    I guess I need to repeat myself

    The only fact on can come to in this climate change controversy is that the science is still out. Both sides say they have the top scientists that agree with them. Both sides have enough money to throw at studies to "prove" whatever they want "proven". What I believe is we shouldn't start making drastic changes and legislation due to the scaremongering from one side that says the earth is going to flood if we don't make drastic changes to our lives, how we travel, and how we manufacture goods. Everyone just needs to chill out and wait for some actual conclusive results. Remember the global cooling scares in the 70's? The solutions offered then are the same solutions being offered now.

    Not trying to insult here (I'm no programmer), but since you say you've been doing what you are doing for just a few months, I am guessing the attack is a more advanced than what your prepared statements are going to block, since a major site like travelocity is being hit, and Kaspersky is not yet able to find a solution.

    For nearly 30 years, Professor Christy has been in charge of NASA's eight weather satellites that take more than 300,000 temperature readings daily around the globe. In a paper co-written with Dr. Douglass, he concludes that while manmade emissions may be having a slight impact, "variations in global temperatures since 1978 ... cannot be attributed to carbon dioxide." http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2008/10/20/lorne-gunter-thirty-years-of-warmer-temperatures-go-poof.aspx

    I really don't get why people are so reluctant to consider that burning 80 million barrels of oil each day does not affect the climate.

    Because volcanoes put more carbon into the air that humans will in our entire existence on this earth.

    it is much more satisfying to slam someone onto an asphalt parking lot than a tile floor.

    I would have loved to be slammed to the asphalt by a security guard at 14 for stealing a bag of chip or a pack of smokes. I would then own his paycheck for the rest of his natural life.

    Wow good link. I find this surprising in that I was always told that once you are in the parking lot, the security for the store wont do anything and call the police on you. The security weren't even allowed to leave the building in case of a grab 'n dash. I know a couple people who shoplifted frequently a few years ago and walmarts and targets, they were never caught, but they were also under the impression that security wont leave the building to snatch up a shoplifter.

    Circuit City was, to me at least, was always just a Best Buy knockoff. I might be crazy, but it was always so dark in their stores. Maybe that was to enhance the rest of the lighting. Or I am actually insane.

    No, what I am saying is that before, they would cover a story with some substance, on issues of ideology or judgement, and some would take it at face value, and some would do their own research. Now with the types of stories they are running, about clothes and dogs and such, that have very little substance or meaning, and if you did do your own research and investigation, where does it get you?

    It's not the government's job to please its people, its job is to provide for the common defense and promote economic growth and activity by protecting freedoms. Anything else that has been done outside of that has been done by career politicians to keep themselves in office via securing a voting block through handouts. Anytime you take from one (person or group) and give to another (also person or groups) you are limiting freedoms, the first to their property, and the second to their responsibility to be able to provide for themselves.
