Xmas Lights - Seriously Unimpressed

[Rich Grise]

Do you believe everything you see in a television documentary? Or just
the documentaries on PBS?

I think he believes anything that agrees with the party line.

Cheers!

I did. Very positive! Seems they are a success, and therefore are being
attacked by those jealous of that which they can not achieve.

Interesting!

Not jealousy. Envy. Jealousy is fear of being replaced. Envy, however, has
shown since time immemorial to be a very, very powerful political tool.

Cheers!

You DO mean 'preference's don't you?

Well, one thing I can say about Watson is, if he meant "preferences", he
wouldn't have stuck in the stupid extraneous apostrophe, you ignoramus.

I think he's trying to push on a rope. Attacked? Gimme a break.
Jealous or envious? Gimme a break. More like they cannot (or will not)
achieve what Giant Company is achieving by illegal and unethical means.
That's what the articles point out. But then he's too blind to see
that. I'm wasting my time, talking to a tree. (/ent)

Had nothing to say, as usual!

Please, don't insult trees like that! They are sentient, you know. And
Clarence, well, he's only Clarence.

Speaking of trees, howcome the "greenhouse gases" crowd neglect to notice
that CO2 is very, very good for plants! (and howcome they don't recommend
plugging up the volcanoes? ;-) )

Cheers!

Usually plants are limited by things other than CO2. I have heard of
experiments where someone tried to make plants grow faster by feeding them
extra CO2, and what I usually hear the result being is unsuccessful.

Although I don't doubt that there are some things that would grow faster
and/or better if we had more CO2 in our atmosphere. And I'm sure there
are farmers and prospective farmers in parts of Canada and other cold
places that would be glad to have a longer growing season from global
warming.

(and howcome they don't recommend plugging up the volcanoes? ;-) )

The main complaint of "greenhouse gases" is that they make the world
warmer, and volcanoes make the world cooler since they spew particles that
block sunlight.
