Will Al Gore now ask to stop space exploration and bring down space lab? [for Dana, Political]

Al Gore is getting all excited about global warming again.  But since the same effect may be happening on other planets of the solar system, will he also demand stopping space exploration?  See:

Have we spoken before?  How could you possibly know about my secret a-hole list?  My postings here have been limited to light bulbs and their sources.

Hi Brad,

Please can you tell me how the Amerikans for prosperity managed to attend the same event? Did they all walk ride bikes or take public transportation to get there? I would really like to know why you hate this man so intensely. I can tell you feel he is a hypocrite but I thought that was one of those values you southerners hold so dear. If you feel global warming is so much bs why don't you put your money where your mouth is and move to the gulf coast. Then when the oceans don't rise in 20 or so years you can laugh and say "I told you so".

Waiting patiently for the responding diatribe

John & Dana,

Gore has built a very lucrative business for himself selling "carbon
credits" (lucrative enough to fly around the globe in a Gulfstream).  Until
he got exposed, he lived in a huge Bell Meade mansion in Nashville with a
$20,000 a year utility bill.  He still lives there, except now he has solar
panels and some other gimmickry installed.  Gore and his minions serve a
purpose, as useful idiots often do, in that they encourage conservation (not
a bad thing).  The problem with their ideas is they want to take one of the
largest segments of the economy and place it under a centralized, government
run command-and-control system.  If you want to get serious about "carbon
footprints", tax the carbon and let the market sort out the alternatives.
Nukes would be the first winner.  Every time you slap a subsidy on
something, say 54 cents a gallon on ethanol, you skew the attractiveness in
the marketplace for less than optimal results - same with wind and solar.
Focus on the carbon if you believe in global warming.

Now as to living on the Gulf Coast, I bought our 1.7 acre Global Corporate
Headquarters (housed in a 20 foot shipping container) in Gulfport, MS 10
miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico and about 70 ft elevation. If you live
near coastal water and get hit by a hurricane, your house is taking a bath.
If you choose to do so anyway, don't blame me or expect me to help pay for
your loss when the inevitable happens. The biggest reason single-family
housing is so slow being rebuilt in Mississippi after Katrina is insurance
companies won't touch them with a ten-foot pole, or if they do, the rates
are four times or more higher than pre-Katrina.  For those of you who live
on the East Coast or Florida, expect to pay more. Now as to New Orleans,
much of it is 6-feet below sea level.  Helloooo! Did I mention that the area
that flooded is six-feet below sea level?  Do you need an engineering degree
to understand the implications of this?  Move inland folks!

There, any other problems you need solved today?

Brad

Brad,

I understand that you want to address these diatribes to somebody.  Please pick someone else.  I routinely delete both your and Ed's messages.  Other than scanning them quickly, I haven't read (or watched) any of them.  I haven't responded with any political content.  Please just go away.  I'm going sailing now on an awesome sailboat.

Fellow list members as straw man targets

Brad, Ed,

I joined this forum because I had a question regarding anchor lights and steaming lights.  After one or two posts, Ed compared me to Obama by calling me an elitest for preferring to spend time with my children rather than dropping my mast to replace a bulb.  I ignored it and went away for a while.  The other day, I had something to add regarding a source for light bulbs.  Within a few posts, I was labeled as having an a-hole hero in Obama.. 

I'm a registered Rebublican, yet you somehow determined (from my sailboat related light bulb posts) that Obama is my a-hole hero.  I asked you to stop, and you resorted to a personal attack saying that I have thin skin.

You apparently feel such a strong need to attack people and their views, that you are willing to project your own preconceived (and unfounded) typecasts on others so that you have a target.  Your credibility takes a huge hit as a result.

I know it is a lot to ask, but a little introspection may be in order.

-Dana

Dana,

If you delete Ed's and my posts then there shouldn't be a problem
should
there? For those who want some more info on global warming here's an
interesting read-

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=12403

Be sure and use lots of sunscreen on your sail today, Dana.  My guess is
that your skin is a bit thin.

Guy's lay-off, and say you are sorry(and be happy this is not costing you
flowers), she is not enjoying it...........They are not going to change the
world here but the still play as a full contact sport...........

-mjm

PS. "thin skin" was a pretty good "comeback" and a half way decent joke in
context; it was not a "personal attack" more along the lines of topping each
other.
