  1. Re:Science or Religion? on A Warming Planet Can Mean More Snow · · Score: 1

    We pretty much produce carbon dioxide with every thing we do, unlike SO2. You won't even be able to open a candy store without buying carbon credits to offset the furnace.

    But we have people who want to artificially sequester it, and that's OK with the environmental special interests. They also want to create a new carbon credit market to enrich the coffers of huge corporations and eliminate small business.

    It's a lot less than Fannie and Freddie got to continue throwing away on bad loans and giving bonuses to their executives for losing lots of taxpayer money last year.

    He's not as much of a jerk as the original poster who suggested that ignorance of ice resurfacing technology meant you must be from India.

    Maybe you think that the entire world (except India, of course) has year-round hockey, but we don't.

  6. Re:Where in the Constitution? on Feds Push For Warrantless Cell Phone Tracking · · Score: 1

    The problem is, 18 USC 922o violates the second amendment. "The people" are the people and "shall not be infringed" means just that.

  7. Re:Where in the Constitution? on Feds Push For Warrantless Cell Phone Tracking · · Score: 1

    Our own PRESIDENT lies about this. In a recent interview, he said the constitution was a list of "negative rights" that says what the federal government can't do, but doesn't say what they "can do on your behalf." It's exactly the opposite! The Constitution lists responsibilities of the federal government, such as minting currency, national defense, diplomacy, and collecting taxes. It also says that everything not listed is reserved for the states and the people.

    I'm with George Washington, a total nutcase who said, "Government is not reason, it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." I don't trust the supposedly inherent goodness of man when he is engaged in the corrupting power of government.

    Kind of a big IF... as in, IF they get the data without a warrant, it's unconstitutional.

    False dichotomy. Newton is nearly as well known for his religious writings. If he wasn't so devout, it would have been perfectly acceptable for him to avoid theology or, if the scholastic attitude of the time demanded it, submit a boring, trivial paper and be done with it.

    Paul was a religiously devout Jew before his conversion-- not an atheist. Therefore, already most likely spiritual.

    What crime? We're a notion of laws, not despotism of General Hatta who gets to decide what is legal and what is not. Legislating against asshattery leads to cruelty over all.
