Speaking of hillbillies....a friend of mine in Calif. (Calif. born and raisedso what can be expected), actually thought for years that I was a hillbillie because I am from Pennsylvania....of course, always being barefoot, with pigtails and in jeans could have put some of that idea in his silly head....I did give him a geography lesson, but to no avail....the original impression stuck

I find these just for you LAN....a lot of different areas of science experts are and have been corroborating on this problem for some time now

400-Plus Coastal Zones Are Dying: Carbon Isn't the Only Global Cycle Out of Whack
Article here.

The world is getting familiar with the carbon cycle and how pumping carbon that's been buried for millions of years into the atmosphere causes some global problems. Well, get ready to learn about nitrogen.

Envirokooks Want to Bury Trees

Environmentalists aren't just a menace to the economy and our liberties. Their hubris and hunger for control, as well as the wacky theories in which they fervently believe, make them a threat to the environment they so piously worship.

The bizarre notion that carbon has suddenly become environmentally toxic has led some enviropsychos to advocate cutting down live trees and burying them so that the deadly CO2 cannot escape the rotting wood and make it stop being so cold out:

One of the reasons CO2 is not a toxin but a highly necessary component of our atmosphere is that trees absorb it and then release the oxygen we breathe. If we buried enough trees, we really would have an environmental crisis.

Through the UN and the Democrat Party, these kooks may get the coercive leverage they need to inflict this sort of lunacy on our forests, on our dime, to forestall a global warming crisis that it is increasingly obvious does not exist.


We'd better cut these trees down and bury them before they start releasing carbon.

While I do believe global climate change exists, and that we are in a stage of warming (which I believe has peaked) I wasnt to make it clear that I do not believe it to be a crisis, nor do I believe that mankind can effectively alter this natural cycle .... not in the least.



Just want to be clear on what I believe to be the facts of the matterr.

WRT the DP, I would support the DP if only the guilty were sentenced to it.
Problem is, occasionally an innocent is sentenced to the DP.

For that reason alone, I cannot support it.

Well, there's a certain level of disgust and horror that I feel in cases where children are raped and murdered and treated like disposable garbage that just hits me in the craw of my gut. Where there is no doubt...DP it is...and the sooner the better!

Whether voluntary or not it gives this thread a welcome respite from his constant Moonbattery _

I couldn't agree more. The only issue I have with it is the aspect of reasonable doubt.

If there are witnesses and/or indisputable evidence, such as a clear video recording of the crime, then I'm all for frying the guilty.

But in some cases (Scott Peterson springs to mind) I think there's enough reasonable doubt that, even though I agree with the conviction, he should get life w/no parole.

None actually. 10,000 years ago was around the beginning of the end of the last ice age.
In the past million years, Ice Ages have occurred roughly every 100,000 years. Before that is was about every 41,000 years.
