New Evidence About 'The Great Dying' 250 Million Years Ago
PornMaster writes "The Guardian is reporting that scientists have found the first direct evidence that the killoff of 80% of land species and 95% of marine species 2 billion years ago was due to a meteor." The project web site has more info, maps, etc.
Whether or not the findings have any validity, their website designer is certainly not doing them any favors. Not with those bold, sensationalistic headlines and dramatic picture. It looks like something out of a tabloid rather than a serious, scientific report.
That doesn't even make sense anyway.
STFU, n00b.
God, more sleep, less talk.
Good come back. Did your mom help you with that one?
It did not claim, as your summary implies heavily, that the funding was earmarked for the 9/11 attacks, but just for Al-Queda's operations in general (which is still a problem, granted, but you are being deliberately deceptive with that summarization.)
The court found that Iraq was liable to VICTIMS OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS, to the tune of $104 million dollars.
The distinction you are attempting to make doesn't exist as a matter of law in this case, and is a pathetic attempt to cling to the liberal mantra that there was no Iraq/Al-Qaeda connection. The fact is that there has been found to be one by a US federal court, and upheld by the circuit appeals court. No amount of sophistry is going to make this go away.
Having a population of people better educated in science is just as important, and Bush is not going to make that happen.
Continuing the failed policies of forty years of liberal control of the education system certainly isn't going to do it.
