HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

Actually that's true.  Mostly because of church offerings.

Church offerings shouldn't count.  I mean I am funding an organization I am a member of, it is more like voluntary dues than a donation.

Granted some of my money does end up doing charitable work but that is not the primary purpose, which is to support the church.

I ain't going to support cutting down our economy for the fear of global warming.

Cutting emissions does not necessarily involve cutting down our economy.  Natural Gas is a great short term solution and quite economical.  I think claims that taking steps make cleaner energy is going take down the economy is pure BS.  I mean granted it CAN if you do it idiotically, but I think we can manage.

Natural gas is not a short term solution.  It exacerbates the problem, which is that human activity relies too much on burning things.  What's BS is the idea that the problem can be fixed at this point.

Remember how shitty and unrealistic the end of Battlestar Galactica was?  Because that's the kind of solution that it would take to fix the problem within fifty generations.

Fifty generations?  So...about 2,000 years?  :lol:

I am not exactly sure what you mean by 'fixing' only that global warming is not going to be the end of history and we need to have long term solutions for our energy needs.

Won't do you much good if everyone's living in Canada.

Well, I figure Alaska would be too crowded with >300 million people. We need lebensraum.   :ph34r:

And what I'm saying is that those long-term solutions to our energy needs are likely to result in the end of history.

History already ended once, and it was barely noticeable.

You are going to have to get over the Peloponnesian War.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
