crap, i left out part of my barney frank comment. it offends me that he has the gall to go on tv and point the finger at everyone but himself when he had a lot to do with the housing bubble. in a very direct and meaningful way. not that he’s the only one, there’s plenty of blame on both sides of the aisle but he’s such a charming camera whore that it pisses me off more from him. disappointment i guess.
11217,
again, on climate change, the conservative perspective is this: there may be climate change occurring, but as a consequence of natural heating and cooling cycles, not as a consequence of a man-made problem.
The IPCC, international panel for climate control, is full of politics and not entirely trustworthy.
Look up the internal panel of scientists who have signed a petition against the idea of man made global warming. The petition now numbers over 31,000 scientists. It comes out of the University of Oregon.
see my discussion last week about polar ice cap melting and it’s effects on slowing the earth’s rotation, interstellar radiation and costal land subsidence and cummulative hurricane strength over the past decade.
I have a doll house my grandfather made for my mother in 1908 & updated for me in the 40s (t.v. antenna for instance) & that I’m currently wiring for next generation. Also have the early 1900s toys for it as well as mine from the 40s. Looked at prices for the toys – not much.
But my Lionel! Wow! But not the buildings as much.
Sorry, Legion- I really take issue with the idea that Bush “kept this country safe for 7 year.” Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact we haven’t had another major attack is due to a lot of factors, none of them related to Bush. If anything, he has exposed us to further attacks and hatred and his invasion of Iraq was the biggest mistake of his administration.
i know, right? bxgrl? it’s like nobody wants to be held accountable from the highest of politicians to the average citizen. in a way we’re all culpuable. i think barney frank is hilarious but it offends me greatly that he had a LOT to do with the housing affordability issues. or people who don’t vote. aaaaaaaaagh!!!
11217, i appreciate what you’re saying. quite frankly i find the presidential bashing on both sides over the past 15 years or so ill-informed and gross. i’m probably a bit more converative politically than most in NYC but i am totally not down with the ridiculousness of the obama bashing. i think most people find a lot of it offensive regardless of their political affiliation.
I do agree with 11217’s comments though. But when I say Bush, I really mean his administration- Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et at were all involved in the direction this country took- and a disastrous one it was.
the bush years were fun though. the obama years so far are a complete snoresville and kinda lame.
*rob*

then get back to me.

Rob, is the above you?

Yes, 11217, and the sole purpse of the Democrats was to bash Bush when he was President. Cripes.
