WASHINGTON - Coal-burning utilities are passing the hat for one of the few remaining scientists skeptical of the global warming harm caused by industries that burn fossil fuels. Pat Michaels — Virginia's state climatologist, a University of Virginia professor and senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute — told Western business leaders last year that he was running out of money for his analyses of other scientists' global warming research. So last week, a Colorado utility organized a collection campaign to help him out, raising at least $150,000 in donations and pledges.

I think she tells untruths
and I don;t like that in anyone. Bridge to nowhere, earmarks, etc. Don't like a hypocrite. What I really do not like, which is not actually her fault, is the fact that she is being foisted on us like she is so exceptional and we are lucky to have her. I don't think a woman whose main goal in life was to a sports reporter on TV has the brilliance and love of country we need in a leader. To be able to state with a straight face that she can see Russia from Alaska qualifies as foreigh policy experience is an insult to my intelligence. She entered a beauty contest and then wanted to coast along on her looks by looking pretty and reading a teleprompter on TV. That is just not a combination worthy of such a high office.
Repeating untruths does not make it truth.
When you are spoonfed what to think and do not research for yourself, you become part of the problem, IMO. Start taking books off the shelves, there goes the freedom of speech, then where does it end? Start making decisions for others, and there goes freedom period. What you desire is not freedom... it is called anarchy.... Freedom is not just an idea. To be truly free means being able to make choices for oneself without the encroachment of others....for good or ill. Please do not make my choices for me, and I really don't think you would like others making choices for you. Freedom is that simple.
