Saw it last weekend. It's very funny and Mila Kunis is HOT!

It's amazing that all of these space images are the past. What we are seeing may look different today and the image is millions of years old.

Karl Rove is that you? Bush played dress-up and announced victory. We and our 1 combat ally failed from the beginning of the war. Bush and Co. fired every general that said we would need more troops, that it would cost a ton of money, and that it wasn't going to be easy. We lied about the intelligence and our ally knew that but went along for the ride. We "Bush Haters" as you call us want the US to be safe, secure, and see war as something that shouldn't be used for some political ideological experiment, which is what the Iraq war is. If you honestly think that those that don't agree with this war hate America then you are pretty ignorant about the other side.

McCain says he wanted the ads pulled but made no phone calls to the NC party to have them pulled. He also tried to equate Obama as the Hamas and North Korea candidate. So much for the "classy" election from flip-flop McSame.

The population before Europeans was in the hundreds of thousands to a couple million along the river. A Spanish explorer wrote about villages along the Amazon running continuously for hundreds of miles. The point is that there are ways of farming and using the rain forest that doesn't need to be as harmful. Cutting down the African and Amazon rainforests are cutting down huge supplies of oxygen and huge carbon sinks.

We can make ethanol out of the silage from corn. Also, cattle will eat the left overs from ethanol distillation. A very large portion of the corn we grow goes to cattle and if they'll eat the leftovers from ethanol production then there is less of a problem. The real bio-fuels IMO are going to come from switch grass and waste from cooking oil and the like. Farmers in areas that grow a lot of tobacco could switch to switch grass and not have to worry about the labor expenses and falling price of tobacco.

Short answer is no. It takes millions of years to make coal/oil. Basically an ocean needs to be buried and cooked at the right temperature and pressure.

:thumb: Something that Brazilians can learn is responsible agriculture that the Native Americans practiced in the Amazon. Before Europeans came, the Amazon river was densely populated along the banks of the rivers. The Natives developed a method of farming called Black Earth that made the soil better. It is one of the reasons the forest is so lush today. If they could figure out how the natives were able to live in relative harmony with the forest then maybe they could do something about it.

There were millions of buffalo that the Native Americans relied on for food and their entire way of life and b/c of their near extinction countless Native Americans died. Thousands have died b/c of environmental damage and around the world millions are dying of things that are results of environmental damage. We overfish, over-cut, and over-consume. With each species of plant and animal that dies off we lose something that could cure disease or benefit the world. We need to work with our neighbors around the world to make the planet a better place. What we do here affects everyone else and vice versa.

I would love to own a Triumph someday. Right now I'm just trying to convince my wife to let me get a scooter.

I am sorry but that is just dead flat wrong. As a justification for this war Bush and Co. tried their best to link Iraq to 9/11 and Al Qaeda.

This war is FAR from WWII. We were attacked and had war declared on us by the Axis. Our allies had been conquered and others were in danger of falling. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, did not attack us, and posed about as much of a threat as Mexico.

When asked policy questions he answers them. He may not have given a good capital gains answer but I've seen him answer policy questions very well. TV-one did a forum with Obama and Clinton in which they were asked policy questions by community leaders. Obama answered every question very well. ABC spent an hour before asking policy questions. "Does Rev. Wright love America?" isn't the kind of question that gets us anywhere in a debate or as a country. That was something I would expect Karl Rove to ask, not a moderator of a debate on a major network.

As an OSU fan I think this is good for the Bucks, but UM needs to get their act together. They wanted Carr gone and Rodriguez was the best guy for the job at the time. What more do they want?

I envy people who can live in cities with real public transportation. I spent a couple weeks in the UK when I was a senior in HS. We took a train everywhere and it was so nice. Gas there is very expensive and people have been living with it for years. The way they deal is to take a train. If you want to take a train from London to any other city (including small ones) you just buy a ticket or a multi-day pass. The subway is even better since it's faster than driving. I read where Cincinnati is going ahead with streetcars. Louisville and Lexington need to look at that as an option and the USA needs to invest in high speed rail like France and Japan. If I could live without a car I would.

I'm thinking about trying this stuff. It's called CA40. I've heard good things about it. http://www.ca40g.com/home.php

Bush never had to make them. He lives elitism. Any family that has a private island compound is elitist (I include the Kennedy's though they've been better public servants).

The guy who was raised by a single mom and had to work hard to get into Harvard on his own merit is more of an elitist than the guy who got into the Naval Academy b/c his father and grandfather were part of the military aristocracy and married a woman with a $100 million + fortune. Yeah that's elitist. The Republican party is the party of elitists. The Bush family alone is an example of that.

We should work with Brazil to teach them how to manage their forests properly. In the US there were once forests as vast as the Amazon but we've cut most of them down. We should help Brazil learn from our mistakes.

Kid gloves? They spent an hour talking about Rev Wright, Flag pins, weather underground, Obama's patriotism, and various other nonsense before asking one policy question. When Fox spends 20 of their 24 unbalanced hours not talking about Wright or Ayers or some other thing to attack Obama I'll believe you. McCain has been getting the love from the media and ABC's debate was embarrassing.

I am lucky enough to be able to walk to work. I've really started to cut back on driving and only drive to work when I need to bring projects in the car that I can't carry. Two things for me to think of for the future. 1. If I can find a job in a city look to live within walking distance of work or live in a city with rail/subways/streetcars 2. Buy a hybrid

I could but it depends on magnitude. I also don't think a major country would attack us in that fashion. There are too many factors to weigh before saying yes or no.

1. Of course they are. Take the Persian Gulf oil spill for instance. It caused huge environmental damage and economic damage, plus it was an act of terrorism. No one wants to talk about global warming but the Pentagon has developed contingency scenarios in for climate change to deal with wars over water, food, and other resources. It is in our best national security interests to be energy independent and environmentally sound in our policies. 2. I don't know really. If a country decided to send a "dirty bomb" over to contaminate one of our cities then I would say military action is justified. Occupation? Depends on the situation. If, for instance, terrorists hijacked and oil tanker and intentionally caused an oil spill in one of our shores, then I am all for sending some troops and bombs to deal with them. It's really a hard thing to answer. It all depends on who, and how much damage they cause I suppose.

If Fla and Mich are brought back and Clinton gets the popular vote then she would have to have Obama as a VP. It would be like Kennedy/Johnson, Regan/Bush, etc. in a long line of people who don't really like each other running on the same ticket. If Fla and Mich have a do-over and Clinton wins then good for her, I can support that. As it stands now they shouldn't be seated.

In 1992 Bill Clinton didn't get the nomination until June with 48 states reporting. At that time he was trailing Bush and Perot for third in the polls. Polls are fickle, just ask this guy.
