    Did your mother and or grandmother ever give them shit for leaving
    carbon footprints, all over her clean kitchen floor, when they returned
    from work?

    Did they ever get shit for leaving carbon *hand-prints* on the 'Oh my
    god... the relatives are staying over for the weekend!' special towels?

  2. Sorry, but current and recent past raw data from NASA simply do not
    indicate this. In fact, the data indicate that the warming period has
    ended or is about to.

  4. You can be pretty dirty making lead acid batteries as well. And many
    parts get shipped around in a complex global assembly process. I
    don't see how the batteries are any different from a radio.

  5. Mike doesn't like uncertainty. He prefers to be certainly wrong.

    You might as well talk to a wall for all the good it does Mike. These
    guys have sucked down all the "America is rotten" and "It's all
    America's fault" socialists crap and they are not going to listen to
    the truth. I don't understand why they don't move to a country that
    matches their hate of freedom and capitalism. That's not true, I do
    know why they stay in the country they hate. They don't want to give
    up their easy chairs, wide screen TVs, HD DVD players and Big Mac's
    for an unheated shack and cold goat meat.

    What does this have to do with the issue at hand? The fact is that in
    some areas, mountains literally have their tops blown off and the rocks
    from the blasts end up in the valleys.

    What you're making is a straw-man argument. The fact is that one think
    that America is a great country, but can be made better.
    You mean like the freedom to enjoy the valleys? Oops, the valleys were
    filled in with mountain top.
    You've got the strawman argument style down pat!

  11. Gee, looks terrible but I am sure it will all be fine because America
    is wonderful.
    I surprised he didn't include faith along with capitalism and freedom.
    As in, the faith to move the mountain, the capitalism to sell it and
    the freedom to leave.
    I particularly like the Big Mac vs. cold goat meat false dichotomy.
    Was the goat meat previously stewed in a spicy sauce by any chance?

  13. Consuber Reports just calculated Total Cost of Ownership for a bunch
    of vehicles. Guess who came out on top?
