Ignorance can't be deep seated, only deeply held on to. Any monkey can make good decisions when all the facts are known, the real question is how do you make decisions in absence of perfect knowledge? This brings us back to Robert's huckster: they make money on fear, but that fear is based on ignorance. Remove the ignorance and you remove the fear which disarms the huckster. The same works in reverse: many times people won't act despite a risk that is plainly apparent: how many times have you been fixing something knowing you were doing it stupid and ended up falling, cutting/burning yourself, etc? In this case we know there is climate change. That's not disputed. What is disputed is how we choose to gather more data. Sam is content to follow, while I'm proposing we lead; I don't like standing on a waving bridge no matter how safe the scientists tell me it is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245202 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
