The right may own it but the left controls it.
Left, Right- both sides have their hands so deep in each other's pockets it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to blame one "side" for general public ignorance.

The politics of climate change aside, I think you're even more deluded if you think that the "Left" controls the media in this country...

I was refering to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_sun_stone (This seems to be reproduced in many images associated with the 2012 end of the world senarios.) Anyways, I'm just being facetious. I find all these apocalyptic set-ups ridiculous. I can't pass up any chances to mess-up anyones con...

FOR THE SECOND TIME, IT'S NOT THE MAYANS, IT'S AZTEC.

It's all a bunch of psuedo-scientific BS. The calendar isn't even Mayan, it's Aztec. On the matter of the Galactic Alignment, and the works of theorists like Arguelles, Pinchbeck, and Jenkins, who attempt to link the Mayan Long Count with alignment of the Milky Way and the solar system, Anthony Aven...

On a sidenote, would this position supercede Nebel's in authority?

As for the pessimists, they aren't reading their history correctly. The "Dark Ages" following Rome didn't really alter the quality of life for the vast majority of people who were dirt farmers before and after the fall of Rome. Technologies were largely not "lost" just not employed as much because ...

Fusion Generators, or peak oil and another Great Depression?

Felt like writing this after talking to many of my intelligent friends who think that the world is coming to an end, so to speak. I always end up being the odd man out. I suggest polywell fusion, or even more fission power, and get labeled as a quack or anti-environmental nut. How do other people on...
