I thought that the only people that trotted out the "It's cold, so obviously global warming isn't happening" line were satirists. I wasn't aware that people still seriously believed that.

Haha it's pretty sad when people don't realize that extremes in weather patterns are part of global warming. More blizzards, droughts, tropical storms, etc.. are gonna continue to happen.Quote:

Haha, it's those government spending cutbacks to offset the increased corporate tax breaks!Quote:

Reinstalled NR2003 last week, as another buddy is retiring next month who raced dirt track years ago, is interested in learning about racing on his PC. Then there is learning more country songs for my weekly gig, Brad Paisley's "Whiskey Lullaby" was last week's tune. Oh ya, I'm online all the time ... thank you Al Gore.
Retirement is great so far, so I need you fellows to keep pouring more money into the retirement funding as what I put in there has already been borrowed **cough, cough** and spent on stopping global warming (hey!! it worked! We now have an ICE AGE coming ... lol)

Hey you've lived a while...does it ever occur to someone that the progressive, envelope-pushers of today are always looked at as tame 30-40 years later?
Did you ever read the Republican stance on Social Security back in the 30s? That boon that you now rely on to afford your Faux News channel was once socialism, and tax, and evil and all that. Then they were against Medicare, labeling that as socialism and an unfair tax. Now healthcare reform is the same thing.
I just wonder, how many times does history have to prove a stance wrong before people get it? Or do these people just not know history? You're lucky you're probably going to pass on before we really see the devastating effects of today's ignorance and inaction on the climate and our ability to survive on this planet, but your legacy - what that entire generation will be known for - is being confronted by a problem and choosing not to believe it. Not to do anything about it. Leaving it to their grandkids to deal with.
It's a shame, but there are lot of members of that generation that are very cowardly and selfish. I know I've inherited these traits to some degree, but I'll strive every day to do better than the idgits that came before me.
Same with Eugenics. That big progressive movement that spawned the Holocaust is very much looked at favorably today. Shhh....they don't teach us about that one in school nowadays.Quote:

Overpopulation will force us down that road, but for now it's a head in the sand issue.
Back to the main theme, terrible idiotic Republican senators:
This guy (who has to be in his 40s or 50s) was asking a doctor why women can't just swallow a small camera, and then have that camera be used for a remote gynecological exam. you know, when it goes through her intestinal tract and pops out the vagina, like all things women eat.
These people make laws. These people restrict voting rights and approve fracking legislation.
I stole that and put it on Facebook. Oh and hi everyone.
