 in the atmosphere, today? I want to see your answer in this forum. We are all engines of karma

IIRC, it's about 30 GT..., not 3,000. We are all engines of karma

Can I be any clearer? We are all engines of karma

I see the same thing. I've yet to see quade revisit. We are all engines of karma

What is the weight fraction of CO2 in the atmosphere? We are all engines of karma

Something tells me he wouldn't be getting into the jihad thingy in front of that crowd... We are all engines of karma

Just read the article, and found it interesting that Anthony Kennedy wrote the opinion. First, Kennedy told the people filing the suit to grow up. I found that refreshing. Second, the town isn't allowing only Christians to say the prayer. IIRC, the intent behind separation of Church/State as discussed somewhere in the Federalist papers was to prevent the State from having an official religion (e.g., Maryland is a Catholic state). This was pretty common in the original colonies. Even now, prayer before deliberative bodies convene is common, e.g. our own House of Representatives: Office Of The Chaplain, United States House of Representatives We are all engines of karma

If they were allowing only Christian representatives, then it would be a problem. We are all engines of karma
