The debate is far from over

When a lib says, “The debate is over”, it means they’ve either lost the argument and know it, or they don’t want to hear opposing viewpoints.

The kids should have grown up under MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction. :)

Campaigning TV producers might not know much about kids, but they all know one thing: kids scare easily.
Not just kids, kid-like adults, the number of which keeps growing exponentially with each generation. Kids are ignorant. This is not a put-down, it is a reality, a fact.
If this weren't so, 13 years of education would not be pretty much universally mandatory.
But the contents of that education has deteriorated steadily over the last hundred years.
Seen the competency test from the end of the 19th Century lately?
We continue to produce college graduates with the science proficiency of a 12-year-old. Of course they'll fall for science hucksters and demagogues. They don't know better. They freak out and call the hazmat teams for bicarbonate of soda spills, and pay $2000 to "clean up" a room after breaking a new "energy saver" lightbulb....

Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, first published in 1960s, for instance, was the launching pad for the cultural left’s anti-DDT crusade. The result? Millions died because the chattering classes’ fondness for “organic” apples blinded their eyes to Africa’s poverty. Today, however, DDT is back. Africans are, once again, winning the war against malaria. This is good news.
It wasn't just Africa. Many third world people in Latin America and Asia similarly died for lack of the cheap and proven weapon against malaria.
But the ignorant felt good about caring. We're talking adults. And they all vote.

I still continue to believe that stupidity should be a jail-time crime, specially for elected office holders and "public servants".

...To argue that flooding a child’s school, television programs, reading materials, and soul, with apocalyptic visions isn’t psychologically harmful, is to live in denial...

Scaring the children is a deliberate tactic and it works.

Friend's ten year old came home from school, told her mother the world would eventually blow up.

Where did you hear that? mother asked.

We had a lecture from a scientist today. He told us all about the greenhouse effect and global warming and how, if we don't stop polluting the planet it will get so hot we will all die...and then the whole world will blow up.

(I can see it now. There will be an Office For the Establishment of a Sustainable Population to which the little darlings can report their wastefull parents...and have them rounded up ... Turn the children into enemies of the parents and control the planet!)

it's soooo Stalin.

Yes. Exactly so, Fred! ...and isn't that what it's all about, after all... 'control'...?

[hinckley buzzard]

Leftists are quite content to traumatize their own children. They did it wholesale during the eighties with the threat of nuclear holocaust and efforts to demonize President Reagan. Some bragged about how their little kid would have anxiety attacks when he saw a newsclip of a missile or space shot on TV.

One more manifestation of the inarguable fact that liberals are hostile nasty people who under the thin cover of sanctimony will even hurt their young.

James T. Kirk dropped by to check on that 20 feet of water algore insists will soon cover New York City -


[see slideshow]


Two new audios for that webpage now

[potlatch]

I just looked at the P page link of the above graphic and heard the “Somewhere” music. Lovely!

The other slideshow link is very slow moving devolve, many many seconds long for each and then the ST music on the final page.

[devolve]

That other link is 3 webpages

It does take longer

The 3nd has lots of frames

- 2001 .midi

- Captain Kirk - Star Trek TV Intro .wav

- A Star Trek .midi (now) I believe

3rd page auto-redirects back to my profile page after about 4 minutes

Lol, a long time. Wonder how long it takes to get on my profile page with 56K dial up? I think I saw in the analyzer that it was close to 4 minutes!!

[potlatch]

Thanks Seadog. My eyes must be 'going' from all the painting but I had to lighten it to read the bottom, lol.

[potlatch]

Yikes!! That poor lady!
