Whom also, understands that our scientific knowledge is not only limited but also incomplete?

This reflects the true genius of the post-Reagan ultra-right wing GOP. It's been discussed in detail before by better writers than me, including Thomas Frank in What's The Matter With Kansas.

Two or three generations ago, that's the kind of muckraking front page you'd expect to see on working class rags like the Post. But ever since Reagan perfected the Southern Strategy of duping the "Red State" bible thumpers into supporting the GOP's corporate agenda -voting consistently against their own economic interests based on socially divisive "values" issues like abortion, school prayer, creationism, gay marriage et cetera, papers like the Post only attack "liberals" on "values" issues like that and give the corporate weasels who also happen to own the papers a free ride.

The hidden debate is Public vs Private on an informative socialist scale.

I've finally given up the CC-Times, hopefully my $8.00 a week won't take food out of Eric&K.C&Little 1s' mouths, but I really only liked the Comics and Crossword puzzle anyways.

"Corporate Pranksters"..." Blind Leading the Blind Says:
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:03 pm

It’s funny how human beings establish a technically advanced civilization in 3,000 years then suddenly they think everything can be explained away, and micro-managed into a neat little package of simple explanation.

The Major, Major Oil and Gas companies are pushing more money into ‘Global Warming’ science than private individuals. They are also investing immense sums of capital into the new ‘Carbon Derivitives’ markets emerging as a result of ‘Global Warming Legislation’ as the topic becomes everyones favorite norm and fearful driving force of change.

The simple truth is easily over looked by simple people. Human beings DO NOT INFLUENCE WEATHER. Carbon Dioxide exhaled by human beings, and all of the various fuels we use from livestock and food, to internal combustion engines and power-plants is ABSORBED FASTER THAN IT REACHES THE ENVIORNMENT. AFTER ALL WE ARE SYMBIOTIC WITH THE ENVIORNMENT. THE EARTH IS A GIANT WASHING MACHINE, CONSTANTLY CLEANING ITSELF."

Another thought..."So they’d rather keep the planet in a death grip, and whistle while it burns, than face the consequences of their own crimes.

Naturally it would be much easier to just pretend global warming isn’t happening, that we puny humans have very little effect on the planet. But that’s patently false and absurd. If the planet could clean itself so neatly, we wouldn’t have killer smog, mass deforestation, rapidly shrinking wildlife habitats, desertification, rapid ice cap melt or “Silent Springs”, to name just a short list of the wide-scale devastation of the environment.

If the planet could clean itself so easily it would have gotten rid of us by now. Which may be what will happen if we don’t wise up.

Open YOUR eyes, Blind– ordinary people are making huge sacrifices right now to bring you to see the truth– don’t spit on their service to humanity."

What are your thoughts? Some folks are into newspapers. I am into the environment.

These last two Comments seem to contradict each other. Is "Blind Leading The Blind" a CC2Day Commenter? These seem to be chunks of content from a different discussion forum altogether. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ibGHSvFxr9kgRVuSSMuSsk5CfQAwD9AL9GKO2 The fact is that the fabled Northeast Passage is now open and navigable for the first time in history.

Unfortunately the people who run the substandard times now are punks. They canceled the best forum on the cape. At least here there is a open and fair discussions.

Don't make me get all grammarnazi on you, nabstery... made some longtime enemies here doing that.
