Whew. As long as he's not a Muslim kill-all-the-white-people terrorist. Can't let someone like that get a hold of the country you know. They have all the power by themselves and can be the end of us all...
Apparently America was not ready for Ron Paul either, someone you promoted so heavily with like every thread way back. I guess it's better to go ahead and slam Obama now. Carry on...
There's not much I can do about energy shortages - my car is very good on gas and I'm on a motorcycle most of the time, so not a conspicuous user (i.e. driving a 19-foot SUV solo to pick up a breakfast burrito).
I'm still on the fence with regard to climactic change. I read recently that the 1 degree celsius warming over the last ten years has essentially been wiped out by this year's cooling.
Another thing that has me skeptical on the subject is the media. There was a convention in Chicago recently on climactic change - over 400 scientists were on record for stating the man-made (or woman-made) impact on global warmning was negligible if at all. This position does not sell newspapers or stories on TV news magazines. It's safe to assume that scientists on both sides are smarter than myself.
Methane, per unit, is 20 times more impactful to climate change than CO2. Yet I do not see anyone trying to stop the cows from farting or the tundra from decomposing.
Again, I'm on the fence. True, rounding up all the scientists that agree is a consensus - but consensus is not science, it's politics. I'm just sayin'...
I think reacting the same way out of a sort of Pavlovian conditioning would be a hindrance. However, if past experience is used as a reference and a component of judgement, it is indeed useful.
There was a bad accident on the street out front last night - must have taken out some important electricals. I WISH it were one hour, ended up being more like twelve...
