[Rhodes22-list] Reply to Bob Keller, Brad, et al....

[Tootle]

Brad,
     Take her to an experienced Vet, maybe a eye vet.  Otherwise, at her
age, she is just an old dog.  Ask Stan about blind old dogs, he has one.

Bob,
     You just waited to land your broadside.  You already have Ron's blood
boiling because he does not agree with your post.  Just wait until Dave,
Mark, and the other liberals on this list read your post.  Ron gets so upset
that he is unwilling to accept the fact that the Senator did not say that
Global Warming is not a problem, only not the problem that the
environmentalist wackos want to paint.  Sure global warming is a problem,
but that is no reason to go to extremes without competent analysis.  I
especially like the reference to grant seekers.  Maybe those grant seekers
would serve the world better by trying to create viable alternatives thru
entrepreneurial efforts.  Or is there socialist viewpoint preventing
individual contribution?  At least Stan has endeavored to create aternative
uses of wind power.  And even Ron uses Stan's environmentally viable
alternative fuel.  

      As to guns causing Global Warming, where is the empirical data to
support such claims?  I guess hunting rabbits in Texas is the cause of
Global Warming?  What about all the farts from the cattle that they raise in
Texas.  That is scientifically documented in some reports.  Too many cows is
a claim of some environmentalist!  What no historical evulation of similar
results of the herds of buffalo long since gone?  
     Half a story can produce the results many want.  Only the truth can
make us free.  Unfortunately some do not want freedom because then they
cannot tell others what to do.  That is Communism and Socialism.
