Think about it...when did temperatures start to rise...right about the time that countries, all around the world, started to implement daylight savings!
You introduce an extra hour of sunlight...every day...for a third and sometimes half the year...and wonder why it starts to get hotter!!! Crazy. It's just common sense!!
Stop daylight savings and you'll have an hour less of sunlight during the day...it's bound to cool back down then.
I have told my theory to many leading atmospheric scientists but they, or rather the officer issueing the restraining order, were unwilling to enter into debate about the subject. I think there may be a massive coverup underway by the leisure craft industry.

It is hypothesized that certain neanderthal societies used to write inscriptions on large rocks before hurling them ferociously at passers by.
Coincidently enough, this has significant commonalities with one of todays more successful spam counter measures, which involves incribing "stop sending me spam" on similarly large rocks and hurling them ferociously at spammers.
BRAVO....BRA-F-ING-O....It is so bloody refreshing to meet someone that stands for his beliefs on his own grounds rather than trying to justify them using a social norm. Man, if we had more people like you the world would be a whole bunch less messed up.
What a damn refreshing view, an honest defence of something you enjoy...I may not agree with you what you do, but thank you for not insulting my intelligence by trying to tell me it's for the good of the deer/fox/whatever to cop a bullet in the head, or that you do it because it's ooooo so tasty.
I wasn't speaking for all of you...in fact, the whole "I've often wondered", would indicate that I was speaking just for me...hence the "I've" bit. But perhaps that is too ambiguous.
I've often wondered why hunters don't just use a camera with a telephoto lense (the same zoom as the scope would be) with cross hairs pained on the lense...that way you can stalk and hunt all you want and nothing has to die. If you were clever enough, you could even mount a small digital camera on a rifle that shot blanks...when the blank produced the kick, the digital camera would take the picture you could show to your buddies and say "look, I got him"...and everything lives:)
I don't know about that, the line between criminal and civil seems to be blurring rather fast all around the globe these days, I don't know what the shelf life of your post will be, but I would judge it small:)
don't forget....you gradually change the entire software industry to a service based model and laugh as you watch every small development company compete with IBM global services. ang you do it all using code that people developed for you for free...brilliant really.

Gough Whitlam was in government from 72 to 75...I was born in 74, so I don't know whether that makes me old or not (or whether it just makes you young;) ). The baby boomer generation is defined from 1946 to 1964. University fees were abolished Jan 1, 1974. So, just for clarity, my parents didn't have the option of free university, and I'm guessing, unless you're less than 12 years old, neither did yours.
In regards to having to pay for university currently, my comment above is exactly used as a reason why we shouldn't have to pay for university. The government would argue that education is a service to be payed for. Others (including the baby boomer generation) would argue that it's our right...it's our right borne from the sacrifices of the previous generation (i.e. my parents sacrificed to make this country better so I would have the right to health care, the right to an education etc...the argument goes, that to make people now pay for that, it to ignore the percieved social contract of the previous generation).
In regards to debt, I take it you're talking about our $AU2.2 billion trade deficit? The trade deficit is the dollar difference between monthly exports to other countries and imports. Now, to blame that on the previous generation when it's measured on a monthly basis is a little short sighted...even to call it 'debt' would be incorrect. There are a massive number of factors that go into play in working out the economic status of a country, and it's quite normal for a country of our size, who has many trading partners as we do, to have a trade deficit. It is interesting however to note that under a keating government, we had a trade surplus...so the transition from surplus to debt has occured in the last 9 years of liberal power...so don't blame the baby boomers for john howards mistakes.
In regards to the baby boomers being the most selfish generation ever...well, I could spend the morning researching standards of living and average weekly earnings figures from 46-64, however I think a quick generalization will do the job.
How many 17 year olds have cars today...how many 17 year olds had cars in 1946? How many 23 year olds have travelled overseas? How many 23 years olds in the baby boomers generation had travelled over seas (vietnam doesn't count)? How many 30 year olds in australia currently own their own home (or are paying it off)? How many 30 year olds in 46-64 owned their own homes?
I think you get my point. Cut them some slack, the vast majority of the previous generation sacrificed greatly for us. Don't blame them for the acts of one very right winged government. It was howard that killed the right to education, not the baby boomers...they fought hard in many rallies to give you that right, and one man took it away. Ask any baby boomer whether they want the right to free education brought back and I think you'd find they would whole heartedly support the idea.
And one final point on "this sounds like a case for increasing immigration". Ever heard of "Populate or perish"? It was the slogan of the australian government after the second world war. We increased immigration and brought in over 2 million european immigrants in the space of just a few years. We also increased family offspring output by pushing it as every australians duty to have a big family with the slogan "Australians, populate or perish". It was a very big thing, and while, in the short term it was wonderful for australia, and made us the power we are today. Now we have a large amount of older people (baby boomers) that need to be supported (because of exactly what you recommend). So, on one hand you're suggesting exactly what put us in the situation (I don't believe it's a problem, so I won't call it that), but you're unwilling to lend a hand to support the previous generation who exists as a result of your suggestion?!?! That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
