<p>We&#8217;ve shown you <a href="http://itodyaso.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/the-look-of-a-discernmentalist/">the look of a discernmentalist</a>. Now we present to you&#8212;with our Absolute Truthiness&#8212;the look of a <a href="http://athousandtongues.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/cool-hip-heretic-rob-bell/">heretic</a>. Now you will be able to tell when a liebral is in your vicinity trying to corrupt your <a href="http://itodyaso.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/komerad-wallis-we-will-bury-you/">Pure Doctrines</a>. Our resident Redneck GOIPer has more to add with his <a href="http://redneckrepublican.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/9-steps-to-identify-liberals/">9 Steps To Identify Liberals</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>I have already stated that liberals are killing this country, but it is quite hard to tell a liberal from a normal God Loving American. I have developed this simple system to help us weed out the good guys from the bad guys (liberals). I call it my Liberal Identification System (LIS).</p>
<p>1. Minorities. Don’t ask me why, but the vast majority of <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">niggers</span>blacks and <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">chinks</span>asians vote Democrat, and therefore they are making their liberal bias known to the rest of the world. I have talked to them, but these people are just plain stupid! They cannot understand for example the greatness of the war in Iraq, and are focused on WMD rather than the larger plan. So point one in the Liberal Identification System is to write off minorities as liberals. They are really not worth our time. After all, there is a reason that the founding fathers made the White House white.</p>
<p>2. French. French people are probably some of the most arrogant and ungrateful people in the world. They would speaking German right now it it were not for us. And how do they pay us back? They defied Saint Bush in the run up for the Iraqi War. It is unbelievable to me that after 5 years after the war began, they still cannot see the wisdom of the war. French people must be blind or stupid, but either way, one thing is clear, they are liberals.</p>
<p>3. People with accents. I just got back from Europe, and they all tried to speak to me in English. Despite their efforts, their English was HORRIBLE. They really need to practice more if they ever want to get in good with me and other conservatives. Plus you know that God speaks English perfectly. Heck, I don’t even think that God can understand some of these retard Europeans.</p>
<p>When I was in the airports in Europe, I noticed one thing right away. You don’t have to remove your shoes at airport security. These people are clueless. Removing our shoes is like a ritual to fight away terrorists and evil. It is a communion against terrorism. Since we have started removing our shoes at the airport, has there been another 9/11? Case closed. I felt like teaching them the American way, but I knew they would never understand. Why? Because they are all liberals.</p>
<p>4. College Professors. This is a special and perhaps the most dangerous breed of liberals because they are educating our young people. That’s the scary part. They devise these wicked curriculums, and the underlying goal is to get young people to think and use logic undermining key Republican and conservative ideals</p>
<p>Think about this. Many of Saint Bush’s economic advisers come from American universities. And these liberals are piping the same old lies. Our economy is in recession, the dollar is weak, the price of oil is rising, and federal spending is out of control. It makes me laugh. We all know the truth. Our economy is strong, the dollar is strong, price of gas is falling, and Saint Bush’s government is the most frugal in the world. There is only one conclusion to make. College professors are liberals.</p>
<p>5. Charities. Is there any doubt that Bill Gates is a liberal? He quits his day job to give away his money to improve world health. This is such a stupid idea I am not sure where to start. If I had that kind of dough, I would stop working so I could have more time to spend it. I really wish that Gates had called me, because I could have found a lot more fun ways to spend his money.</p>
<p>Worse yet. World health? I have already demonstrated that non Americans are liberals. So why in the world would we want to help them? In a subtle way, Gates is aiding the enemy by helping non Americans. Ultimately, Gates will get his punishment, but either way, charities such as these are chock full of bleeding heart liberals. They are probably the worst kind.</p>
<p>6. Non Christians – God doesn’t like non Christians and God does not like liberals either. Don’t you see that the two go together? God sent down his one and only son to save the world, and these non Christians are choosing to ignore God’s generosity. There is only one place for these people in God’s eyes, and in my eyes too.</p>
<p>7. Immigrants. Just another bunch of free loading poor people that don’t speak English. They want us to treat them as equals. HAHAHA. Fat chance, hermano. You guys need to go back to your disgusting little country, enter legally, get a legal American job, learn English, pay taxes, and maybe just maybe, we will treat you with a certain level of respect. Furthermore, any sign that you also might be a liberal, and your butt is out of here. Got that, Pedro?</p>
<p>8. Writers. What does the liberal media consist of? Writers. Lots of them. I know this is a slippery slope, because not all writers are liberals, but almost all of them are. It is a fair bet that if someone is writing a piece and it is not for Fox News, then they are feeding the liberal media machine. If it were not for the liberal media, our soldiers would be home, and the war of terror would be won. The war of terror is a war of emboldenment, and every slimy piece they write further emboldens the enemy. Remember Abu Ghraib? Of course you do, and so do the terrorist. What about Guantanomo Bay? The liberal media keeps on printing this stuff, and we will never win the war on terror, and our children will never be safe.</p>
<p>9. Hollywood. We have a dilemma as conservatives. I like my action movies as much as the next guy, but the people behind these films are liberals with a capital L. I have actually considered boycotting movies but it just isn’t any fun, even though every time I know that I am putting more money in a liberal’s pocket. Why can’t someone come out with some great movies by conservatives? Enough is enough already.</p>
<p>After having traveled Europe, there is one thing that is clear. The world is full of liberals. So this is just a humble beginning at weeding out the good people from the bad. God’s job is much easier figuring out who does to heaven or hell.</p></blockquote>

<p>Recently our GOIP Bot 3000 came across startling <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">mis</span>information about one of our own <a href="http://apprising.org/2009/10/dr-john-macarthur-obama-is-not-a-christian/">Ken Silva</a>.  Quite frankly we are appalled at the <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">mis</span>Truth that our GOIP Bot 3000 has made Light to us that Ken Silva, Defender of the True Faith of <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">his own opinions</span> all is actually a closet <a href="http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/neighbors.php?type=name&#38;lname=Silva&#38;fname=Ken&#38;search=Search">Democrat and Obama Supporter</a>. How could you Ken? Didn&#8217;t you know that giving funds to the Dum-b-o-crapic National Convention and <a href="http://shelleytherepublican.com/2008/10/15/dont-vote-for-terrorism.aspx">Obama bin Laden</a> is evil for:</p>
<blockquote>
<li>A vote for Obama Hussein Bin Laden is a vote for <strong>terrorism</strong>.</li>
<li>A vote for Obama Hussein Bin Laden is a vote for <strong>abortion</strong>.</li>
<li>A vote for Obama Hussein Bin Laden is a vote for <strong>homosexuality</strong>.</li>
</blockquote>
<p>After all <a href="http://5ptsalt.com/2009/10/22/dr-john-macarthur-obama-is-not-a-christian-no-interest-in-christ-god-or-the-bible/">Saint John MacArthur</a> has taught you:</p>

<p>We know what you did and did not do and we know that you did <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">not</span> give money to fund the Democratic National Convention and Obama. We also know that you did <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">not</span> personally hand  $1,680 in funds over to the Anti-Christ Obama in 2008.</p>
<p>Smoking Gun&#8212;GOIP Eye 3&#8212;our all seeing satellite exposes a horrifying photo&#8212;Ken Silva&#8217;s hand is clearly <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">not</span> seen personally giving Obama cold hard cash just last year:</p>

<p>We had the GOIP Eye 3 zoom in on the hands to verify that they are<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">&#8216;nt</span> indeed Ken Silva&#8217;s and Obama&#8217;s. We Know.</p>
<p>Smoking Gun 2 from GOIP Eye 3&#8212;Ken Silva is <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">not</span> clearly seen leaving the scene of the crime with Obama and his agents of the New World Order of Obamanation:</p>

<p>For shame Ken&#8212;we hope you come here to comment and clear up this <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">un</span>Truth and our <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">mis</span>information for we thought you were one of us.

<p>Those evil Emergents have infiltrated the <a href="http://paulglavic.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/where-eemergent-goes-from-here/">YMCA</a> teaching our children impure doctrines like <a href="http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=114309">the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday</a>.

<p>Our GOIP Bot 3000 has just discernmentalized a wonderful list outlining some of our <a href="http://redneckrepublican.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/end-socialism-now/">Master Plan</a>&#8212;here it is:</p>
<ol>
<blockquote>
<li><strong>End Medicaid, Medicare and the VA.</strong> This was a liberal plan to simply redistribute wealth from the rich to the needy. These plans are both expensive and unsustainable and the time is now to cut the plug. If you are elderly or a veteran, then you are on your own. If you have enough wealth, then go get your own health plan. However if you cannot afford a health plan, then consider yourself a leach on society. You are dragging down this great country.</li>
<li><strong>End Public Schools.</strong> Obama just got on television and delivered a message to all the children in public schools in the nation. How wrong is that? The president has no business talking to our children. All he wants to do is spread his liberal agenda to their innocent minds. There is only one solution to all of this. All children should be home schooled. Also the wealthy can send their children to expensive private schools, but the inexpensive public schools are just a burden on society.</li>
<li><strong>End Unemployment Insurance.</strong> Unemployment insurance is just wrong. It is redistribution of wealth in its purest form. I am supposed to give my hard earned tax money to some retard that can’t even hold a job? Give me a break. They can always get a job at McDonald’s or picking up the trash. This is just a way of rewarding laziness, and it needs to come to a full stop, now!</li>
<li><strong>Private Roads.</strong> Where in the constitution does it say that our government is responsible for creating roads? No where. All roads should be private, and the better road the more it should cost. There are plenty of poor people that may not be able to afford to travel on the better roads, and I have one response. Tough crap! Now that you don’t have unemployment insurance, maybe you will have more motivation to finally get a job.</li>
<li><strong>End Air Traffic Control.</strong> Do we really need our government controlling our air ways? The entire system is probably corrupt, and should be eliminated. Liberals will argue that air traffic control makes air travel safer. How stupid! All it does it drives up the cost. We need to make air travel more affordable and the first step is eliminating air traffic control.</li>
<li><strong>Burn Down All The Libraries.</strong> I know one thing for sure. Libraries would not exist if not for liberals. Now that Obama’s approval ratings are falling off a cliff, let’s get rid of one of the bastions of liberalism, libraries. That will show them. If people want to read, then they can buy their own books. Why can’t liberals understand that simple fact?</li>
<li><strong>No More Taxes.</strong> The beautiful part of my plan is that we no longer need to pay taxes. Even some good conservative people like to read a good book once in a while, but is it really worth our freedom? I for one am going to stop paying taxes immediately and then hopefully the Chosen One, Barack Hussein Obama, will follow my simple plan to eliminate socialism in our lifetime. I encourage all my readers to stop paying taxes as a protest to socialism.</li>
</blockquote>

<p>We  would also like to add in outlawing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_school">Sunday School</a> as Sunday School is a <a href="http://willfarelxv.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/the-commies-are-coming/">communist plot</a> to decieve God&#8217;s True Elect into accepting socialism&#8212;for Sunday School was invented by &#8216;<a title="Robert Raikes" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Raikes">Robert Raikes</a>, editor of the <em>Gloucester Journal and (a theological liebral)</em>, who saw the need to prevent children in the slums descending into crime.&#8217;  This is nothing but <a href="http://apprising.org/2009/11/the-gospel-less-gospel-of-rob-bell/">the false gospel of socialism </a>and &#8216;that old line of liberalism&#8217; otherwise known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Gospel">Social Gospel</a> as Saint John MacArthur clearly exposes:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/dZgh54sfVZ0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/dZgh54sfVZ0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>We also plan on making Fundamentalist Calvinistic Christianity the only legalized religion and <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090912232933AA3ZweK">all others illegal</a>.</p></blockquote>

<p>From the very start, Walt Disney tried to “normalize” miscegenation, mor(m)onism and bestial pedophilia so I guess it was just a matter of time before his company hired a homo activist to run the whole company.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Emily Brand, a recent law grad, published &#8220;The Struggle to Exercise a Treaty Right: An Analysis of the Makah Tribe&#8217;s Path to Whale,&#8221; in <a href="http://environs.law.ucdavis.edu/">Environs</a>, a law journal from UC Davis. An excerpt from the intro:</p>
<blockquote><p>At the heart of this conflict are the actors who are all trying to do what they think is right. The animal rights activists want to participate in the administrative system to ensure marine mammal protection, the Makah Tribe wants to exercise its treaty right to continue focal cultural and religious traditions, and NOAA wants to fulfill its administrative duty, including its fiduciary duty under the Neah Bay Treaty. Unfortunately, the combination of good intentions created a momentum that is no longer controllable by any one party and left the Makah with an indefinitely suspended treaty right.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>The Tribe now faces a complex legal road, juggling the administrative action, the criminal case, and an imminent civil suit. The Tribe must act carefully in managing its actions and arguments so as not to foreclose any way to exercise its treaty right. The Makah have three main avenues of action: 1) follow the administrative agency MMPA waiver process defined by Anderson v. Evans; 2) re-assert issues from Anderson in criminal court; or 3) re-visit Anderson&#8217;s challenges after NOAA&#8217;s waiver determination in a civil suit. Each path involves a different strategy and risk. However, all paths lead to the Ninth Circuit and ultimately the Supreme Court, the only place where this issue could finally be put the rest.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Good morning everyone.  I use to remember when I was still small, I love to play with my friends and we love to light a candle. We want to light it so that we will have a good light so that we can play well.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“One candle lights one candle, two candles light four . . . And where they shine, there is no darkness anymore.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When we were little children, we would wish upon the first star we see at dust.  We couldn’t help but get awed as tiny flickers in the infinite sky started to inhabit the cloudless dark space above us.  As we grew older, we learned more about the celestial bodies residing in the universe—the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars—yet the mysteries of the cosmos continue to baffle us ever to this day.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Even the experts called cosmologists are puzzled not only by the hugeness of the universe but also by the information that may just be lurking in the dark, or even lighted, areas of the immense outer space.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For many years, scientists believe that after the Big Bang, the universe will collapse with a “big crunch” due to the pull of gravity.  It’s like pulling a rubber band in all directions, and the rubber band snaps back when the limit has been reached.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Recent scientific fingers, however, suggest that contrary to earlier belief—that the expansion of the universe slows down before it finally collapses—the universe is in fact expanding at a faster rate.  In their quest for answers, scientists focused their attention to the stars and their environs. &#8211; Bato Balani</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Geyzing, located at a distance of 117 km from Gangtok, is the most <a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/populated">populated</a> area of the western region in Sikkim.</p>
<p>Geyzing also called as Gyalshing, has the essence of natural beauty in its environs. It is directly connected from places like <a href="http://www.holidayiq.com/destinations/Darjeeling-Overview.html">Darjeeling</a> and Kalimpong via Jorethang.</p>
<p>Geyzing is at an <a href="http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/altitude">altitude</a> of 6,500 feet (1,900 m) and is an ideal place for trekkers. The temperate climate promises many explorers, mountaineers and trekkers who take part in the Geyzing Himalayan expeditions.</p>
<p>People who like to visit this abode of natural beauty can travel by bus, <a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/302231/jeep">jeep</a> or by private taxis available from nearby destinations of Sikkim. Its main attractions, other than trekking up to Dzongri at the base of the Kanchenjunga, are the two old monasteries of Pemayangtse and Tashiding.</p>

<b>Japan to give full support to Green New Deal: next-gen cars, etc</b><br />
&#160;&#160;&#160; It became clear on the 23rd that the Japanese government has proposed and will agree to give full support to the Obama administration’s “Green New Deal” plan, which will put an emphasis on investment in the environmental field, at the Japan-America top-level talks opened in Washington on the 24th.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;What PM Aso is proposing is a “Japan-America energy and environmental technology collaboration,” which would have four fields including the popularization of next-generation vehicles and low-carbon technologies, and it would affirm that Japan and America go on leading the world in these fields. In order for the countries to work together and deal with global scale issues like the world economy and the environmental problem, establishing a new framework to be set up for “Japan-America dialogue” is being considered.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;Japan-America cooperation in the field of energy and the environment will have four pillars: (1) plans to popularize next-generation vehicles such as plug-in hybrid vehicles that can be charged using household electricity and electric cars, (2) innovative low-carbon technologies that will allow the drastic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, (3) expansion of the market for energy-efficient and new-energy products, and (4) the peaceful use of nuclear power.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;Specifically, in order to popularize next-generation vehicles, in addition to considering standardization for Japan and America on safety and standard plugs for high-speed charging, they will carry out actual cooperative works for improvement of the infrastructure.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;For innovative low-carbon technologies, Japan and America’s research institutes will collaboratively undertake research and development into fixed technologies such as burying the CO2 emissions from factories in the ground and fuel cells and high-powered solar batteries. Energy-efficient technologies will aim for global development through model practices. The peaceful use of nuclear energy has the aim of having a Japan-America joint prevention of nuclear proliferation in emerging countries that are moving forward with the introduction of nuclear power generation.</p>

<p><b>直訳 (literal translation)<br />
<b>Japan to give full support to Green New Deal: next-gen cars, etc</b><br />
&#160;&#160;&#160; It became clear on the 23rd that the Japanese government has proposed and will agree to give full support to the Obama administration’s “Green New Deal” plan, which will put an emphasis on investment in the environmental field, at the Japan-America top-level talks opened in Washington on the 24th.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;What PM Aso is proposing is a “Japan-America energy and environmental technology collaboration,” which would have four fields including the popularization of next-generation vehicles and low-carbon technologies, and it would affirm that Japan and America go on leading the world in these fields. In order for the countries to work together and deal with global scale issues like the world economy and the environmental problem, establishing a new framework to be set up for “Japan-America dialogue” is being considered.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;Japan-America cooperation in the field of energy and the environment will have four pillars: (1) plans to popularize next-generation vehicles such as plug-in hybrid vehicles that can be charged using household electricity and electric cars, (2) innovative low-carbon technologies that will allow the drastic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, (3) expansion of the market for energy-efficient and new-energy products, and (4) the peaceful use of nuclear power.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;Specifically, in order to popularize next-generation vehicles, in addition to considering standardization for Japan and America on safety and standard plugs for high-speed charging, they will carry out actual cooperative works for improvement of the infrastructure.<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;For innovative low-carbon technologies, Japan and America’s research institutes will collaboratively undertake research and development into fixed technologies such as burying the CO2 emissions from factories in the ground and fuel cells and high-powered solar batteries. Energy-efficient technologies will aim for global development through model practices. The peaceful use of nuclear energy has the aim of having a Japan-America joint prevention of nuclear proliferation in emerging countries that are moving forward with the introduction of nuclear power generation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I carried a bag of trash around for 24 hours. I&#8217;ve never been as intimate with my waste before, but at the same time I felt very disconnected.</p>
<p>Today was a bad day for trash , and this was due to the relative &#8220;convenience&#8221; of my waste. With sympathy towards <a href="http://mediaenvironment.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/time-to-take-out-the-trash/">Bobby&#8217;s </a>post, I just didn&#8217;t have time to create a healthy lunch for myself, and had to resort to getting mysterious food from <a href="http://www.union.ku.edu/underground.shtml">The Underground</a> .</p>
<p>Some say ignorance is bliss, and sometimes I wish I could resort to that lifestyle.  Before every action or decision I make, my mind initiates a long list of questions. Where did this come from? What is in this? How did it get here ? Who made this? Where will the unusable parts or trash go when I am through with this? The list goes on and on, and it can make life quite difficult and can make my conscience go nuts, but it is the consequence (and benefit to everything else) of my awareness.<br />
Walking into the Underground made me really uncomfortable. It&#8217;s crowded, its noisy and everyone is flirting. I feel like my decision on what food to get and eat are being observed by everyone, and the notion of taking a huge Styrofoam plate for my salad makes me want to succumb to my empty stomach and run home for food.</p>
<p>What really is the convenience of these disposables?  Not only does it wreck havoc on my conscience, but using disposable take out containers <a href="http://www.cawrecycles.org/issues/eps_environmental_effects">make up a large majority of waste</a> and <a href="http://people.howstuffworks.com/landfill7.htm">no where</a> to put it.</p>
<p>Apart from my guilty consumption last night, I was also attending an “internationally themed” potluck for <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/KUenvirons?hl=en">Environs</a>, which meant for me, making about 40 delicious Vietnamese spring rolls. This lead to a disproportionate amount of personal trash, because I was cooking for about 25 people.</p>
<p>This waste from my cooking excursion included, plastic packaging for noodles, rice paper and tofu, as well as a lot of organic waste from preparing carrots, cucumbers, lettuce and herbs.</p>
<p>To offset my already abundant waste for the day, I knew I could do something with the peels and bits and pieces of unused vegetables. I unfortunately have no backyard and no garden, so <a href="http://www.compostguide.com/">composting</a> was out of the question for me. Instead, I decided to save up these bits and pieces for a future <a href="http://www.epicureantable.com/articles/abrothday.htm">vegetable stock!</a> I bagged up the excess veggies, and threw them in a (plastic) bag and stored them in the freezer.</p>
<p>I felt a little better about diverting some waste, but it still makes me cringe to think of all the Styrofoam waste that the university and faculty and students partake in. When will <a href="http://www.ku.edu/">KU</a> wake up and become sustainable and <a href="http://www.union.ku.edu/dining.shtml">KU Dining</a> start using biodegradable disposables?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>What is obvious is that there is a major agenda that wishes to end capitalism.  Using the word &#8220;environmentalism&#8221; to disguise their true intentions.  Trust me, most of these major organizations do not care about our environment, but care more about their political beliefs.</p>
<p>I came across this article trying to find a different perspective on the popular theory of global warming.  With most believing that man are the root cause of environmental catastrophe, Ben Love Joy dares to counter them with some hard facts and resources.  This well written article should be read by anyone concerned with our environment.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a teaser:</p>
<blockquote><p>Imagine the strident tones of &#8216;environmental groups&#8217; if the Earth&#8217;s temperature were to increase not by 0.7C or 1.4C in 100 years, but by between 3C and 5C in just 20 years!</p>
<p>They would want planes grounded, cars banned, hairspray production stopped &#8230;</p>
<p>Well, NASA reports that gas-content measurements of the Greenland ice cores show that exactly that rate of increase occured. Approximately 200,000 years ago. So, uh, probably not due to me doing a few extra laps of the Nurburgring, then &#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>He has inspired me to listen to the next Sierra Club member that stops over to proselytize.  I want to see how long it takes them to start bringing politics into it (poor misguided soul).</p>
<p>So <a href="http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/benlovejoy/opinions/globalwarming/">click here</a> to affirm your current opinion or to open your mind to a different thought.</p>
