Adapt, or end up as your product...;)


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

That's right, what ever happened to all of those green jobs that Obama promised would save the economy? Up here in the North East there aren't a whole lot of solar farms, or even solar cells.

Yeah, what this country needs is a good war to get the economy rolling. Afghanistan is just not gonna do it. We need a war on the scale of Iran or North Korea to get things humming.

Your party insisted that a ton of them go to CHINA during the stimulus proceedings. In fact there were four filibusters thrown by GOP-ers on the very subject.
It was the death of the "America First" initiative which was supposed to be a cornerstone of the stimulus.

If you think about it, it makes perfect sense, stimulus money going to American companies to make products for America.

I can't help it your party hates America and wants to send stimulus money to China.

Schlack...I'm a pure blood native Texan. Lived here all of my life. Come on, now. Since when did Texas progress into the 20th Century? Just because "evolution" is allowed to be taught one day a month in Texas schools...gezzzzzzzz. I know it gives Texas the appearance of being a bit too aggressive.

We're even working on getting new wheels for the wagons for all of the elected people at the Capitol in Austin. Having new wagon wheels is dang important to our traveling evangelist Governor. Give credit where credit's due.

One of the planet's leading global climate change skeptics has done an apparent about face in declaring global warming "a chief concern in the world" and he'd like to see the world devote at least a hundred billion dollars a year to fight it.

But it's not all doom and gloom, he says.

That should make Tim up in Massachusetts feel a whole lot better. LOL

Rational memes winning out over irrational memes?

What a miracle! God is at work in the world, after all.

I have never denied that I am sympathetic to the ultimate cause endorsed by this "science". My problem and skepticism has always been based on the intimidation that has been used to keep the faithful in line and punish the deniers. Hell, when I built the levies around my house to keep back the oceans when the ice cap melts I explained to my neighbors that they weren't taking this GW stuff seriously enough. ROTFMOL

This guy seems to say he was never a skeptic but was in disagreement with the methods being employed. I just take it one step further, I keep telling you that the truth doesn't need threats and intimidation to be proven true.
