That seems optimistic. I have difficulty imagining your tenure would last even an hour- unless perhaps it were a tiny schoolroom in the deep south, where the children come from families which cling fast to the notion that Lincoln duped "their" country.

The red skin has done well, in spite of what little resources the white man left him with. They have a remarkable farsighted government and belief system which is far superior to the white mans. They do not take more than can be sustained, they share alike and because of the casino revenues...

And that someone always has to complain, don't they? It was the Native Americans making the first payment phase, then it was the blacks in phase two. After those two hefty deposits, Phase 3 went to the Chinese and Mexicans before the Irish started chipping in their share. By the time Phase 4...

Many of the Nazi's expressed similar internal struggles- some of which were never fully resolved- even upon their death beds. There seems to be a conditioning of the mind which says "I must be loyal to my party to the end, no matter how much destruction I have witnessed, no matter how much...

While there is always the bat shit crazy cult leaders and followers here and there and everywhere dotted throughout the world, I have serious doubts as to whether the majority of so called religious folk would share those thoughts you have expressed. However, I agree that there are at least...

Wouldn't this be like saying "all gay people are looking forward to painful butt sex",? It's tempting, but I'm afraid such a conversation will only be petty and nonsense at best.

Sure Pie, I understand there are many problems that come with religion- just as their are in any sectors of society. Perhaps if you were to articulate the problem(s) in more detail, I could help with the allocation of its solution, regarding its priority.

I'll make sure to not program any AI's to "make as many paper-clips as possible" because now I fully realize that these AI's will stop at nothing to destroy any and all lifeforms which could possibly someday inhibit their paper-clip production. Thank you, DBP, for such invaluable insight- it...

My apologies for mistakenly referring to us as alarmists, when the more proper term would likely be activists. It was likely the alarming rate at which GW and ME are having affect on our planet that prompted me to ignore the popular republican definition of the term. It would seem that an...

I asked myself the same question, OHMs, and after seeing a picture of Brown, it became apparent. It seems pretty obvious the cop was shitting his pants scared, and Who can really blame him for that? Sure Brown was only, what, 18? It's natural for his parents and others to still see him as a...

While this may be true, stopping GW may not necessarily stop, or even slow down ME- in fact quite the opposite can occur. For instance, if the solution to GW is to change from gasoline cars and coal burning plants to Hydrogen powered cars and solar energy, then how does this do anything to stop...

Sorry, FC, but that's not very conclusive. Many plants and animals throughout North America and other great regions will benefit from substantially raised temperatures- archaeology has shown us that in the distant past, life prevailed in much higher temperatures without the need for even...

Military personnel needn't even be used to execute the perpetrator of the covenant- it could easily be taken care of by drone forces, thereby washing the hands of man clean from the matter.

No- I want to widen the borders, so to speak. You know the little circles on the globe that protect certain areas of the ocean; widen those fuckers way out! And those tiny circles that surround protected rain-forests- widen those too while your're at it. And many more circles too. If you try...

As a follow up, I would mention that upon first reading Money's post, I might have easily mistaken it as one of your own posts- if not for the part where Money mentions his skin color. That's not to take away from Money's post at all, as I thought it was a very good post indeed. But I must...

I was speaking relatively, of course. If humans die out due to, what, suffocation due to carbon monoxide? Then won't some other life form benefit from the raised levels? I have no doubts we're screwing up the ecosystem by raising the greenhouse gases to such degrees, but can you really say...

To put in another way- The growth of the world's current economy is like the growth of a tumor in the ass of an economist. Please pardon my vulgarities ladies. I sometimes get a little charged after drinking a monster beverage and thinking about the death of our race. I mean no ill humor to...

I think they called what you are referring to as a "Tax Break", Pie. It's a long shot, but I just thought providing the correct past nomenclature may allow the connection to be made.

+1 Agreed. There are far too many pay checks in the balance for humanity to ever do the right thing. It's best to not worry about such things, but keep the just voice of reason alive and well, for our future generations. Thanks for remembering and reminding others to speak up. I've shared...

Fuck Global Warming and to Hell with the Economy- We've got Bigger Fish to Fry! The jury is out on Global Warming; while the changes may be man induced it is not yet clear whether or not the changes will be long-term beneficial or damaging to the inhabitants of the earth. The economy, despite...
