When We fight among ourselves, it distracts from the REAL GOALS, 3 of them
1. Global Warming

2. Sustainability

3. Astroid impacting Earth.

If we cannot resolve these 3.... we will not survive very much longer as a species. Rational People will agree and ignorant people will not.

3. I hope the "Astroid Impacting Earth" meme doesn't spread.
I think it's silly. There no more risk of that now that there has been at any other time. It might happen. It might not.

Calling people who disagree with you "ignorant" detracts from what little persuasive power your thread has, IMO.

4. Nice stranglehold on debate you put in there
"Rational People will agree and ignorant people will not."

So why bother discuss anything at all, you're either in line or ignorant

9. how could you leave off the neoCONs, PATRIOT ACT, BBV?
those are my top 3 concerns...

if we can't take care of those we will never be in a position to address the others, imho.

think global, act local

peace

code for "we must adequately fund the Star Wars Missile System"?

14. Actually truth be told....
i'm more concerned about the impending fulfillment oif Nostradamus predictions what iwht the hurricans and earthquakes and tsunamis and whatnot.


oh yeah, and the locust plagues, and birds winding up in strange places.



it's getting curiouser and curiouser.



but i've been planning all my life for global annihilation, so i'm ready. *lol*


this is what growing up with the Cold War does to you i think.
