    Do not blame an ideology for the people who believes in it. Okay, fine. Why does (innocent for sake of argument) Marxism attract the most stupid and violent people? Actually it doesn't. It often attracts rather intelligent pessimists from intellectual groups and academia. These people seem to be the easiest for stupid and violent people to control. Sort of the grown up version of the bully jock getting the nerd to do his homework. The pen is not always mightier than the sword.

    either way it wouldn't be bad for google to have a monopoly. The bad thing is if google decideds to use their extreamley popular search engine to shut down competitors in other services. If google started a car company and shut down searches for all ford toyota chevy etc that would be considered an abuse of a monopoly or even a near monopoly.

    Not global warming. That was hemispherical warming. Also sometimes referred to as summer.

    Again someone who doesn't understand the scientific method. Proven is not a scientific term it is a legal term. It is used as a form of hyperbole in science to refer to a "well tested theory." Although just as you brought up Einstein's theory of general relativity that has not been "proven" by any means. In fact at a molecular level it breaks down completely and is very dis proven. Just because it hasn't been "proven" doesn't make it any less useful though. Just as Einstein's theory is able to be used to predict how large objects will interact, a "theory of global warming" will help in determining how we should react to it.

    Now, repeat after me, "There is no such thing as 'proven' in science. Only Well tested and accepted."

    1) Time magazine had a great article a year or four ago about the French desiring to be a leader of "The Coalition of the Unwilling" - ie, being the leader of a group of nations who oppose everything the US does.
    2) With Iraq, specifically, as much as the US's action was said to be motivated by oil/money, France's opposition was doubly-motivated by oil/money.
    3) The French's willingness to sell damn near anyone damn near anything: including nuclear reactors to both Iraq and North Korea.

    I think your post points it out exactly. By annoying people as much as they can it gets people to ask "Why the heck are they doing this." and as you point out the naked, military force and beer.
