Too much Youtube.

How about quoting Jack Chick Comics for a change of pace?

How bout actually watching it and giving actual intellectual responses instead of simply personally attacking people?
Might actually learn something.

K vs R's....

So you fully embrace Richard Dawkin's use of concepts from evolutionary biology to explain and understand human culture? Because a conservative dude you like used them? Well, that's a surprise.

There are strains of truth in everything and everyone....

Richard Dawkins is utterly wrong concerning religion, but not many other things.

----

Did you know that I believe every city should be required to have recycling plants, that nothing is any longer "thrown away"?
Did you know that I believe every product made (save some necessary exceptions) should be recyclable?
Did you know that I believe every city should enact building codes that require new homes and major renovations to impliment solar and wind tech, to be fully self-sufficient, including other tech such as tankless water heaters, etc. etc.?

There are many other things I could mention that people might claim are "liberal" views, but they in fact are not, they are conservative.
Conservatives, preserve, protect, are wise stewards, Boy Scouts, etc. Some things will naturally come like I mentioned and others, some require real leadership to enact the necessary laws.

As strong of a conservative as I am, you all have no idea how much liberals would like me if they know all I believe and want to do.

Yes, thank You. I have no such time.
As a text, I would read it in ten minute. I could, really.

Instead, I will watch Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake - The Kirov Ballet.

what causes?
1 dependence upon a particular resource which runs out
2 two much focus on unproductive war expenditures
3 lust for empire which expands beyond functionality
4 being overrun by invading empires.

Any one will suffice. Our civilization will destruct by way of number one as our energy supplies deplete. It wont be right away.


See no reason to listen to a long angry presentation with no ideas interesting enough for Faqs to bother to express.
