Hi Harvey, Chuck, Brian, Gordon, Joe, EnViroNetrs, <When I wrote of an inferior candidate who used smear tactics to get elected, I had a couple others in mind, not Jefferson. I think you know that but thanks for the history lesson.> Harvey, I knew you knew that Jefferson was good. Jefferson died first and was reported to say something like "John is still alive". And when John Adams died either within hours or the next day John Adams was reported to have said the same thing for his later in life letter writing friend Jefferson. I have seen this story a few times and it is someplace on the History Channel or NatGeoC or PBS. <So you never heard of the Global Warming Swindle. Google it, but be sure to read the critiques as well.> I will. The only thing I can remember seeing recently was an article about how some Congressman from Oklahoma brought a Science Fiction writer to testify that Global Warming was hogwash. That was the recent Cheney Republican Congress so it was pretty much A Full Political Theatre to manipulate public opinion since the Executive Branch was running the entire government. This was the worse congress that I have seen in Years and Years, and it is near embarrassing to still be a registered republican. Mit Romney from Mass in spite of his fantastic good looks, and charisma is another GOP embarrassment. Yet his good looks go a long way for the populace. History does repeat itself and we have had far worse Congress's is my only up tick. The Britts got the same problem when they finally get rid of lying, hyping TonyB. YiEngr, MA/NY DDave Yours in Engineering, Dave P.S. Remember according to predictions this year our average temperature will go up maybe 0.03 degrees (3/100) on a statistical trend line. A slow road with lots and lots of human politics on the horizon since most citizens have no idea about a statisical trend line.
