    You mean like how the two major political parties have rigged the board so as to discourage political parties outside of the two majors?

    Fluffy did have a good point. If you participate in a criminal action - then you are potentially on the line for the whole kit and kaboodle. Running a red light is not even the same sport. I wont get a ticket if I am a passenger in the car that runs a red light, but I sure as shit would if I was driving my car and ran the light along with a long string of others. Now - should Rosol have to pay for the bug fix? Hell no - thats like having a criminal pay for a new type of lock because they picked the other one easily.

    Science is defined by facts - not majority "rule." Climate change is real...but who is to blame and what the "goldilocks" point is for the planet is not for us to determine - and we should stop being so arrogant as to thinking that we are the judge, jury, and executioner on this.

    I call bullshit.

    Sitting at my desk, I could tell if the phone was about to ring about 2 seconds before it actually did. Not because I am psychic, but because my computer speakers would buzz and drone...then the phone would ring.

    Well the intent goes beyond a university of cost of $0.5-M (the govt probably "misplaces" much more than that in a year), but its more about the claim that the fraudulent research could "cost" the country more than that if Mann's research was taken as gospel.

    Found the main article here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-ed-markey/just-in-time-for-hallowee_b_754228.html (I think I have to go wash myself as I feel soiled visiting that website) for the rantings of Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA).

    For those of you that dont know, Markey is on the "Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming." Researchers like Mann (as opposed to scientists who develop logical theories based on science) develop "supporting data" that gives more power to Markey's committee and justifies their existance. It is only logical that Markey would attemt to tar anyone who could be a threat to his committee's power and legitimacy. I love the soviet and witch-burning implications - very spooky. *eye roll*

    Now, is it a waste of money to stomp on Mann's research? For the AG to do it, I do agree that it is a waste - its like using a cannon to kill a fly. You wont see much in the more "conservative" media, because they are more focussed on where we are going...and why are we in this handbasket.
