I didn't have the opportunity to listen to Obama last night; my underwear drawer was in a state of disarray and needed tending to. sad

Anybody hear anything that would make them hopeful?

No, in fact it was very discouraging, I have never felt this hopeless about the nation, can't wait for the change in 2012, just hope we can survive until then!

The evidence is incontrovertible...

Nobel Laureate Resigns Over Global Warming Dogma
The word "incontrovertible" is not often used by true scientists.

The body of his resignation letter from the American Physical Society​ says, in full:

Thank you for your letter inquiring about my membership. I did not renew it because I can not live with the statement below:

“Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth's climate. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide as well as methane, nitrous oxide and other gases. They are emitted from fossil fuel combustion and a range of industrial and agricultural processes.

“The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth's physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.�

In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period.

Good to know there are still some rational thinkers around on the subject. Most have bought the BS, hook, line, and sinker!

Will the $ be replaced as the int. standard?

Rob Wiederrich said:

8O The US dollar my be going the way of the dodo. What does that mean to you?

Can you say hostile take over. It means the end of the nation as we know it. Follow the European model, our future looks like Greece and/or Spain. Either way, the fall of the dollar will push us into lower than third world status. Which is where the elites and the wealth theives want us for some insane reason.

Rob Wiederrich said:

You're kidding...right? Obumer asked nicely with a big please and the Iranian govt said, *HELL NO* So......

We just let them take our technology, reverse engineer it and that's all good with you..OBUMMER? Good Lord..we're screwed. 8O

I doubt a man who spends much of his time finding ways to reduce our national security gives a hoot about our technology or our security.

Did Ron Paul cut his own throat?

Posted By Doug Matulis

Rob Wiederrich said:

After listening to Ron Paul say he would let Iran alone to develop their own nuclear material for bombs and energy.. and then openly deny that Iran even has any material..shocked me and the entire audience at last nights debate. He honestly thinks Iran has no nuclear material and is not seeking to create a bomb to destroy Israel and us.

He's doomed with conservatives.

I didn't see the debate, but sounds like reality has now left Ron Pauls world.
