Well, I don't think I would be a complete exception. I'm sure you would be able to guess which end of the AGW believer/disbeliever spectrum I'm closer to. The exception would be the nuances of my own beliefs on the details, and which arguments I think hold the most importance.
As far as how many think my way, yes, I also wish there were more. But there may be more then you think. They may just be avoiding the spotlight. (One can hope.)
Anyway, if you still want to test it, ask the questions. I'm not the only one who would be allowed to answer.
Let's test that theory. Ask be one question on each of those three topics. Make it a specific 'yes or no' question. I'll provide a 'yes' or 'no' answer, and then you analyze my position on climate change.
I'll let you know how close you are after you post your results. I promise I am being sincere, and will answer honestly.
It's a shame we can't hear about how the plan is working without 10,000 comments on what's wrong with the plan. There's a business saying that boils down to "it's better to execute a bad plan well,...
Isn't that what the banks did? Do you support how the banks executed their plan?
So, you have now shown you are an idiot. Twice over and more*. And have full justification for it in your mind.
Your actions now, opposing the very thing you supported, have no relevance. They know you are going to vote for Obama's successor, or at the least not vote for the main opposition. So you are a known entity, and can be safely ignored.
*You think President Obama isn't being an autocrat? What do you call someone who tells Congress that he will make laws as he sees fit since they won't make the laws he wants?
As a veteran, I say, yes it was worth it. I signed up freely to do whatever job my country demanded of me. Thankfully for me, that did not include dying. But anyone who joins the military without realizing it could cause their death is a fool.
I also love the double standard in this argument. The US government is so morally wrong with the Iraq war, but the people who willingly join the US government's armed forces are saints and heroes who were cruelly used against their wishes. How do you logically explain that?
That's OK. I was brought up on that music, and his Greatest Hits album was one of the first that I put on my phone from my CD collection. So when someone mentions a 'solid gold violin', that song is just going to pop up in my head.
I always say that when I knee-kick some old guy with green teeth. Gives me just enough time to get out to my car. Then I go out driving in Wooley Swamp, where you better not go at night.
The Greenland colonies did rear cattle in a place that supported it for hundreds of years. Then the place stopped supporting it because the climate changed as we went into the Little Ice Age. Many places in Europe had the same experience, as upper pastures were abandoned for the same reason.
Ironically, considering the Vikings were a sea-faring people, they didn't like to eat the animals in the sea. Having cows was a great status symbol, but having to eat seals or other sealife besides fish was the opposite. So the colonies finally failed, as you say, because they didn't want to live like the locals.
But their initial success wasn't amazing, it was quite ordinary.
As the OP here, can you show me where I said I wanted to go to Mars for a few days and then die?
Obviously if we can send a manned mission to Mars, which will require months in space for the voyage itself, we have the power to send enough food and air for months of Martian exploration as well. There could even be a second ship leaving a couple months later with another year's worth of food and air. But I wouldn't expect a continuous stream of supply ships for years.
I'd still go, because in the words of geekoid, "I really think people who say [no] cannot understand the their is a world outside their arm reach."

Well, we should really wait till he gets out of office to start talking about recovering from it...
--AC, so I am not hounded till my company is forced to fire me
Non-AC, because it's worth it.
Exactly. I just modded it up three times.

*You think President Obama isn't being an autocrat? What do you call someone who tells Congress that he will make laws as he sees fit since they won't make the laws he wants?
You'd rather have someone from Obama's team join them? Or maybe Hillary herself?

I see that now. I guess I was remembering some not-scientifically-valid crime show from a while ago. Or maybe not remembering it correctly. Se la vie.
Anyway, thanks for not going all chem-professor on me. :^)
other stuff burns by combining rapidly with oxygen.
Including oxygen.
Okay, while not a jetpack, this thing could send you 100 miles at Mach 7. Obviously, sticking the landing might be rough.
That's ok. No one at the landing site will be alive to judge you.
Yes. Just look for the Bitcoin symbol at the cash register.

Remember: Price and rarity are another set of entities altogether. A solid gold violin couldn't be played,
You've never been down to Georgia, I take it.
but would be worth a ludicrous amount of money.
I'd bet it against your soul, because I think I'm better than you.
I said that we never had anyone get hit by one. Of course someone somewhere would get hit by one.
By the way, more kids got hurt or killed while riding bikes. Why aren't those things banned?
After that, you erased all traces of your invasion, and left his computer alone?
" if you'd hit the same person in the head with a lawn dart ..."
We had Jarts when I was a kid. Never had anyone get hit by one. Now they're banned. Sad.
By the way, I like your sig. :^)
Obviously, yours wasn't the Linux developer community he was specifically referring to.
Damn. I'm fresh out of mod points. :^)
Many of them were easily avoidable, but the government (that being NASA) just didn't care at the time.

The "middle of the ocean" would not be at the surface.
Just sayin.
