Wow. Nice reply Science Chick, the great thread killer! :thumbsup:
I don't really disagree with the science, but I do have my own issues with the politics involved. I've been wanting to get into it a bit (not that it's major), but it would require a post as long as yours and I've been too lazy because I'd have to do research... :VeryScared:

She posted much more info and insightful comments on her two week trip, if you're interested I'll send you the link to her blog.

Happy Memorial Day. I am still thinking about my trip to China in January.

I hope our veterans did not give their lives in vain.
Well it wasn't American entrepreneurs that you can point the finger at. But you can certainly thank liberals for killing the single thing that grew America. The ability to dream of bigger and greater things. All liberals dream about is bigger govt. And like most European socialist sh**holes, the biggest crime you can commit is to want more or to be better than your neighbor.
