You're right Bear, I still have trouble focusing on your writing. Not that I don't want to, but we've talked about style and there's nothing to be done about that(from either side).

My point, what is my point. Hmmm.

Mr Gore is a fraud who will not stand up and debate in behalf of his sacred point of view. How's that?

All the data says that the advance of global warming has been at a virtual stand still since 1998.

Constant change is the norm for weather.

If mans behavior is all so critical in this and the global situation is Gore Dire, why hasn't air travel been brought to a halt. Why hasn't all sorts of stuff been ground to a halt. Why aren't you bathing down on the banks of your local crick. Why hasn't Oz invaded China to put a stop to their completing 3 or 4 coal fired power plants every week until they complete the 500 or so they have planned in the near term. Why why why?! So many why's neither you or Gore have an answer fer?

It reminds me of the OPEC oil embargo era of my youth when all the shop lights remained on at night and the kids with cars were still out running the roads all night long. This whole deal is only going to be dire for the usual suspects, although I expect the pool will be greatly expanded for those counted among the shitty end of the stickers.

I just cannot believe intelligent people can be so taken in by Gore's Shock & Awe hyperbole. Yeah people, the earth's atmosphere is heating up, or was through about 10 years ago, but has it dawned on anyone that stuff like the Sun getting hotter, or the Earth's present placement in its orbit around the Sun, or that perhaps as some measurements suggest our globe may be approaching a truly devastating geomagnetic event among so many other cosmic variables us puny humans don't even know how or why they operate at all. Like humanity is really ready to direct their own evolution, please!

Once again folks, the end result is about controlling humanity. What did PT Barnum say was born every minute?

And Bear, how many times do we have to go over this? Isn't it clear I support living in greater harmony with our little space ship here? And by the way, what have you denied yourself, or are you like Albert demonstrating by your day to day actions that that is for others to do?

Seriously man. Are you taking in the poor, or just driving by? Has your household cut back to sharing one tub of bath water per month/week/day? Have you given up restaurants? Do you walk to the grocery? Do you use paper or plastic? What the f*** are you doing that's so remarkably different from the vast majority of your peers? Or are you just doing what the government is telling you is acceptable? Even though my mind glazes over at your freeform, I'm very fond of you based on what I do gleen but how are you remarkable different in your actions from Mr Gore, apart from being poorer and thus unable to jet around everywhere as the global warming/give up YOUR prosperity cheerleader?

peaceably
