Not to hijack a wonderfully entertaining thread, but in the interest of
public knowledge I am coming out.
I want all of you to know that
I am ProChoice....
When it comes to....
Incandescents vs CFLs
Personally, I think we should keep incandescents until the LED
technology is here. The mercury in the CFLs will all end up in
landfills. And all those bulbs are coming from China... where a new
coal powered generation plant comes online weekly.
Government edicts didn't invent automobiles, the phone, airplanes, or
most other major mass use equipment. With the exception of NASA,
precious little intelligent thought has ever come from government. They
simply are not good at it... The best minds end up in private enterprise
- the 2nd rate losers end up as elected officials... running our government.
So why don't we leave inventing to private enterprise and
universities. It is amazing how much good would come from this arena
if they were left to their own devices.
If our present government controls had existed 150 years ago, we'd all
still be on horses or in buggies. They'd be new and improved, but
they'd still be here.
Government is a necessary evil and a drag on society... We need as
little of it as is possible.
RE: Oceans Rising... Sounds like their might be a business opportunity
for water gear for all those who fear that "Waterworld" is on the way!
Maybe Bill should start a subsidiary. A turbo miata equivalent water
vehicle.
If one pauses and thinks it through a little, the oceans are the last
vestige of freedom left in the world. No one owns it, you can pretty
much do whatever you like out in the middle of it... and 71% of the
planet is still available to be exploited by man...
One last thing.... We really need to keep perspective here. No matter
how good or bad we make this place, life will cease to exist here in
about 500 million years. The planet has been here 4.5 billion years and
life has been here for 3.5 billion, so we are well over the hump and on
the downhill slide.
OK, I'm done... back to NMC MPC content!

I think it has been there for a long time. I think it was there long
before people started releasing harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.
There is evidence that it grows larger and then grows smaller at
times.
Not that long, as time goes... and it is indeed a threat.
