I know what you mean, these nut cases are everywhere.
They actually think the world is like billions of
years old, when we all know it's only 6000 years.

The actually believe the earth is round and spins,
and goes around the sun, and that the Earth is
not the center or the universe, can you believe that?

They think someday man will fly, that rockets
will work in a vacuum, that man will walk on
the moon, preposterous! The think that stars
are actually suns way way far away, and that
there are other worlds circling those suns,
and get this, that there are other beings
on those worlds, that is just ridiculous.

Neutrinos, I never heard of such a thing!

Carbon dioxide, what the hell is that?

We need to run these nuts out of
America for good, they're crazy!

Martin Brown:
The US is addicted to profligate waste of energy. Sooner or later you
will pay very dearly for this misguided policy.


Sooner or later!? With 1,500 American dead and over 10,000 wounded, an
unknown (to me) number of British dead and wounded, _The Lancet_
estimating that 100,000 Iraqis have died from Allied fire, arrest and
detention without charges, "extraordinary rendition," torture as an
American institution (while homosexuality remains an "abomination,") an
American national debt approaching $8 trillion, global warming*, and on
and on, I would say that much of the world is already paying dearly for
our misguided policies.

Much, but not all of the world. Halliburton has contracts with the U.S.
military valued at $21 billion, and Exxon again showed a record profit
in 2004. Since these results, and similar ones throughout the energy
industry, reflect the true purpose of American policy, it has to be
declared an unqualified success.

Therefore I cannot trust that the accords are real and altruistic.

An astonishing display of rationality.
