However, based on the evidence presented in court, they found that there was reasonable doubt he was guilty, and thus let him walk.
That's their duty. It's not to decide if someone's probably guilty, it's to decide whether the prosecution proved their case. The reason for this is that it's a far greater injustice to convict an innocent person than to let a guilty one go free.
Thank you for your conscientious work. If I'm ever accused of a crime, I hope that the jury I face will take their responsibility as seriously as you did.
If you believe you have the moral high ground, then I'm sure you must enjoy it, just like the door-to-door proselytutes who come around my neighborhood from time to time.
If you want to believe that a question of climate science is utterly incontrovertible, that's your prerogative. I have no interest in talking anyone out of their religious beliefs.
You will never find any basis to the assertions on impressive skeptic websites.
Never?
Thanks for playing, but you fail. Your position is obviously an emotional one, and discussing this with you would be about as productive as trying to discuss evolution with Ben Stein.
The global cooling scare of the 70s was based on a few concerned scientific papers, and a lot of imaginative reporting.
The difference this time is that there's plenty of funding available for those who agree with the position that supports expansion of government power.
The "wonkette" crowd are a funny group themselves: a pack of larval politicians who think that the trivia they argue about in the congress makes any kind of difference.
When I was contracting at ATT Wireless in Paramus, New Jersey, there was one manager there who like to gather up a room full of about $5K/hour worth of consultants and just expound upon his management philosophy. We'd sit there not caring, since we were on the clock. At the same gig, there was a clown in the adjacent cubicle who listened to his voice mail on the speaker phone. Not to easy to write code with that going on.
The funniest thing about ATT though, was that I was required to attend a training session on planning my career at ATT (I was a contractor, my career was a one-month gig before I punted and went back to Wall Street for a gig with a smarter customer).
It's the good designers who take business rules and use cases and their knowledge of what works on the web and comes up with something to suit everyone.
Close.

One of the funniest things in life is watching believers get all bent out of shape when you laugh at them. Creationists, Scientologits, Vegan proselytizers, the Global Warming crowd, the 9/11 troofers, many kinds of new-age woo-woos, radical feminists, anti-feminists, and the list goes on and on.
At this scale, the transistor could very easily be destroyed by a cosmic ray. Interesting experiment, but I have a hard time believing that this development can find many practical applications.
I saw some video footage that Keith Henson shot of a Babbage machine at some museum in the UK. It's amazing, almost hypnotic to watch the parts moving in sinusoidal patterns.
. It's kind of funny now remembering how Boeing were crowing over the A380 problems,
I remember a lot of crowing over those delays, but not from Boeing themselves. I heard it from their fans, who seemed to have a major ego investment in the idea that a company from their country is superior to a foreign company.
Nowhere in the Canadian Constitution nor Charter of Rights you will find the "right to private property".
Governments don't grant rights, we institute governments to secure our rights. If the Canadian government fails to do so, then the Canadian people should overthrow it.

Thanks for providing such a clear example of the kind of person I referred to at the top of the thread.
Perhaps you don't want to prove your skepticism, because you suspect you can't.
Heh.. What's to prove? I'm a skeptic, and you're getting bent out of shape because I won't sign up for your orthodoxy.
The emperor has no cloths, as they say.
Exactly. Try to work it out in therapy, sunshine.

The intervention is entirely justified under the Investment Canada Act of 1985
It seems that you are unable to distinguish between legality and justification.
This intervention is a theft from the shareholders of the company in question.
