If I have to be stuck in a movie, I would prefer it to be something starring Brad Pitt, thank you very much!

I am really not interested in experiencing The Day After Tomorrow personally, thank you very much!

Climate expert in war of words on warming
Chief U.N. scientist says ‘no question’ phenomenon is real and dangerous

“The science says you’ve got to reduce emissions,” Rajendra K. Pachauri, chairman of a U.N.-sponsored network of climatologists, told The Associated Press in an interview midway through a two-week international climate conference.

The Kyoto Protocol, the international accord requiring cuts in carbon dioxide, “is driven by the need to reduce emissions, and on that there is no question,” he said.

The United States is a member of the umbrella U.N. treaty on climate change, and it signed that treaty’s Kyoto Protocol in 1997. But President Bush renounced the agreement in 2001, saying emission reductions would hurt the U.S. economy."

Um. Won't us all being dead hurt the economy?

Before leaving for the annual climate-treaty talks, U.S. negotiator Harlan Watson told reporters in Washington that the United States — the world’s biggest emitter of carbon dioxide — would eventually stop the growth in its emissions “as the science justifies.” After arriving here, he said the Kyoto Protocol’s approach was “not based on science.”

Doesn't any one care that, although we are not even close to being the largest country in the world, we are it's biggest polluter? Gah. If it's not based on science, what is it based on? I mean, if the temperature is rising each year, it's pretty hard to argue with, you know, actual fact. Of course, these are the people that argue evolution is just a "theory" and a test from God to seperate the true believers from the idiots that like all that sciene junk. I guess Jesus should have remembered to talk about taking care of the earth instead of all that stuff about gays being evil and sex being bad.

Maybe we should actually try helping for a change

Officials warned of concerns about AIDS drug
But U.S. sent medication to Africa anyway, documents show

Weeks before President Bush announced a plan to protect African babies from AIDS, top U.S. health officials were warned that research on the key drug was flawed and may have underreported thousands of severe reactions including deaths, government documents show...the National Institutes of Health, the government’s premiere health research agency, chose not to inform the White House as it scrambled to keep its experts’ concerns from scuttling the use of nevirapine in Africa as a cheap solution, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

See? This is what happens when you set up your goverment to punish people who tell the president what he doesn't want to hear. People STOP telling the truth. If the president wants a cheap solution to AIDS in Africa, that is what he gets. Even if it is an impossibility. It's bad enough that we are over there preaching ABSTINENCE and refusing to give money to organizations who dare hand out condoms, but now we are trying to find the cheap and easy route, consequences be damned.

It makes me sick. We talk about bringing freedom and all we bring is death. We talk about helping and all we do is harm.

This is your country. This is your country on BushCo.
