    What? The IPCC was just collecting already published data, there was no 'new' studies done.

    Was that ever promised? As a Java developer, I really don't remember seeing "INSTANT STARTUP!" on JDK release notes/upcoming feature list.

    Hey, does Dart solve global warming? Cause that's something Google has yet to deliver in the last 5 years...

    That's easy: get the government out of the way. Then parents will send their kids to good schools and bad schools will go bust.

    Right. Because poor people or people living in bad school districts ALWAYS have the option of doing that.

    Really? Bullshit. Teachers care about the quality of students' education, which is why they're fighting the attempt to remove teachers and just send students to some online video.

    And why wouldn't the government feel it should regulate pollution?

    "That would be difficult in a country where the government feels it has the right to interfere with the market at any time in any way for any reason. You can hardly blame the free market for screwups in a country where the government feels it has the right to control mercury and arsenic."

    What the hell are you smoking?

    Teachers don't make anywhere near that, even when you adjust with their benefits:

    "In May 2009, preschool teachers in Wisconsin earned an average salary of $23,460, elementary school teachers earned $51,240, and secondary school teachers earned $49,400. (2) Education and experience level also make a difference in teacher salaries: secondary school teachers in the 90th wage percentile earned $69,550, while the entry-level teacher salary is generally in the $30,000s. (3)"
    http://www.teacher-world.com/teacher-salary/wisconsin.html

    That's not factoring in their retirement, which from an older WI gov site looked to be around 6-12% (hard to gather as the PDF wasn't talking about that).

    This $100,000 lie is crap thrown out by political opponents trying to make teachers be the next welfare queens. It's a lie.

    Yet another "if you don't subscribe to the current global warming facts you are an idiot"

    Well, yes, if they are facts, then 'not believing' in them makes you an idiot. You can still debate, but there are certain facts in the global warming debate that are not debatable.

    The article is talking about those who completely deny all facts. The fact you get offended and consider it 'the voice of the democratic party' means you're probably more in the ideology camp than you are in the science camp.
