Government Can't Make Us Happy

How typical! Greg, get some lined paper and write the following 1000 times: "Two wrongs do not make a right".
Hold on. My degree was in "English Lit", and I was able to make a pretty good career in business with no problem. I'm 70 and retired now, but I never found it difficult to find a job and go up the corporate ladder because my education gave me the ability to communicate effectively. This English major's problem is that he's focused on his "right" to a job rather than his responsibility to make his own way in the world.

Obama Is Occupying America

I cannot agree that the office of Attorney General should be an elected office. What we really need is an electorate that elects a President who respects the Rule of Law and appoints an AG to carry it out impartially. What we have instead is a scofflaw President and who has appointed his henchman as AG. They are working in tandem to bend the law to their agenda. I don't think that's what the Founders had in mind.

Amanda Knox: A Cautionary Tale

Highly doubtful. Her conviction was based on bogus DNA testing. That would never have passed cross examination in this country. In fact, the true murderer was convicted. That is the African drug dealer whose DNA was all over the crime scene and even inside the victim.
Too true, Vermont American. And let's not forget the bought-and-paid-for Democrat constituencies -- bought and paid for with our tax dollars -- unions, blacks, Hispanics, and government employees. Add in the socialists/communists, radical environmentalists, and anti-war bleeding heart liberal progressives and the Dems start every election with a guaranteed voting block that cares only about its own narrow self-interests.
Agree. It deserved to be at the top of the Daily list.

LOL, Rich. I won't be surprised if that is qr's next argument. But anyway, he's wrong on another point. He says that it is possible to identify human caused CO2 because it has a unique isotopic signature. He gets this from the IPCC's AR4 report. The IPCC is desperate to prove that human caused CO2 is unique and identifiable by its 12C signature and that it stays in the atmosphere trapping heat while 13C carbon gets absorbed by natural sinks; ergo, man's CO2 is causing global warming. Mišo Alkalaj of Slovenia refutes the IPCC claim. He states that 95% of decaying vegetation has the same 12C signature as fossil fuel generated carbon, and further, that decaying vegetation dwarfs 12C from fossil fuel combustion.

More wrong headed nonsense, qr. You're claiming that carbon sinks exactly match the output from natural CO2 sources but are incapable of sinking human produced CO2. Carbon sinks are ncapable of distinguishing between "natural" CO2 and "anthropogenic" CO2. Why do horticulturalists add CO2 to glass enclosed greenhouses? How do the plants respond? They burgeon forth, producing more and richer leaves and converting more CO2 to oxygen via photosynthesis. In other words, the more CO2 in the environment, the more sinking takes place, and the more productive the vegetation. It is not a zero sum game.

"So when something else causes a temperature increase (such as extra CO2 from fossil fuels), more water evaporates. Since water vapor is a greenhouse gas, this additional water vapor causes the temperature to go up even further—a positive feedback." That's what the IPCC drones say, and it is why their climate models show ever increasing warming. It's also why their models are wrong. In the real world, water vapor is a negative feedback. Water vapor forms clouds which reduces the amount of energy from the sun that reaches the earth's surface. Furthernore, moisture from the clouds precipitates out as rain, another earth cooling feedback. This is all so elementary. How do you not know this stuff?
Speaking of extraordinary popular delusions, how about man made global warming/climate change?
