Hi Christine!

Let's say we have a group of people who sincerely but wrongly believe that global warming is no problemo.

You then, have "scientifically" pointed out to them a 90-95 percent likelihood that they are wrong. Finally, the case is nailed shut when a passionately concerned actor says so during his Oscar acceptance speech (while wearing the obligatory little blue and green ribbon on his tux).

Next, we notice the gasoline beginning to boil (bubble, bubble, bubble). It is unclear whether you would have the miscreants thrown wholly into the soup or simply forced to immerse some body part for a brief period.

While you follow that prescription with a, "Seriously, though... ," there's no smiley or <ggg> in sight. I'm thinking; you won't actually poach the stupid bastards but, you ARE thinking "... would serve 'em right!"

As we wait for the final 5 or 10 percent of the global warming proof to come in before taking extreme measures, why don't we do this -- why don't we agree that 100 percent of the verifiable evidence shows that crack addicts, habitual criminals, welfare moms who continue to have baby after baby and the hardcore assholes who make it IMPOSSIBLE for fellow 'students' to learn anything in school are expensive environmental blights?

Maybe there's a use for that boiling gasoline after all. What do you think, Thread Mother?
