Call Christmas by its name

Wow quite scary C Lee! Sorry but by equating your politics with religion you just put yourself in the company of bin laden, iranian clerics, and all the other islamic sharia law promoters who equate religion with government desiring a one world caliphate! Same thing. US ordained by god? Was that in the bible? Came to you in a dream? Dangerous. Or is it funny? That would mean God put Obama and the Dimmycrats in office and if you ever say anything bad about them again the lightning will strike you down! LOL Organized political religionism is the equivalent to totalitarianism, fanaticism, and tyranny. I'll stick to the self evident truth and beauty of free thinking and liberty.  (1 hr ago | post #212)

Jesus Christ wrote: We should definitely bring prayer bak inyo schools. I want my children being able to pray to Allah after the Pledge of Alligence. Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Can't all of you just picture our children being expsode to Islam, hek maybe a few of them may get converted, Allah AkbarI think this is why you dont want to mix religion and school.

Grenhouse gas ruling an end run around Congress

Would that then make a difference? Have you personally studied the ice core studies? Do you even know what a gas chromatograph mass spectrograph is? Is that science faked somehow? Please let us knowOK good, you admit then that Al Gore does not matter. I trust you wont bring him up again. You have not studied the ice core experiments in any way, you don't really know what a GC-MS is, and somehow, you believe the science "could be" faked. So in other words, you have no idea what your talking about! Your honesty is appreciated.  (Yesterday | post #15)

Governor's task force floats tax options in Farmington

I thought a felony was a serious crime like rape, arson, and murder? I would agree that drug crime (victimless crime) should not be a felony. If you do as well, vote for Gary Johnson in 2012.  (Yesterday | post #52)

Please, dont bust a gasket! That site is from the University of Illinois and a quick glance looks like they do animations. Your link missed the minima which they say occurs in September. On their site is this series of pictures (animations?) http://arctic.atmo s.uiuc.edu/cryosph ere/MINIMA/ice.min ima.paper.1.jpg Which shows a general decrease in ice. Also on their site they have a similar graph that nasa has showing a general decreasing trend of sea ice minima http://arctic.atmo s.uiuc.edu/cryosph ere/ice.area.at.mi nimum.new.png From the University of Colorado National Snow and Ice Data Center November ice extent also showing decreasing ice http://nsidc.org/i mages/arcticseaice news/20091207_Figu re3.png Sorry, it kind of looks like things are heating up.  (Tuesday | post #317)

I would hope that a felony conviction would include of a loss of those rights.  (Tuesday | post #48)

Expert: We must act fast on warming

Good point! What would the motivation for conspiracy be? How would scientists benefit monetarily from a one world government? A one world government would probably pull funding from the variety of institutions and establish a single institution. Bad for funding. Probably bad to have a single institution doing science, no checks and balances. Grant funds? Climate deserves study no matter whats going on, up or down. Right now it is a hot topic, until the next thing comes along. Super conductors used to be real hot. Carbon nanotubes still pretty hot. Cancer, always hot. Most scientists are not one topic people, they work on a variety of things and can shift to where the funding is. Climate scientists will profit from their investments in green companies? Most green patents and start ups are materials related which climate guys probably have minimal invovlement with. Otherwise, a climate guy could invest in any company they want. Why would they really care? The whole conspriacy thing is silly.  (Tuesday | post #9302)

So far, a lot of complaints about spending too much, and I would agree. How about we start a list of specifics that we would get rid of? I'm wondering, what specific services, jobs, and salaries, that should go away. Maybe if enough repeated complaining is done on specifics, those might get fixed?  (Monday Dec 14 | post #45)

Were not the town halls held while congress was in recess? Right now they are (supposedly) working in Washington. Or does Tina want congressmen flying back and forth just to hear the same old krp from both sides? I think we have plenty of government help right now, way more than in the 30s, we probably have too much. I think they need to keep things simple and (mainly) steady. I wish congress would grow a pair and just install a Swiss style health care system and get it over with. Maybe phase in a simple gradual increasing non renewable energy tax. I think the government complexities, and uncertainty about whats coming down the road is killing business.  (Sunday Dec 13 | post #9255)

Desert Rock denied $450 million in stimulus funds

Competition is good right? But actually, I like the grid. I envision it as a way to provide backup power, baseload power, and distribute solar power across large distances. There are hundreds of square miles of roofs, already connected to the grid, that could be used to significantly power the country. I wouldn't expect a company to provide that service for free however.  (Sunday Dec 13 | post #41)
