Ok, POINT: Political hacks should keep their hands OFF of scientists, who deal in facts, not poll numbers.

Somehow they are the only believable ones. Do you see > the bias there? Several prominent scientists have spoken out about interference from the administration that they felt compromised their work as legitimate scientists. I choose to believe them, because they are reputable and have no real cause for making up lies.

His main point is still valid, and you can't object to that reasonably. Global warming as government policy? Bad idea to mix politics with science. > They insisted on us joining Kyote and it's now falling apart. Global warming is a scientific topic. If the government chooses to accept or reject what science knows to be true, that is their own political decision. That being said, science and politics always fight and to paint this > as a Bush admin only issue is just wrong. I don't give a shit whether this administration invented the practice of stifling science in the name of politics....it's still wrong and it still sucks!!! What the hell kind of argument is this??? Someone else did it first, so it's OK? -- Then before, and now once more, I'm bouncin' round the room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:239691 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
