Why are you hanging out in the ladies room, Jon? :^)

sheesh, Jon...first you tell us you know a woman who came after you with
a
frying pan now you're telling us about women trying to control your
mind...maybe you're looking for them in the wrong places?????

Why? I like to keep my reflexes sharp.

Yeah, I guess the same can be said of the theory of evolution. When the
preponderance of scientists come to consensus, we should definitely ignore
them.

Think for yourself is what I said. I didn't say discount anything because it
is a consensus. Judge things on the evidence, not opinion.

Where was the consensus?

People who rely on consensus - other people's opinions - usually cannot
think for themselves.

Instead rely on basic physical laws and measurable, repeatable
experiments reduced to the fundamentals.

11th order unstable computer models are for mystics.

The brain - man's second most favorite organ - is a wonderful thing. Make
the choice to use it. Frequently!

"Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new
roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but
they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the
vision unborrowed, and the response they recieved-hatred. The great
creators-the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors-stood
alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed.
Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered
foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was
considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of
unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid.
But they won." Ayn Rand

With benefits... :-)

This is what you said: "People who rely on consensus - other people's
opinions - usually cannot
think for themselves."

So, in fact, you did discount relying on the consensus of others.

How do you propose getting the facts of a huge issue such as GW or evolution
without relying on the consensus of scientists????

But of course. You live in the Bay Area, after all.

I believe that a well-flung frying pan across the parietal lobes qualifies
as "mind control."

The same way those scientists get the facts. Someone has to get facts and do
analysis. Admittedly I do not get many of the facts first hand, I read
published studies. I have a good liberal education that emphasized critical
thinking skills. It appears you are treating these issues as a religion -
you accept things on faith and when facts don't add up you regurgitate the
dogma.

The current dogma is that global warming will trigger an ice age. How is
adding heat to a system going to cool it down? How does smokling cause
global warming? How did global warming occur before man existed, or do you
believe the earth is only 2,000 years old? Look at it, there isn't much
difference between a right wing wacko religious nut and an eco-nut.
