    Um, no. There was a recount that wasn't finished in the LEGAL amount of
    time... All recounts done after the elections was closed came out with bush
    winning.

    what's funny is the libs had no problem with gore asking for point
    recounts... when bush asked for a statewide recount he was "stealing" the
    election...

    What all the computer models in the world miss is the effects of cloud
    cover. It isn't certain if the heat retained because of clouds
    offsets the heat reflected because of clouds.

    Worse, computer models divide the globe into discrete sections and
    none of these sections can accurately account for cloud cover.

    As a result, all models treat cloud cover as a parameterized input.
    That is, he who wishes to model a prediction just adds in the cloud
    cover affect just as he wishes.

    "OK, but would you then agree that a government that tries to take away
    women's right to choose is being fascist?"
    Jesus, a woman also doesn't have the right to attempt suicide (yes,
    attempted suicide is illegal). Personally, I feel that abortion is
    premeditated murder; my opinion has nothing to do with a relegious stance.
    I also don't care if abortion is legal or not. I do think it's funny that
    libs are pro-baby-murder but anti death penalty. Of course, it's also funny
    that anti-baby-murder folks are also pro death penalty. I like the military
    motto of "kill them all, let god sort them out"

    Computer models have been misused in this topic. The basic problem
    with them is that they are pre-programed with the assumption that
    the corrolation seen in some data is causation. Right then and there
    what ever the computer model spits out is but a *PREDICTION*.

    There are two ways to test these predictions. One, see if they
    can predict the future. Run them, then wait and see if the future
    matches. Two, run them given the data to some past date. See if they
    predict what occured after that date.

    To the best of my knowledge, the computer climate models continue
    to fail these real world tests. Therefore, they are not something
    to base policy on.

    Trouble is, too many people think that just because it came out of a
    computer that makes it accurate and correct.

    The "public sector" jobs generate some taxes that go to the feds. The taxes
    from the jobs in the "private sector" is money that comes from the feds
    right back to the feds.

    First, maybe he can tell me who took the measurements.

    Let's see, we will measure current levels with ultra sensitive
    instruments, and we will simply make up data for before we had any
    instruments...

    You're being VERY politically incorrect by trying to use common sense and
    logic rather than just going along with this scam like a good little green
    lemming.....

  16. You list precisely the limited government I support, which must establish a
    secure and stable environment for free people to flourish. Roads, security,
    safety, rule of law, etc.

    If this is what government limited its self to, our taxes would be 10%
    across the board.

    Hey, what is your problem? You know for a fact that computers predict
    the weather with 100% accuracy every single day in every single point
    on the globe. How dare you doubt that computers can predict something
    with a million more variables over a period of time far larger!

    What kind of brain using person are you?

    Oh wait, you are right.

    When weighted for shares owned, what is the average income of shareholders?

    That is, rather than asking every person in the US whether they own and
    stock and averaging their income if they do, look at every share of stock
    held and average the incomes of its owner.

    I suspect the number would be significantly higher than 40k. I suspect
    that most shares in the US are held by people making more than $1,000,000
    per year (or by companies run by people that make more than $1,000,000 per
    year.
