Tony,

If you'd just stay away from politics, you'd be pretty cool, but you do post like a douche on these threads. These threads tend to bring out the worst in all of us.

All I've done is debate global warming and the perceived (and hardly proved) causes. Then Doc pulls out the name calling and that makes me the bad guy?

I was referring to how you act on political threads in general, and my point about the political threads bringing out the worst in all of us includes Doc.

No problem. You're right. Political threads (and global warming qualifies because it's being politicized by one side of the spectrum) do bring out the worst in the lefties.

Just kidding ... as he ducks.

After reading through five pages, I can only think this:

I wish that many of the global warming doubters in this country had applied the same amount of skepticism, or any skepticism at all, to other issues -- say, the Bush Administration's claims of Iraq's weapons capability and its ties to Al Qaeda.

So, the 95 percent of the scientific community that agrees with Al Gore "has an agenda."

Hmmm. Hans Blix and Scott Ritter were said to have an agenda, too.

We believe Al Gore, and the worst that happens is that we have cleaner air, cleaner water, and, just maybe, we don't have to rely on Middle Eastern oil like Lindsey Lohan relies on Jack Daniels.

We believe the other side of the spectrum and . . . well, we've seen what can happen, haven't we?

To me, this reads pretty intelligently. As I've taken an active role in greening my newsroom, I've acknowledged the one percent of all scientists that say global warming is bunk, thus it's not a consensus threat. Be that as it may, I still think it's a good idea to not throw everything away, to recycle what we can recycle. It's not difficult, it costs nearly nothing and it will help the earth regardless of your stance on global warming. I won't browbeat anyone about it or any other choice you might make, just let this serve as a subtle reminder.

Please. Thank you. You may now return to the usual political grudgery.
