[Vision2020] Al Gore wins an Oscar for...

[J Ford]

I guess my question about the "global warming issue" is - what did the 
dinosaurs do that made their world disappear?  Was it their gas (ala, the 
cows that are producing so much methane gas - like we heard about a few 
years ago) or was it that they simply ate their way through all the 
vegetation and were therefore not able to produce enough oxygen to sustain 
life as they new it?  And what happened that the Ice Age went bye-bye?  Was 
that global warming or was that something else?  LIKE FOR INSTANCE THE EARTH 
GOING THROUGH A CYCLE WHICH MEANS THE WEATHER AND TEMPS CHANGE?!!!  I mean, 
I remember hearing stories of the 1930's when the dust bowels were so bad, 
whole areas of the country literally blew away.  And of summers that were so 
hot, eggs could be cooked on the sidewalk.  Or winters that were so bitter 
and snow so deep you could freeze milk in less than 5 minutes or ski 20ft. 
off the sidewalk.  GET REAL!!!

Sheesh - like has been said "Everyone complains about the weather but no one 
can do a damn thing about it."

And before my stuff is landed in the middle of, yes, we need to conserve and 
yes, we need to switch to something else other than fossil fuels.  I just 
think the first and most important issue is that we need to chill out a 
little and get a grip!  What we are going through is nothing new and will 
continue if the population were to suddenly expire all at once or not.

And why not leave Gore alone?  If Clinton can "smoke and not inhale" or not 
"have sex" when in fact he did and STILL get the job done - who cares!? what 
Gore is/isn't doing?  Does it take money out of your pocket?  Is it hurting 
your future?  Is it impacting your present?  Since the answer to those 
questions is a resounding "NO!" - lay off the guy already.  Jeez.
