Don't most global warming models predict more unusual and unpredictable events An interesting argument--"See, all this cold weather and early snow just further proves that human-generated carbon dioxide is causing global warming." Now who made that argument, not I? And I thought the market for blinders disappeared with the horse-drawn carriage. Dave, stick with jurisprudence, science is not your thing. Cheers Marty |

My local hobby shop doesn't carry this one, though. What sort of glue does it take? Any cool decal options? Doug, It's one of those balsa wood cut to fit models. Use only the finest glues containing terpenes and CFC's. Any decal will work as long as it is green. If it doesn't come out exactly as you want, just add or trim the balsa until it fits. War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Property is theft. Mass is energy. Particles are waves. Predicting the unpredictable. http://www.importanceofphilosophy.co..._Identity.html A is A: Aristotle's Law of Identity Everything that exists has a specific nature. Each entity exists as something in particular and it has characteristics that are a part of what it is. "This leaf is red, solid, dry, rough, and flammable." "This book is white, and has 312 pages." "This coin is round, dense, smooth, and has a picture on it." In all three of these cases we are referring to an entity with a specific identity; the particular type of identity, or the trait discussed, is not important. Their identities include all of their features, not just those mentioned. Identity is the concept that refers to this aspect of existence; the aspect of existing as something in particular, with specific characteristics. An entity without an identity cannot exist because it would be nothing. To exist is to exist as something, and that means to exist with a particular identity. To have an identity means to have a single identity; an object cannot have two identities. A tree cannot be a telephone, and a dog cannot be a cat. Each entity exists as something specific, its identity is particular, and it cannot exist as something else. An entity can have more than one characteristic, but any characteristic it has is a part of its identity. A car can be both blue and red, but not at the same time or not in the same respect. Whatever portion is blue cannot be red at the same time, in the same way. Half the car can be red, and the other half blue. But the whole car can't be both red and blue. These two traits, blue and red, each have single, particular identities. The concept of identity is important because it makes explicit that reality has a definite nature. Since reality has an identity, it is knowable. Since it exists in a particular way, it has no contradictions. |

Good science is the application of observation, measurement and logic. A legal background has the prerequisites to make one good at science. Look at Al Gore. He's a lawyer and former tobacco farmer. He says cigarette smoking is a significant (this word has scientific meaning) contributor to global warming. No eco-wacko refutes him because of his law background. So why is Dave really attacked? hmmm? |

Lloyd Bonifide I think you have to mention either of the two words "nazi" or "Hitler" for Godwin's Law to come into play. Mark E. Williams |
