  i hope this link works but there has been virtually no sunspot activity since the beginning of this year and the suns magnetic field is down 60%.. if this link does not work, you might like to try googling: sunspot activity 2008 iceage.. the last time this happened we moved into a little ice age which lasted from 1100 to 1800.. global warming lies may well have met their match with reality.. so how will they tax us for the 'ice age?

  do we get our tax back that we paid because of 'global warming'.. is this why they have made fuel so expensive....because they know what is coming and they want to make a killing?.

  So, basically what you are saying is that you hate taxes. And, if your government ministers proposed a tax to prevent global cooling, you would find a reason to reject that as well.

  I once saw a bumper sticker that read, "So many cats, so few recipes." Of course, I am a cat lover, but I could still see the humor in it.

  unbaptized, I find your glee highly disturbing and your historical perspective extremely narrow. As a born-in Witness, I do understand it, however, because I, too, was raised in a sheltered environment. I recommend some educational reading. For instance, how does an economic downturn, something that reduces the standard of living for some north Americans, compare with the very real and devastating effects of war, something that hasn't happened on American soil for over a century?
  
  Take for instance this World War II account written by Kurt Vonnegut entitled "The Blood of Dresden."
  
  Excerpt:

  We cut our way through a basement wall to discover a reeking hash of over 100 human beings. Flame must have swept through before the building’s collapse sealed the exits, because the flesh of those within resembled the texture of prunes. Our job, it was explained, was to wade into the shambles and bring forth the remains. Encouraged by cuffing and guttural abuse, wade in we did. We did exactly that, for the floor was covered with an unsavoury broth from burst water mains and viscera.

  Full article here.
  
  Still looking forward to Armageddon?

  If it is "fulfilled" then God's got pretty low standards.

  Wrecking of United States of America

  i am almost shaking as i write this for what is happening to the capital markets, this country, and the free world.

  the impact of the past two weeks' action in the financial markets, if not reversed by cooler heads, will have irreparably changed the world in a way that only terrorist attacks and acts of war have in the past.. .

  nationalizing fannie mae and freddie mac, providing an emergency quasi-legal bridge loan to aig, temporarily banning short-selling on all stocks in the us, and instituting an rtc-type entity to handle the toxic waste of the financial system is economic violence on a grand scale.. .

  abbagail, I have looked at the anti-globalist videos and information by Alex Jones and others. They seem to make a pretty good case for some kind of elite agenda, but I weary of their presentation. They want to wrest control from the elites, and for what? Unfortunately, there is no ideal solution, and I don't buy into the promises of idealists anymore. I can't say I relish the thought of being manipulated by elite propaganda. At the same time, I can't see where you or I can do anything but keep on living "normal" lives, come what may. So, basically, consider my posting a kind of intellectual exercise for me, myself, and I.
  
  I can't see how this article comes across as "elite eco-terrorism." This guy is preaching to the choir, so to speak, that is to those few who may try to see where our collective course of actions may take us in the future. He says, "This is how things are going to fall apart, and there is nothing anyone will do about it." No one in the mainstream press is going to cover the points presented in that article. Besides, terrorism is only covered when the elites can use it to tighten control. Anytime there is a perceived instability in the system, efforts are made to shore it up by imposing greater controls. Bad news by itself doesn't sell advertising, and the elites want you to buy that new hybrid SUV. They want you to be able to refinance your home and buy big screen LCD televisions and Sony PlayStation 3 video game consoles. The mantra of the elites is "Growth Is Good." The Globalist elite says, "Let's all get rich together!"
  
  Finally, the author knows that no one will accept the politically and socially unacceptable steps that may be required for a smooth transition to a sustainable future. I for one am not offended that I am part of the "problem." I have lived far better than most of my ancestors and may yet live far longer too. I have consumed and polluted far more than any of them in my lifetime as well. Why should I be ashamed of that, even now that I am aware of it? I cannot change until the system changes and vice versa.

  Burn, you made very good points in your post, but the rot goes even deeper than that.
  

  The Real “Inconvenient Truth”
  
  Unfortunately, the probability that we will choose to modify our distorted worldview and our dysfunctional resource utilization behavior is essentially zero. We will not implement an American Cultural Revolution; and we will not opt to transition voluntarily to a sustainable lifestyle paradigm. As human beings, and especially as self-entitled Americans, we have demonstrated little capacity for self-limiting behavior—especially if it involves drastic reductions to some combination of our population level and material living standards.
  
  We simply lack the collective will to reduce voluntarily our ecological/economic “footprint” to a sustainable size, and to live forever within the constraints imposed by that reduced footprint.
  
  Instead, we will use the remaining ecological and economic resources available to us in futile attempts to perpetuate our American way of life at all costs, even as we encounter increasingly severe resource supply shortages and disruptions. Nature will inevitably intervene through disasters, disease, pestilence, and famine to force our transition to sustainability through societal collapse—unless we annihilate ourselves in the meantime through domestic and international resource wars.
  
  We may have forgiven ourselves for being uninformed or misinformed; but Nature has not forgiven anybody…

  From America’s self-inflicted societal collapse.
  
  I surely hope that the situation presented by the author of that article is overly pessimistic, but only time will tell. I don't even think that this is political in nature because no politician would ever recommend the solutions that this author is suggesting and expect to remain in office, or even win an election for that matter.
  
  As for the current monetary high jinks, the way I see it they really have no choice. They fear that a true market correction at this point would end civilized life as we know it. May we live in interesting times, indeed.

  my doctor has been ragging on me to lose weight for quite awhile.

  the last visit i was in he also railed against nutrasweet.

  he gave me one of those mass mailing testimonies about nutrasweet which called it "sweet poison.

  I have drunk more than a healthy share of pop, cola, soda, etc., both "naturally" sweetened with high fructose corn syrup and artificially sweetened with aspartame and Splenda. It's impractical for me to completely cut it out of my diet, but I have attempted to cut back as much as possible.
  
  At home I make lightly sweetened iced tea using pure cane sugar. At work, I drink filtered water and diet 7-UP along with the occasional Malta India.
  
  I think the next step is to try Stevia in place of sugar in my tea and coffee at home. Anyone use Stevia?

  I can get movies, videos, music, audio books, and games from the internet. I've already made my choice: I don't watch television anymore.
