The danger isn't in the "destruction" of the economy, as it is within the control of human beings and has historically always survived in one form or another. However, if it turns out that the hypothesis regarding the human contribution to global climate change is *right*, then the economy is completely irrelevant. So... what do you see as the rational course of action? First off let me rephrase to the destruction of the economy AS WE KNOW IT. The economy "as we know it" is in constant flux. It is not "as I knew it" 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, and is almost unrecoginizable from 40 years ago considering that we were not owned lock stock and barrel by foriegn investors then. We somehow survive, as "the economy" is adaptable and resilient. The same cannot be said about an ecosystem that will no longer support human life. Neil |

True, the American way on the most part is away from violence as a means to influence others. Did you hear about this country that used to be known as Iraq? Other than the occasional mentally disturbed murderous kook, I feel that violence is not the way Christians try to make their point. I think history would strongly disagree with this notion. Crusades. Inquisition. And, what about those folks trying to raise the perfect red cow in Texas? Neil |

Our culture -- not our religion -- is the only thing preventing IEDs and suicide bombers in America. Wow. You are not who I thought you are, Jay. I'm saddened, by your stand on this. I stand by my statement. America is a nation of many religions, united by one culture. The underlying (or, rather, over-arching) principles of our constitution were laid out by Christian men, but the participants are far from monolithically Christian, and the principles are not exclusively Christian. Not all of those who participated in the writing of the constitution were Christian. Some were not religious at all. Neil |

Neil Gould wrote: Recently, Matt Whiting posted: [...] This will become very apparent within a few decades when all of the global warming, er, global climate change "scientists" are proven wrong. That will be the biggest setback to science in our lifetimes. Do you understand that, historically speaking, many scientific hypotheses are proven wrong and that doing so is consistent with the scientific method? Absolutely. Now if only the evolutionists and global warming fanatics would come to understand that. Your two comments are unreconcilable. If you understand the scientific method, then you'd understand the error of your concern about new scientific or empirical findings impacting science in general. Neil |

I suspect that this is why there are so many black men in jail, the inner city culture does not demand that difference be settled in court, indeed the entire court system is out of reach and somewhat of an anathema to the entire group of inner city youth. So when they "take care of business" the law punishes them and perpetuates the class. Islamic radicals are, I'm sure, very interested in these young Americans. It's odd, one solution is hard and expensive and will never be tried. The other solutution is reprehensible to the extreme and at some point, I believe it will be. I'm a little confused. Do you think white suburban and rural youths are out suing each other, hence not getting in trouble with the law? |

Jefferson was definitely an Atheist and the others likely so from all available evidence Bertie Nope, Jefferson was most likely a Deist. |

Also you're going to have to replace florida. Bertie Well they can't tell me what the weathers going to be with anything close to certainty next month why the hell should I believe them when they say what it will be 10, 20 or 50 years down the road? Actually, forecasting has become incredibly accurate in the last twenty years and is getting better all the time, short term certainly. I never cease to be amazed at how accurate winds aloft are, for the most part, and terminal forecasting is probably ten times more accurate than it was even ten or fifteen years ago. As to the predictions they're making long term, so far the trend seems to be accurate. More wind, more storms. record highs and lows.. As for Florida, I can live with that. Mmm me too. Shame about the everglades, though. Bertie Come on Bertie, they said this was going to be a dry winter in the Western US. Hasn't been the case. Both of the last two years they have said would be the worst Hurricane seasons on record. Both years they were wrong. If they keep saying that every year sooner or later they are going to be right. |

Ever notice that when a white guy dates a black girl, she's *really* nice looking, but when a black guy dates a white girl, she's the skankiest whore that you've ever seen? I'm not sure if that says something about what type of girl would date a black guy or just that us white guys have better taste ...... or both .... Really? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi_Klum |

Neil Please cite one legit source that says the current Global warming trend is going to bring about an ecosystem that will no longer support human life. If humans are causing GW then with the exception of us doing something that causes a VERY rapid and overwhelmingly great change (like popping off several 1000 nukes) there isn't anything we can do to cause that sort of change because long before enough had been done to kill everyone enough would be done to kill enough of us to stop the human caused GW. |
