"Accountability barely exists in America, all quarters.
Whether it’s a war based on trumped up facts or brazen financial crimes. Government has turned into enablers, starting with the Republicans over the past 30 years have been the main enablers, the root of this massive transfer of wealth. Then picked up and continued by Democrats (i.e Bill Clinton and Glass-Steagall) who also turned into enablers.
The banks run fiscal policy. Wall Street makes risky bets and rake in the profits from it. When they fail, they run to the Government (Too Big To Fail). Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
Politicians (both sides) are bought and paid for by corporations and Wall Street. Now the Supreme Court (the rot hasn’t escaped the highest court of the land either) has determined that money is speech which only further exacerbates the problem and gives moneyed interests even greater ability to buy influence in elections.
Give me a politician that doesn’t take a check from Wall Street and you have my vote. Until then taxpayers and the greater wealth of the nation will continue to be looted by a handful of moneyed interests. Dec 03, 2011 2:35am EST "
"As far as disproving AGW I don’t think that is possible. It is not a scientific (falsifiable) theory but a religion. Unless you count the four IPCC global forecasts with confidence ranges as predictions of the AGW theory. If so, AGW was disproven by the IPCC 4 times … four projections all wrong … the earth is colder than all four of the coldest possible projection. The IPPC will start working on a new report within a year … I am sure they will produce another equally fine projection of global climate."Found HERE

"Godwin's Law is more for things like discussions on whether coffee or tea is better, with the tea lover calling the coffee lover a Nazi since Hitler liked coffee. Discussions on, say, comparing a certain president - who invades countries on false pretenses, tries to establish a police state in his own country, calls people who disagrees with him 'traitors', kills hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and calls it 'collateral damage', and so on - with Hitler would not invoke Godwin's Law since there is a reasonable basis for a comparison."Evilest Doer (969227), July 04 2007)

Menudo, New Kids on the Block, N'Sync, and Backstreet Boys all also originated this way.

[Nope. Color has many causes: absorption as with dyes, interference as with interference filters, and scattering as with smoke and aerogel. But further, color is a property perceived by humans and created by human retinas and minds response to incoming light. Regardless of the physical mechanism, if blue light comes from an object illuminated with white light, then we say that the object is 'colored blue'. Aerogel is blue/white in color. So are opals. So are thick layers of gas. If I look at a gas and see blue, then the color of the gas is blue. That's what the word 'color' means. The spectral distribution of the light striking the retina is critical, while the details of the physics which produced that distribution are irrelevant, because if it looks blue, it really is blue. Your reasoning is also wrong because, in order to be consistent, we'd have to say that interference coatings and blue-jay feathers and Morpho butterfly wings are NOT COLORED. After all, interference coatings and morpho wings and bluejay feathers are entirely made of transparent materials, and their perceived colors are created by wave interference rather than by dyes. Bluejays are blue, yet there are no blue dyes in their feathers at all. Air is analogous: when air is lit from the side, the air is colored blue, even though the color is created by wave mechanics rather than by selective absorbtion. (And of course air is also red/orange, as during a sunset. The color of air varies with viewing angle. Hmmm. Perhaps you would say that, if the color of an object will change in proportion to angle, then the color is not real?) -billb ]
