Jed,
I got a little tired of the constant bitching on the site... Many,
many words. I have more to do with my time and energy.
Then I suggest you stop reading my posts. Please do not complain
because I add lots of details, sources, and complete thoughts with
caveats. I am a programmer and tech writer and I dot every i and cross every t.
But understanding the CF "glass half full" approach (ie - many, but
not all, of the original experiments worked) doesn't mean that I
think people ought to buy into every "big oil/big coal" conspiracy
theory, and should therefore wear tinfoil hats.
NOBODY here has ever suggested there is a conspiracy! That's a
canard. As Bill Beaty put it: "Do racists 'conspire' to suppress
minorities? Do sexists 'conspire' to suppress woman employees? Of course not."
Big oil and coal are doing what any businesses will do. Big coal
kills 20,000 people, because they can. Any business that can get away
with murder and earn billions of dollars will kill people. Or they
will sell out the nation and enrich terrorists in the Middle East. It
is practically a law of nature. Tobacco companies, automakers, coal,
oil . . . the only way to stop them is to pass laws. Or if there are
laws on the books already, you have arrest and imprison the people responsible.
