Biden has always been a shill for the M.A.F.I.A.A. More people need to realise this.

The whole problem is that men that usually get into positions of power 
aren't really too bright. They get a bunch of "advisors" to do their 
thinking for them - usually captains of industry. They follow the 
wintroll rule of usefulness on this one - if one hasn't made $billions 
then their opinion isn't useful. That's not to mention the backhanders 
the lobbyists dole out. Which all adds up to policymaking that suits 
industry and not society as a whole.

Actually, they usually are bright enough to get people to put them
there. Typical COLA whining about the stupidity of others : as if it
somehow indicates that their own lowly basemetn dwelling location is a
sign of their genius ....

Whoever said that? More lies from Phil Da Freetard.

Yes, it all sounds well and good but meanwhile in the real world in a
democratic nation you can change things. People will always be out for
what they can get : look at Peter and Chris programming Windows for
example while whining that MS are evil. Look at Roy making money from
advertising Windows SW on his spam sites.

More Quirkiness. Tell that to the majority of people in the UK who 
wanted a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Or the majority that want 
capital punishmment back. Or the majority that want MPs locked up for 
fiddling. Or the majority that want speed cameras abolished. Or the 
majority that want tougher immigration controls. etc etc etc etc.

Change things my arse. Elections are very carefully fought on one or two 
  key issues with very little to choose between the major parties. 
Meanwhile, the big money men just lobby [bribe] the shit out of anyone 
with a shot at getting into power and win regardless. Anyone who thinks 
their vote actually counts for anything is living in cloud cuckoo land.

The money *is* god to these people. Did you see them squirming on TV 
last night about the copenhagen deal? Sickening. The best bit was the 
program on the beeb late last night presented by Iain Stewart looking 
into climate change doubters. On one level it was hilarious. It was also 
noticeable that virtually every one of the "doubters" was loaded.

Convenient truth of cash piles. They probably paid for the protesters
against Copenhagen too (like the insurance companies versus healthcare reform).

I'm a doubter (or, as Algore calls me, a dinaher). I'm not loaded. In
either sense of the word.

It's easy to select characteristics of the people used to present a
certain stereotype. It's also easy to take the interviews/discussions
and cut out whatever doesn't fit the pattern the broadcast is trying to
create.

I'm not claiming they did that. But if they didn't they're probably the
first in broadcast history.

Me too. Although I do accept two facts as concrete: 1 - the world *is* 
getting hotter and 2 - it *is* down to carbon dioxide. You only have to 
look at photos of glaciers and icecaps for the last 50 years to prove 
point 1 and the graphs comparing carbon atmospheric content and 
temperature climb fit like a jigsaw to prove point 2.

However, whether its "all down to industry" is where I have my problem 
with it. I remember about 25 years ago sitting in a class in middle 
school and being taught about the wonderful oxygen cycle (animals 
breathe in oxygen, breathe out carbon dioxide, plants breathe in carbon 
dioxide and breathe out oxygen - net effect: animals produce carbon, 
plants absorb it and take it into the ground when they die). I remember 
my teacher banging on about how it's wonderfully in balance and that's 
what makes life possible. I remember thinking *then* that that was a 
load - it couldn't possibly be in balance. Reason? Simple - the human 
population has gone from a few hundred million to just under 7 billion 
in less than 3 centuries. That's almost a 20 fold increase. Our 
livestock animals have also had a massive population explosion. Other 
animal life seems about the same. In order for the oxygen cycle to still 
be in balance there would have had to be a comparable increase in the 
plant population. If anything thanks to deforestation in the last few 
hundred years the plant population has gone down. Net effect? More 
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Fact is we could take industrial 
emissions down to zero and it wouldn't stop this trend. If a snot nosed 
12 year old version of me could figure that out you can bet your arse 
that those really in charge can join the dots. So what gives? Cast your 
mind back about 6 years. The big news in the UK was the pensions black 
hole and Gordon Brown (then chancellor) was trying to come up with new 
taxes to plug the gap. You can just imagine it can't you - some aide 
running in telling him to switch Sky News on quick. And lo and behold 
there they were - the climate protestors demanding new green taxes. El 
Gordo must have jizzed his pants right then and there. Fact is the only 
way to get the carbon content of the atmosphere down is to start 
landfilling carbon. I know it, they know it. They're just too busy 
clobbering the crap out of Joe Average with their new green taxes. As usual.

Indeed, the bandwagon is gaining steam all the time.
