You spoke truth, that hurts the feelings of the group thinkers. That group that intends to repeat histories failures is very self sensitive and reacts, well, poorly. Let me beat them to it: Citation Needed!
Political heavyweight Jim McDermott acquired an illegally recorded phone call and released it for political gain. Privacy issues, you would think.... Jail time? Not even. Check out this statement: "Full D.C. Circuit Rules McDermott Had No First Amendment Right to Leak Phone Tape Due to Ethics Committee Rules". Really? It is only an 'ethics committee' rule violation. http://blog.lib.umn.edu/cla/discoveries/2009/10/full_dc_circuit_rules_mcdermot.html
I am just as surprised as you, they have an ethics committee?
You wonder why the aliens looked human and spoke English? Come on, think of the process: You go to the casting call, read for the part..... How many ugly non English speakers would make it past that? As for the sex, well, some aliens will do anything to get on stage.
Yes, I capitalized Shell to show I was using the proper name rather then the shell used in a game. I did not intend to vilify the company. Just as you realized 'Shell' is not the same as 'shell' and as you pointed out buggy whips and oil are not the really the same kind of thing, I was trying to point out that 'Peak oil' is not the same as no oil. In the US it really looks like the major obstructions are lawyers and government, not dollars and (common) sense.
We also passed 'Peak Buggy Whip' production some time ago. Although you are correct in the common use of 'Peak Oil', I find the common use is misleading as c6gunner pointed out by by his statement about the US also reaching peak-nuclear a few decades ago. -- Countries intentionally limit production (OPEC much?) to manipulate prices. When it is known that 'Peak Oil' refers specifically to production but it is used to say 'the end is nigh, the US is evil' then it looks like, well, a Shell game.
So it's reasonable to criticize medical studies AND they realize that peer-review is, well, not so good AND they point out that erroneous conclusions persist.... Good thing AGW has avoided all that.
How much taxable income do you think either of the Gates has coming in???? Is it the dollar a year for being on board A or board X that is going to put them into the income taxable group? --- If they were interested in paying their 'fair share' why did they create proxies in other states and other countries that don't impose these taxes? Why have they have gone to such extreme efforts to be reimbursed in non taxable ways?
Rather then malign Eyman you could take a look at what it costs to license a vehicle in the state of washington this year: $40 for my trailer. $95 for the motorcycle. $120 for the car. ---- All of those would be at least double if I was inside the seattle city limits. Our kind hearted lawmakers promptly added "fees" to make up for the voter approved tax limit. Just as they have walked all over the voters will for years. I know using facts is a little rough.
Please, Please. Please read about Henry Ford. He did not invent the assembly line. He did figure out that by paying a bit more and helping with education and health he ended up with a lower turnover which helped his bottom line. Of course that made more profit for him too so no doubt that makes him evil in your eyes. TANSTAAFL

Amazing how people will justify whatever they want.
Are you suggesting using Dihydrogen Monoxide Planck?
Cruel boy.

Not going to ask, I have to call my ex while I am still laughing.
And feeling vaguely vindicated.

Surprised and worried.

I would like to introduce our pilot today, Wonder Woman.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
We don't got no steenkin' journilists!
Well, not in many years.
For far too long those claiming or paid to be "journalist's" or "new's" people have been indistinguishable from commentators or zealots.,
Ford had the advantage of not having an MBA from a modern university...
I was told what MBA really stands for:
Mediocre But Arrogant.
