Yeah I had about 10 PM's yesterday and they're gone.

Wierd That wasn't anything a mod did Bob. There's too much gone in a bunch of threads and forums; believe me none of the mods has that much energy.

If you were your own boss you wouldn't have to cowtow to corporate bullshit.

How much water/lbs of honey?

Facism and communism as practiced in the real world both share the whole cult of personality thing. I'm sure you could get more traction if you were talking about a statue of Stalin as opposed to Lennin, but as it stands I think most people view the statue of Lennin as kitchy art. I just think it is ironic that the statue was put in place at the point where Fremont changed from a run down neighborhood for artists and hippys to a flashy trendy place to be. I recently saw a bumper sticker: Fremont Sucks Now thanks suzzie Hey KK Booga booga yabba yabba ugh.... (get it)

fuzzy wuzzy was a bear fuzzy wuzzy had no hair fuzzy wuzzy wasn't fuzzy was he. I kind of like the Inferno by Dante too, but I'm not sure if that's a poem.

yes

huh it works for me I suggested that Greg W might want to get maried to Mike.

I believe this thread is about to take a turn for the worse.

Trask actually has a sense of humor on the other hand when you piss of Mike I gaurentee a firestorm of PM's threatening you. It's both funny and scarry at the same time. Good luck!

Why not start out by calling Mike Adamson a glorified Rent-a-Cop.

The main thing that went wrong at 3 Mile Island was shitty human factors engineering. The controls for the plant were very poorly designed so when they had a problem it got totally out of hand. In terms of economic impact if we sign on to Kyoto or try some other measure the biggest loser is going to be the coal industry. They know that, and that's why the Western Fuels Association (the coal industry) has funded so much bullshit science trying to stop the talk of climate change. There are a lot of very bad economic impacts. Just think how much every port city will have to spend to deal with higher sea levels. The current models show that Seattle and other NW cities will have to vastly increase the size of water reservoirs. Internationally the Insurance industry is going to get hit with a lot more claims due to, "freak," storms. Whole areas of Africa will stop being able to support any type of agriculture...the list goes on. Anyway I'd be willing to sign up for more nukes if some conservatives would sign up for higher CAFE standards.

However the government will end up subsidizing the drilling opperation just like they subsidized all other extractive businesses in the Western US.

I believe it's some police code; as in, "We've got a 4-20 in progress." I first heard it about 8 years ago too.

If you're so superior perhaps you should go somewhere else.

That's true, but they need to feel a little pain too. I know people who go to Bejing, and they bring back stories of a nasty city covered in coal dust. I figure just switching to oil would reduce the total carbon output. They may not have to meet the level of reductions a first world country should, but they need to agree to do more.

I agree that not involving China and India is the biggest weak point of the Kyoto treaty. On the other hand increasing CAFE standards has the effect of putting a stick behind the carrot. Detroit is very resistant to increasing milage standards for their vehicles. It's a very short sighted view. Just look at the problems GM is having; part of it is due to them missing the hybrid boat. The auto makes sure pitched a fit for years over installing air bags in cars, but it doesn't seem to have caused a major disruption in their sales. In the end forcing Detroit to increase their milage standards will make them more competative in the market place and thus more profitable.

You may want to look at how terms are defined. In the geologic sense 100 to 200 years is a couple seconds. Most reports I've read make predictions over that time period however a long time period is probably 100,000 years or more.

Witty, intelligant, and insightful. As always. Why yes I am intelligent

There are other ways of getting the message out. I could spend years snorting 2 cycle and still have more brainpower then you have.

That's fine, but that's not what the Yard Sale is for. Famous or not your ebay auction or not.

Hey j_b how come you're attacking Jay B when it was Fairweather who was pitching the biggest fit about Jim's vacation to Europe.

Yeah, and no more cheating at the base of Godzilla; I came back on Sunday and killed that maple.

Dumbshit
