Gary,<BR><BR>You're the only one who makes such sweeping statements, though you're generous enough to attribute them to others, even if they don't want them. I certainly don't take the positions you want to ascribe to liberals; no thanks, you can have them back.<BR><BR>I will say that I am suspicious of 'scientific' claims embraced by this administration, because of their track record of having political appointees tell scientists what to say. But that's not liberal bias; that's simply how most people operate: If someone lies to you, you're careful not to take what they say next at face value. I'm sure you do this regularly. I do it with the Clintons, I absolutely do it with this administration.<BR><BR>Sunil<BR><BR>> From: jampot@roadrunner.com<BR>> To: krfp@radiofreemoscow.org; vision2020@moscow.com<BR>> Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 07:15:44 -0800<BR>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Attendees At UN Climate Conference Pay ForConference Associated CO2 Emissions<BR>> <BR>> Interesting response. So everything that comes from a site with a .gov <BR>> address is propaganda? The folks at weather.gov, grants. gov, health.gov, <BR>> sba.gov, fbi.gov, irs.gov, idaho.gov, etc. are going to be surprised and <BR>> disappointed to hear that. Quite frankly I would be a lot more suspicious of <BR>> information that came from a .org address. You have just GOT to know that <BR>> there will be an agenda associated with anything they have to tell you.<BR>> <BR>> Next we have the ever popular "anyone who has ever been, worked for, or been <BR>> in the presence of a conservative is, by definition, a lying rat bastard." <BR>> We all know that only liberals (and even then, only those who work for <BR>> MSNBC) can be trusted to bring us the unvarnished truth.<BR>> <BR>> Moving on, the my scientist is better then your scientist argument is <BR>> brought forward. I'm sorry but here is nothing that leads me to believe that <BR>> Schmidt, Harrison, and Monbiot (a journalist, not a scientist) have more <BR>> access to the truth than Monckton, Evans, Gray, McShane, and Alexander. I <BR>> don't see where a persons opinion with regard to those with AIDS or whether <BR>> you personally think someone's a nice guy has anything to do with the <BR>> accuracy of their claims.<BR>> <BR>> You are absolutely correct in one area however. Nothing you have posted has <BR>> changed my mind and I will continue to enjoy driving my car. Are you <BR>> implying that YOU will be forsaking all carbon generating forms of travel or <BR>> just that you will continue to do it with a big old mopey face? I was <BR>> unaware that doing the exact same things that us nasty old conservatives do <BR>> but being unhappy about it was better for the environment.
