in Chief NASA Climate Scientist Now a Man-Made Global Warming Skeptic on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
I've always been open to the fact that global warming was largely a natural phenomenon. However, I'm afraid that this is the kind of info that will halt environmental advancements which still needs to be pushed ahead at full steam.

Maxolasersquad I agree, even if global warming is not man made, we still need to make the proper environmental changes anyways. Our actions are not just causing the heating of our planet, but mass extinction, the poisoning of our waterways, acid rain, etc.

in This Election Has Made Me More Liberal on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

I've been saying this for several years now. Ideologically, I am libertarian. However, I feel practically that we are no where close to living in an America where everyone is born with the same opportunity to succeed which i think is required for libertarianism.

in This Woman is Everything Wrong With America on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding

There needs to be a large and growing movement that pushes for the enforcement of separation of church and state. This is the bullshit that starts cultural wars and will inevitably be the end of the world.

in Why Politics Depress Me on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

I feel you on this. Fortunately and unfortunately, I feel that this is Obama's way of "playing the game". I fully believe this was just talk to show toughness. If you look at his decision making on the Iraq War, I believe his main goal in international relations is to normalize it with as many countries as he can.

in A Conservative for Obama on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

I've sent this article (plus many more) to my mom. I think she's definitely considering Obama more, especially after I was consistently debunking every McCain article of misinformation she was trying to send to me.

in McC finally sits for an interview (Scripting News) on Scripting News
Great. If Sarah Palin knows more about energy than anyone else in the United States of America, we are in a very sorry state.

Shane,
While on the whole the situation is not entirely relevant, it does seem immature and if part of their campaign is about reaching across party lines, this certainly shows otherwise.

Shane, when it comes down to the difference of librarian being a vocal opposition to Palin and the librarian having a political preference, there really is little difference that should reflect upon her ability to perform her job.


What political ties does a librarian have with government? She could absolutely hate Palin and tell everyone she knows that, and it's irrelevant on her ability to succeed at her job.

TIMM,
Well, if there was a specific list or not, the fact that the issue was even brought to the table is kind of messed up to me.


The request for resignation simply because she supported Palin's opposition is messed up as well. The person was a librarian. What does her political preference have to do with the librarian's ability to perform their job?

in Obama Shows How He’ll Pwn in Debates With Republicans [Short Vid] on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

Jonathan, you are either lying to yourself, believing the lies of others, or are ignorant to the situation.


In case you haven't heard, the McCain campaign's only line of attack on Obama had been his lack of experience relative to McCain. By the same standards of administrative experience, McCain has less experience than Palin too.


So I'll have to disagree with you on this one. This video definitely does show pwnage.

TIMM, you article you post seems to suggest that Palin did indeed approach the library about banning books. And also that she abused her power (employment termination).
