As a result, we are stuck in the band-aid approach of the current administration which absolutely did fail on that point in properly funding the war and expanding the forces needed to meet combat operational requirements.

I can fully sympathise. As far as I can see our MoD is trying to fight a two front war on existing peacetime budgets. Wars are also generally not the time when the army is reduced in size.

All of the main religions have traditions of learning and academic study. They also have times and places where they seem to resist change and learning.

Still the fact that many learning institutions have strong religious affiliations suggests to me that religion has not much to fear from a more educated society.

I am sure that when a religion is perverted to work against learning, society has much to fear.

@ Kell,

If I'm wrong, I can still look the old man in the eye and tell him I was a good person who never set out to do anyone any harm. If he wants to take away my ice cream then he's no kind of God we should be associating with.

If you're wrong, think of the millions (billions?) of people who have (will have) suffered and died in the name of religion for nothing... absolutely nothing.

I admit that religion has its uses. God is the ultimate bogey-man,...

My opinion is that the greatest scam in American history was the "energy crisis" while Jimmy Carter was President. People were topping off their tanks and forming long gas lines. There was pleanty of gasoline. Frequently gasoline would run out at stations because gas delivery trucks couldn't get through the gas lines to deliver at the stations. When Reagan became President the paranoia was no longer being fed by the government and things got better fast.

Having students that go out into the world, become very successful, and move into positions of leadership in their chosen professions is most satisfactory. They also are incredible intelligence assets! Some time ago, at least a couple of years back, I posted that no matter what happened with the weather and climate over the next few years, it would all be a result of global warming, the man induced kind. This information came to me from sources I deemed to be 85-90% accurate. Now that things...

"it is both amusing and very telling that it is the absense of faith that has largely fueled the rise of the new religion - Radical Evironmentalism."

and at times quite strange. Hearing a died in the wool leftist atheist talk in religious terms about AGW ( I've posted the accusations previously ) is at first most disconcerting.

Brian: Takes an awful lot of FAITH to come up with a comment like that.

If I'm wrong, I spent some time reinforcing and teaching my children the basic tennets of humanity and humility.
If your wrong...well, no ice cream in your future.

Whether or not its a scam, it doesn't come close to religion.

There is the biggest scam in history.

The weather forecaster fellow did not say that exactly. He complained about people being panicked into wasting tax dollars and he was annoyed at people being panicked at all given the evidence such as it is. He also raised the very interesting point concerning people pushing their agenda for a world government.

That is not a new idea and different issues have been used to push for a world government over the last century. there is certainly an element of this in the push to limit...

jim3au,

I agree that the research is not wasted.

the reason I say its a scam is because of the premature rush to a political/economic/scientific solution that is focused on only one theory with all other theories being denigrated in a propaganda campaign. We have pointed out numerous areas were there are, shall we say, questionable assumptions which the so-called science is based in order to push a specific political agenda and financial scam through phony carbon trading....

There have been a few other scams in history that we can look back on and know that we were scammed.

So far there has been a bit of research on climate change and the mechanisms and drivers of it. I do not see any of the research as being wasted. It has every chance of being as useful as research into ancient Egypt and I do not begrudge that research either.

If in ten years time the Arctic is a warm and friendly place with cruise ships packed with tourists sailing...
