Perhaps it would be entertaining to see what Linden LaRouche ranking you get. A list of Larouche positions are listed here: en.wikipedia.org The LaRouche network has taken a stand on a number of controversial issues: [1] * They have called for a moratorium on Third World debt. [2] * They have opposed the so-called counterculture, and the legalization of recreational drugs, arguing that these create a "bread and circuses"[5] culture of self-centered hedonism, and a highly manipulable population. LaRouche calls for a revival of classical culture, particularly in the domain of public education. [3] * They have supported nuclear energy and other complex technologies often opposed by the environmentalist movement, arguing that human survival depends on a progression of technologies. (see LaRouche on Economics.) [4] * They believe that the idea of man-made global warming is a "fraud", and have referred to the Oscar-winning documentary film An Inconvenient Truth as "the Great Luddite Hoax."[6] LaRouche has endorsed the British TV documentary, The Great Global Warming Swindle. [5] * They defended President Bill Clinton during his impeachment scandal, claiming that those who called for Clinton's resignation or impeachment following the Monica Lewinsky scandal were hiding their true motives. [6] * They opposed the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 invasion of Iraq and supported Argentina in the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas war, arguing that under the Monroe Doctrine, the United States was obliged to oppose European colonies in the Western Hemisphere. [7] * They opposed, from 1979 onwards, the deregulation of trucking, airlines, telecommunications, public utilities, and financial services in the U.S., during a period when deregulation was embraced by the leadership of both the Democratic and Republican parties. [8] * They oppose the United Nations and other international organizations, particularly the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, in cases where LaRouche says they interfere with the concept of the Westphalian state and the Platonic ideal of a "perfectly sovereign nation-state republic".[citation needed] This holds especially true for their conduct toward the nations of the Third World, and LaRouche further argues that this conduct represents neo-colonialism. I'll bet that everyone could find at least one position they agree with. Which ones do you agree with?

Carbon, like hippies, tends to be cosmic. kencroswell.com It doesn't exist as gaseous carbon ( like N2, O2, H2), so the troposphere isn't making CO2. We are making it by burning carbon compounds in the presence of oxygen, > CO (incomplete combustion) and CO2. One of these days, if it hasn't already started, it will begin to outgas from soil, especially where the permafrost is thawing. The troposphere is warming because of increasing CO2, not the reverse. GHG are the cause, increased tropospheric temps are the effect. en.wikipedia.org I've bought dope from Queen Elizabeth a few times. In fact, as recently as her visit here. (That's why Lyndon hates me; and cuz I'm a counterculture self-centered hedonist eating bread at the circus). I have seen no evidence Liz (I call her Liz) is an alien shape shifting lizard. The Theories of David Icke According to David Icke reptilian humanoids are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at manipulation and control of humanity. He contends that most of the world's leaders, from George W. Bush to members of the British royal family, are in fact 7-foot tall, blood-drinking reptilians from the star system Alpha Draconis. According to an interview with David Icke, Christine Fitzgerald, a confidante of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, claims that Diana told her that the Royal Family were reptilian aliens, and that they could shapeshift. [12] David Icke and others have claimed that U.S. President George W. Bush and his family are part of this same bloodline (Icke, 2004). Icke claims, based on his exploration of genealogical connections to European royalty, that many presidents of the United States have been and are reptilian humanoids. In his view, United States foreign policy after September 11 is the product of a reptilian conspiracy to enslave humanity, with George W. Bush as a servant of the reptilians. He also theorizes that the reptilians came to Earth from the constellation Draco. One type of reptilian entity that people see during alleged encounters resembles reptoids similar to those that are addressed in the studies of John Rhodes and the Reptoids Research Center. Like most conspiracy theories, proving Icke's hypotheses is impossible, but he continues to sell books and give speaking engagements based on concepts ranging from the New Age to his political opinions. en.wikipedia.org davidicke.com
