>> I'm very charming in person.... I never had any doubt. >> Who do you think we should elect as President this year? I think these are all rhetorical questions but I'm going to answer them anyway lol. I'm supporting Trump because he is the least-worst candidate who can potentially win. When it comes time to vote, it is very likely I will vote for Johnson/Weld, however. As my practice is to vote Libertarian when it appears my vote won't matter, and my state will be voting for Trump regardless of what I do. As to Climate Change, it is probably happening, but we have no way at this time to establish credibly whether it is caused by humans. If we bet that it is and spend money "doing something about it" (e.g., more expensive energy) it may be that it turns out NOT to be caused by humans. And, that we've spent all our money throwing it at more expensive technologies and have none left to deal with the real problems of flooded cities, which will happen anyway. I support continued research using a balanced approach to funding such that we're not just spending money with those who have already made up their minds there IS human-caused climate change. So, we would split research funds between two or more groups, each trying to prove THEIR hypothesis. But don't spend it all on those who are already religiously committed to the outcome. And see what happens. I would stop all subsidies for renewables research until we had a clear understanding of the issues devoid of political debate. >> Should we be more aggressive with the Russians and Chinese? I believe Trump's campaign rhetoric has benefitted the US position more than anything that happened in the last eight years with respect to these two. That about covers it lol..
