The MS river was normal last time I crossed it. And right before the low river, we had flooding. That's how the MS river behaves. Not too long ago the Great Lakes were too high, Bark Beetles are also caused by too thick stands--and is a natural progression for that forest type. Maybe those islanders shouldn't be pumping so much water out of their aquifer. This hype is all too typical of alarmists.
Had a shimmy. Waited until the tire finished wearing out. Replaced tire, got front end aligned. No shimmy now, no problems.
That's the problem with alarmists--every little "symptom" and "OMG, It's GLOBIL WARMIN!!". Throw in the politics, and I just tune you all out. When you can talk without all the exaggeration, and start saying "May" and "We believe" instead of "It's an established fact, and if you don't think so you're in the oil company's employ", I'll start listening again.
Excuse me, but can you give any evidence? I have not seen this in any news articles, including some out on the fringe. There are plenty of major news organizations that have no love for the US that would make such an instance front-page news. And with the current leadership in place, I can't see Govt Conspiracy (tm) being able to hide this either.
Let's assign some (obviously pulled-out-of-the-ether) numbers here:
unarmed rapist: Attack value 10
unarmed cheerleader: Attack value 1
Assume a gun gives a +100 value:
armed rapist: Value 110
armed cheerleader: Value 101
30-to-1 vs ~3-to-1. Still not great, but a heck of a lot better........
