Agreed,
So Loren49, are you in agreement with ***** Bin Laden.

FallbrockFarmer-Don't understand where you where coming from on Democracy? My point with Medicare and Medicade is that these programs have not successfully been challenged in the courts. That leads me to believe that so far they are considered constitutional. If you have some insight that the other constitutional scholars have missed why not share it with them. I predict that even the current Supreme Court would not hear your case. Also was there any claim made in the site you criticized that has been challenged successfully on constitutional grounds. (it's easy to try to discredit the messenger) There are many things our government pursues that concern me way more than trying to assure basic medical care for everyone in the richest country in the world.

I'm sure the W.H.O. is suspect since it doesn't have the professional input of our health industry lobbyists.

If I may,
The difference between a pure democracy and a Representative republic, is that in a pure democracy, majority rules, in other words 50% + 1 does whatever it wants. In a representive republic, minorities are protected.
Their rights cannot be extinguished by a majority vote.
Which one do you want to live in?

More global warming fraud:

From The Times Online (London Times)

"The chairman of the leading climate change watchdog was informed that claims about melting Himalayan glaciers were false before the Copenhagen summit, The Times has learnt."

"Rajendra Pachauri was told that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment that the glaciers would disappear by 2035 was wrong, but he waited two months to correct it. He failed to act despite learning that the claim had been refuted by several leading glaciologists."

"The IPCC痴 report underpinned the proposals at Copenhagen for drastic cuts in global emissions."

"Dr Pachauri, who played a leading role at the summit, corrected the error last week after coming under media pressure. He told The Times on January 22 that he had only known about the error for a few days. He said: 的 became aware of this when it was reported in the media about ten days ago. Before that, it was really not made known. Nobody brought it to my attention. There were statements, but we never looked at this 2035 number.

"...However, a prominent science journalist said that he had asked Dr Pachauri about the 2035 error last November. Pallava Bagla, who writes for Science journal, said he had asked Dr Pachauri about the error. He said that Dr Pachauri had replied: 的 don稚 have anything to add on glaciers.

"The Himalayan glaciers are so thick and at such high altitude that most glaciologists believe they would take several hundred years to melt at the present rate. Some are growing and many show little sign of change. "

"...Dr Pacharui has also been accused of using the error to win grants worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. "

Ah, yes, follow the money!

Great Post,
Did you happen to see the link in the story to "The Green Rich" about where Warren Buffett, Bill Gates et al are putting their money.
Bill Gates is investing in a company called Sapphire Energy that is working on producing crude from algae.
Think of the possibilities of that!
The interesting part of the story is that the company was started by scientists who saw that ethanol was not the answer to our needs. So who was pushing ethanol production? Politicians from corn growing states?
As I said before the most efficient way to "allocate scarce resources with alternative uses" is the free market. And that applies to AGW(If it exists) and health care.(Sorry!)

Yes, the biofuel from algae research has been going on for some time now. Haven't seen much on it lately, but earlier it seemed to have great potential. What they are looking for is to genetically engineer the algae to get it to produce more fuel for less input and in a shorter time. And they will do research on what inputs are needed, fertilizer or whatever to maximize output at the lowest cost.

Then I suspect there will be those who will want to market "organic" biofuel no genetic engineering, no inputs other than pure water and pure sunlight from the unpolluted high peaks of the Andes.

On the serious side, I do have hopes for fuel from algae. I had expected some breakthroughs by now, but so far, the research plods along.

Saw a program about this on the History Channel this week. They have a power plant in AZ where they capture the CO2 from the stacks and use it to feed algae, which in turn can be used to make fuel and a couple other things. They are in the pilot/development stage now but are expanding that. They said, for the power plant in the show, it would have to surrounded by 2000 acres of algae 'farms' to totally utilize the CO2 available - using their current technology.

The AZ sunshine helps no doubt. They do run cooling tubes through the algae soup to keep the mixture at the optimal algae growth range.

But they are gaining confidence it is a net energy producing technique, plus some useful by-products, and reduces CO2 emissions at the same time.

Good Morning,
There are some minorities who would argue that is not the way it is actually working out for them . That's a touchy subject, but there are other examples that do bear out your point.

You are ,of course referring to Republicans?
Sorry, couldn't help it!

Good one. LOL
Nah, there's nothing 'touchy - feely' about your average Republican

And as I stated before, the only way to judge a news outlet is to measure the accuracy of their reporting. I would put Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity/Wall st. Journal up against New York times/Air America/Chris Matthews any time. Any takers?

I accept the Wall Street Journal as a legitimate News Source ( with an agenda to promote their political leanings) The rest of you sources are just entertainers.

Rush has many times freely admitted that his is an entertainer and that he does not have to live by what hew preaches. IE: multiple divorces, drug addiction etc, etc.

Glenn Beck is so credible
