Science Becoming Religion

November 23, 2009

Those pushing the global warming fraud may be more careful about communicating by email now that a large number of their emails have been exposed on the web. The emails provide further evidence that many scientists are little more than con artists. Science's dirty secret is that scientists are the original con artists. The con artist tradition began with those called "medicine man" , "shaman", etc. These individuals possessed such knowledge as the various plants that could be used to treat human ailments and, in some societies, the movement of the stars. The shaman often convinced the village that he knew much more than he did.

ABC has run promos for All My Children (AMC) that are obviously false. In the long run successful advertising depends upon the credibility of the advertiser. ABC as an advertiser no longer has any credibility. A network that lies about what will happen on one show will lie about other shows. It probably isn't illegal for television networks to falsely advertise programs. The only recourse for viewers is to ignore promos by networks that have been known to lie.

Does the Obama administration understand why the U.S. invaded Afghanistan? Does Obama understand that the U.S. has no choice but to remain in Afghanistan until it can establish a stable government that will not allow the country to be a base for terrorism? The United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001 because the Taliban government of Afghanistan had allowed the country to be used by a group of al Qaeda terrorists who had attacked New York City and Washington, D.C., on September 11. The U.S. cannot afford to leave until it can be assured that the country has a government that will not allow the country to be used to stage any more attacks against the U.S.

The most important rule in health care is "first do no harm". Unfortunately Congressional Democrats seem totally oblivious to this rule. The health care system needs only minor surgery not major surgery.

President Barack Obama should follow the example set by North Vietnamese negotiator Le Duc Tho in 1973 and refuse the Nobel Peace Prize. It is inconceivable that the Commander in Chief of a nation whose troops are actively engaged in armed combat should be awarded a peace prize. I happen to support the U.S. role in both conflicts, but recognize that involvement in war is inconsistent with receiving the Nobel Prize.

the murder of Sedgwick County Sheriff Deputy Brian Etheridge demonstrates why police need to be careful when dealing with people. Etheridge was only expecting to take a theft report when he was ambushed. Officers never know when someone will turn violent, so they have to be careful, especially when an individual acts like he might become violent as was the case earlier this year with Professor Henry Gates.

Supporters of convicted criminal, movie director Roman Polanski believes he should be allowed to get away with skipping out on sentencing 32 years ago. He had originally been charged with giving a 13-year-old aspiring model champagne and part of a Quaalude and then raping and sodomizing her among other charges in spite of her pleas that he stop. According to the girl's grand jury testimony he photographed her topless, ostensibly for a magazine, and then had her completely disrobe before attacking her.

Will any government requirement to purchase health insurance include the threat to imprison those who refuse to purchase insurance or pay a fine? Will government confiscate money or property from those who refuse to purchase health insurance or pay a fine?

President Barack Obama needs to abandon his obsession with the Democrats' clunker health care proposal. His public relations campaign indicates desperation and an unwillingness to recognize that this clunker needs a new engine rather than a slick advertising campaign.

Lucas Wondra is one of many who are demonstrating that those with Down Syndrome are capable of more than many people with old fashioned ideas believe. Several others have earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Saran Itoh was playing the clarinet and speaking before audiences when she was 11. Chris Burke was a star of a successful television series, "Life Goes On."

President Barack Obama resembles the used car dealer in the CARFAX commercial. Did Obama try to force the issue because his proposal really isn't about providing better access to health care but providing money for the health care industry, including insurance companies?

The way some politicians talk I don't think they understand that insurance companies don't pay for health care, their customers do. The problem in American health care isn't a lack of insurance, but the high cost of medical care. The high cost of medical care hampers the ability of individuals and their employers to pay for medical care or purchase insurance.

The best health insurance programs cover a small range of disorders, but the coverage is available without regard to ability to pay. Programs like the Muscular Dystrophy Association, St. Jude's Hospital, etc. are examples of what was once a major part of American health care - charity facilities. Unfortunately, many former charity hospitals are run like profit making hospitals the priority going to making money instead of providing care without regard to ability to pay.

Why should we trust a president who keeps secrets to tell us the truth about his health care proposal? A president who refuses to divulge what apparently is minor information is likely to not tell us the real impact of his proposals.

The July 23rd episode of All My Children featured an incident in which several adults attempting to coerce a small child into claiming she saw her mother commit a murder instead of the woman who actually did it. \

Dealers should be encouraged to resell clunkers to people who own vehicles that get even less mileage, instead of scrapping them.

Obama's treatment of veterans' health benefits indicates he cannot be counted on to improve access to health care.

China plans to construct a replica of Neverland as a memorial to Michael Jackson similar to Elvis Presley's Graceland, but the current owner of the original Neverland isn't interested in anything like that. Are we going to let China take Neverland like it took American jobs?

Former respected NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw has been reduced to doing infomercials for the old Enron global warming scam. Brokaw repeated many of the old global warming myths in an attempt to convince people to support legislation that would allow financial parasites to trade something they call carbon credits.

The April Tea Parties didn't accomplish as much as they could because they lacked focus. One way to attract more attention would be to find something specific to protest such as Enron's proposed tax on carbon dioxide -- the breath tax.

Truth about Climate: This site provides summaries of articles providing the truth about climate issues. There is no consensus regardless of what the government and U.N. might say. The site links to articles explaining the real factors that influence climate such as solar output and the Atlantic and Pacific Oscillation and of course the el Nino / la Nina cycle.
Falsification of the Greenhouse Gas Theory: Dr. Gerhard Gerlich and Ralf D. Tscheuschner of the Institute for Mathematical Physics at the Carolo_Wilhelmina Technical University in Germany, have published an essay ("Falsification of the Atmospheric Greenhouse Effects Within the Framework of Physics") in which they point out the flaws in greenhouse gas theory. They trace the basic concepts from the first proposal by Jean Baptiste Fourier to current theories and conclude that the theory is inconsistent with the laws of physics. I'm aware of comments Gavin Schmidt has made about the essay, but his comments indicate he doesn't understand what they are talking about.
