Check out the move athttp://www.thecartelmovie.com/... this guy was on Stossell last night and made a number of terrific points - backed with data. Maybe, just maybe, the curtain is being pulled away from the teaching profession.

Thank you for your comment. This forum is dedicated to dialog, no matter how banal or trite.

Your reference to "The mighty 'Prometheus' vowing to 'hold the president to his word', was taken as referring to a pretension that was not intended. Consequently, I have changed the language in the post to reflect your observation and thank you for pointing it out.

As for your metaphor, I can not comment on its relevance to this issue, as I could only think of the Jim Jones Kool-aid simile. In consideration of your good health and continued contribution to this blog, I would suggest you be careful on your choice of beverage.

And last, to be helpful, your overall comment is not supported by any ad hominum argument. Your point (if there was one) would be better supported if you offered a reasonable argument that any statement made in the post that was not factual.

I think the best digg theme would be "Poltical Opinion". Thanks for the comment.

A few more tidbits have been added to the Pork list. Thanks to Cogito readers.

D - Well said about Gore. But know this - climate change and global warming was never about effecting climate change - (does anyone really believe Sheryl Crow's mission to only use one sheet of toilet paper would actually make a difference?). It has always about using the "environment" to promote social policy. My concern is that the push-back factor has fallen to nothing with Glo-bama. The only reason we have not heard much about "climate change" is the economy is in the tank, and no one wants to hear about spending money on stopping a trend that no longer exists.

Thanks for the comment D. Looking for a place to make a regular contribution?
