Well I was referring to temperature recording, but even in the broad general sense global temperatures have never been higher even since the first caveman scrawled a picture of a moose on a cave wall. (Is 12,000 years ago considered "recorded history?" I don't think so.)

You'll have to remind me what we're talking about, as your comment seems to make no sense in this context.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but if you'd like to discuss tariffs versus income taxes that's fine. It's my opinion that a reasonable tariff level is not harmful to an economy, and in fact I would argue that granting China most favored nation status (or whatever it was) and thus...

I'm not sure who was recording temperature data during the Holocene period, but let's call him "Ugh." Anyway, your graph is out of date and incorrect. It is now known that conditions at this time were probably warmer than today, but only in summer and only in the extratropics of the Northern...

Nope, they haven't. Global average temperatures have never been higher in recorded history.

Because to increase federal income taxes from 0% net to 17% for families of four with $50,000 worth of income is simply unworkable. So guess what will happen? That's right, the Republicans will just bill it to our kids. Great -- it's good to find common ground -- now how do you feel about...

This is clearly true. I only work with systems that change on a daily basis. I fear change, and fire. I'm not sure how you read that into my posts when clearly my posts were communicating that I think it is a good idea to allow bears to marry.

Nobody is "scared shitless" except of paying more and having yet higher deficits, and your ad-homs are unnecessary (and quite dull). If you're going to try and insult me, try something about my mother. She's quite the whore, so I'm told. Also according to others, apparently I like to have sex...

Alright, that's not exactly a flat tax, but let's run with that. It still means that your taxes will massively increase. What do you pay now? Let's run through the numbers, and let's assume that break even is 17% + capital gains as income + sales taxes + property taxes. In 1994: "The...

Will you be reverting to wagons to deliver this suggestion on paper to them?

There is no flat tax that has been proposed that even comes close to being revenue neutral. It doesn't exist. There isn't anything. Without capital gains your taxes would have to shoot through the roof. Do you want a tax increase to approximately 25% + state taxes + sales taxes? Here...

Not everybody gets his name contributed to the English language! He's truly made his mark! (And with some scrubbing it can be removed.)

I think it's a reasonable area of study given that HIV, semen and santorum fluid remains in genital folds. (I can't believe I got to use "santorum" in a sentence accurately! This is both great and hilarious!)

The High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991 ring a bell? It created NREN. DARPA created the ARPANET. NIST helped as well. All government, all the time. You're soaking in it.

I've never said I'm okay with it, just that there's no reason whatsoever to think that HIV prevention programs would be unconstitutional.

I do not want to see your vacation photos.

Alright, then perhaps using precedent you can explain how the Federal Government doesn't have the authority to spend the tax money it collects.

Well, in fairness to UCLA, they did offer education to women for washing their penises as well, but the women pointed out that they didn't have them.

Universities like UCLA which is the university actually doing the research? And why couldn't penis washing be one of many factors that could reduce HIV retransmission?

You're making a fair point, I expanded the point too far. Please allow me to rephrase: the briefs that you have not yet written for the Supreme Court would not be read, you state, because they (the Supreme Court) are not defending the constitution. I hope that's clearer. But...
