This year is the second worse and is not yet over. Coincidence? I don't think so. No, I consider it more bad policies of Dems in California government to not build roads, fire breaks for these yearly issues. They're to busy adding serial numbers to firing pins in 2010 and solving other make believe problems.

Tom Harkin wants to give that radical group La Raza a half million of taxpayers hard-earned $s. If Repubs paid off their supporters like Dems, we'd propose the following more worthwhile earmarks: >let’s fight fire with fire. I am laying down the gauntlet to the Conservatives in the Congress and the Senate -- don’t get left behind. The Democrats aren’t just building bridges to nowhere, they are party building, with our money! Let’s do the same thing. I want a museum built to honor the ‘Vietnam servicemen who were spat upon’, how about a half a million for that? That sounds fair, since they were working in the service of Lyndon Johnson in South East Asia. I let’s also build a wing on the Spat Upon Service Men Museum that also honors the contribution of the members of ROTC who today are hassled on college campuses nationwide. Heck, let’s build it right next to the hippy museum! Or how about a half a million to honor the thousands of victims of illegal aliens, who wipe out Americans every year, in drunk driving accidents and homicides -- we can build that right next to the La Raza project. But let’s not stop there. Let’s do something to really honor our side of the equation—how about a monument to honor the PATRIOT ACT? How about a museum to honor Gitmo and its role in keeping us safe! Why not a monument to The Surge—because its working too! While we are at it, toss in a couple of hundred thousand to memorialize the great deeds of the nation of Turkey in the last 50 years. (Remember those Turks risked a lot for Harry Truman on the Korean Peninsula!) A pro Turkey display -- that’ll really frost Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. Reid won’t it? They hate when you honor anything tied to a victory and pro-American message.<

The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population. -- Reid Bryson, "Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man", (1971) The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer -- Paul Ehrlich - The Population Bomb (1968) I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 -- Paul Ehrlich in (1969) In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish. -- Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970) Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . . in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion -- Paul Ehrlich in (1976) This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century -- Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976 There are ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production - with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon... The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it. -- Newsweek, April 28, (1975) This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. -- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976 If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. -- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970) prisonplanet.com

That's amazing, Kenneth... Last year was our worst wildfire season in history. Where did you get the earth's entire wildfire history? Or are you just trying to hype your Man-Made Global warming religion again? "Coincidence? I don't think so." You really stink at doing the "snake oil" salesman thing. Why don't you go back your wacky lefty thread and drum up a few grunts and groans from your fellow kool-aid drinkers. Your idiotic ideology dosen't sell well here. :) Diz-
