What happens when the prescription runs out.

What a silly rant.

I don't remember the last time I read the words "dastardaly scientist" in a non-fiction sentence.

It would be better if he could spell and didn't sound so much like a kook.

He is certainly right about many many "University PHD types" being cut off from the real world and desperately seeking recognition, grants, fellowships etc. He is probably right about the climate as well. It is clear from shrinking glacier evidence that our planet is warming. It is probable that humans are playing a role in this. It is also very probable that natural forces play a much greater role.

The planet Mars is experiencing similar global warming as the polar ice caps are now at the smallest size ever recorded in the last 100 years of observing. I don't think we can blame SUV's and diesel trucks, or even the Mars rover for this.

I am going to move this to the Lounge.

BTW-If Hollywood is so upset about GW, why are they still wastings TONS of carbon on making the crap movies they make.

You mean to tell me this tripe HAS to be made, GW be damned?

Just a thought.

Ditto there homes in Malibu, Aspen, and New York.

`I am glad that you are paying attention to your own rules( #4 ) But why does it have to be only when someone makes mention of the fact that the thread does not belong. If I talked drugs or street racing and no one else said anything could the thread continue?

I don’t imagine Bruce reads every post as soon as it is made. He gets to more than I could ever get to in his place, but probably not until after several other forum members have already read it and made the suggestion. I would guess it’s a matter of timing.

As has been pointed out, I have a life outside this forum and am not on it 24/7.

When I discover something or it is called to my attention, I try to act promptly.

Hence, the use of the word ONLY in your statement is not correct.
