It is now time for Democrats and Obama to give up on health care reform. I have never seen a majority party screw up a critical issue as the Democrats have on health care reform. No matter how much Progressives compromise the 'other side', be they Republicans or conservatives Dems, ALWAYS...

I have no "faith"...in anything. I demand a logical explanation based on evidence. I understand that this 'logical explanation' is based on evidence KNOWN AT THE CURRENT TIME and I am perfectly willingly to CHANGE MY UNDERSTANDING if/when new evidence is submitted. And 'Yes': as a child I...

We, (atheist), do not understand FAITH. That is just another word for training/indoctination, superstition and an catch-all for stuff you can't explain logically. I know of no 'arguments' being made in scientific circles that support the idea of a 'Creator': that is not the purpose of...

Romney/Palin Palin/Romney Romney/Hickabee Hickabee/Romney Palin/Hickabee Hickabee/Palin I'll be very happy to see any of these combinations. Obama wins 2012 regardless.

Vhehn, there are very few times that I disagree with you and certainly not about the myth of God and the related cult figures, However, there are MANY gaps left in our knowledge. We are still infants in terms of 'knowledge'.

Ah yes...that science is getting toooo twicky. Let's turn to our shaman friends for advice. Maybe if we all pray hard enough to god, she'll give us a new atmosphere.

And are you following the money of the coal companies who profit from their dirty product? The auto companies who refuse to raise mileage standards due to 'costs'? The oil companies who, instead of adopting California's standards choose to maintain a hodgepodge of blends to justify higher...

What an ignorant statement. I guess we can rely on idiots that scoff at science while enjoying the fruits of their work to save us all. Idiot.

Very well said although the idea of Solar shades and shooting seawater into the air are pie-in-the-sky. Sadly, even the 'easy' stuff is difficult to implement due to obstructions by industry and conservatives. For example, equipping all coal-based smokestacks in the USA with scrubbers...

The Earth's atmosphere is about 300 miles (480 km) thick, but most of the atmosphere (about 80%) is within 10 miles (16 km) of the surface of the Earth.

Take an NBA regulation basketball and imagine it is the Earth. Put a 8x11 piece of paper on the basketball: that is our atmosphere. Very thin. We cannot continue to put CO2 and other GHG into the atmosphere while at the same time destroying the forests that 'eat' CO2. There is absolutely...

lol.

The majority of the very wealthy did not work harder: they INHERITED their wealth.

Union members are NOT liberals. They vote Democrat because ONE of the tenents of 'liberalism' is the right of workers to unionize and engage in collective bargining. Other than that, union members are as generally intolerant, racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic as any Republican or...

I seriously doubt that this single bill will result in the destruction of the US. If it does, then we are nothing but a paper tiger anyways. Why in the world would you 'dread', for decades no less, a development that removes the absolute single greatest threat to the safety and comfort in...

Ironic for you to call me 'ignorant'. While I can't say that ALL conservatives are stupid I can say that all stupid people are Conservative. On the other hand, I have NEVER met a liberal/progressive that wasn't better educated and had a higher IQ than the average person. It isn't that being...

I'm not going to get into any discussion about abortion in regards to an outlier situation that might occur in 1 out of 20,000 cases. The vote you are referring to was nothing more than another attempt to outlaw abortion and criminalize the procedure. As far as 'health care' you don't know...

I haven't seen anything 'far left' out of Obama yet. Everything he's done has been very middle-of-the road to the majority of Americans. There is nothing 'controversial' about Obama's votes on abortion to any person that supports the freedom of the individual to make THEIR own medical &...

Absolutely the economy is improving: YOU be sure to remember this conversation a couple years down the road. The economy waxes & wanes just as the price bars on your charts. The downturn wasn't caused by Bush and the upturn will not be due to actions by Obama except in a very general sort of...

Why; because I care about things other than MYSELF ?
