You haven't viewed Gore's movie yet. It's on SHO:

Watch it, and your questions will be answered.


It's propaganda.

Yes, that is the truly sad part. Then again, I don't think real winners
would ever run for political office in this country, so we'll never have
that as a ballot option. The best we can do is vote for the least
harmful loser.


When you can buy votes with money taken from people who work, innovate,
create and put their time and money at risk then elections cease to be
a fair and equitable means to elect people.

Our politicians are hell-bent on destroying our economy by driving
jobs out. If you want to pollute the world even worse send the
manufacturing to China!!!!! There are no restrictions over there!

Perhaps we US citizens should find our moral values, and decide not to
purchase goods manufactured in countries that lack environmental and
fair labor laws. Or our nation could remove its environmental laws,
and we could all choke on smog like Mexico City. The choices are
ours, after all.

Actually, it demonstrates that the majority of voters are easily
fooled, and a significant number of voters have a vested interest in
seeing that their leaders advance their personal interests at the
expense of the good of the nation, IMO.


I couldn't agree more Larry. Politicians buy votes and pander to
various factions for theit own self interest. There are no true
'leaders" among any of them.

Our schools continmue to vomit masses of poorly educated (more like
indoctrinated) students having minimal to ZERO understanding of
fundamental principles of economics. The NEA is a HUGE lobby and
receives a massive amount of pandering from most politicians.

garbage in... garbage out.

I think air travelers were better off before airline deregulation.

To hell with
the future generations. So what if they inherit the consequences of
our generation's rush to combust the products of hundreds of millions
or years of life on our planet; it won't affect me today. Brilliant!
Why didn't I think of that? :-(


As I stated Larry, the population growth of other areas of the world are
eclipsing that of the United States with each passing year. We *might*
get many thousands, even millions of more years on this planet if the
population growth were to stop... and we began to manage resources on
a *global* level....

....but intellectually you must admit that will *never* happen so why
get your panties in a wad hoping that somehow the government of the
United States can pass laws to fix it.

But to do so we are screwing which nature which the environmentalists
have been saying is BAD for the last 50 years or so.

Oh, you mean like banning fluorocarbon aerosol propellants to diminish
the destruction of the ozone layer? :-(

Then there is the whole issue that the warming trend isn't even limited
to Earth and that Mars is experiencing global warming as well.

That's a diversionary argument that skirts the issue of the effect of
global warming on the potential extinction of species, flooding of
coastal land, and ocean current disruption.

for the other 90%, then gov't is the only way to make that happen. I'd
love to see someone actually try to bring the IRS up on charges of
extortion. Stop paying your taxes and men with guns WILL show up in
your house in the middle of the night!!!


Well stated Robert. In fact... if the government had to stand the
scrutiny of its own rules for private entities, the Social [in]Security
System would be shut down and its administrators (the US Congress)
would be facing class action lawsuits for breach of contract and
numerous SEC violations.

If its such a great retirement program why does the government *force*
people to participate??

But I digress...

Then why did you ask that it be done?


Not asked, challenged. One should be prepared to prove what one asserts.

But it cost more.
