Let's just, for the sake of argument, say that the Iraq War was an unneeded and wasteful expense.

Now, that being said, how does one wasteful expense (Iraq) justify another (Kyoto)?

Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that Kyoto isn't a waste of money.

So, after all of this, there is no need for all of the "eco-taxes"?:yeah:

I think we should really stop posting these threads.

No one is convincing anyone, and it usually turns into a slugfest between people with existing animosity.

Let's then just say, for the sake of argument, that Iraq isn't a waste of money.

See how your logic (comparing Iraq to Kyoto) can go around in circles? I thought my first post would have illustrated that but alas...

Except Iraq was useless unless you are in love with Iran gaining that much free power.

*Sigh*

The point isn't about Iraq or Kyoto ... it is that the usefulness of each are highly debatable, and therefore one cannot be used to justify the other.

This really can't be THAT hard... :doh:

Right. It has nothing to do with the fact that no honest person really has a clue on how to provide all the energy if we would shut down all those plants that are still running now tomorrow. It's the evil industry that stops good people like you from doing that...OK.

Instead of focussing on propaganda BS like "they want to take our money, it is a conspiracy directed at the US...they'll come get us! :88) " you may want to inform yourself on the issues outside FOX News.
You may want to inform yourself outside SPON and state sponsored television.
