Shouldn't our "generational mission" be something along the lines of stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS or hunger throughout the world? Instead, Algore is raking in HUGE profits from carbon credits..Wal Mart the latest idiots to buy into this.

Algore writes that we have a generational mission to save our planet. Yet in Bjorn Lomborg's new book "Cool it" the skeptical enviromentalist's guide to global warming,Lomborg systematically dismantles Gore’s argument that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the biggest threat facing mankind, and that humanity must focus all our attention on fighting it.
Let’s begin with Gore’s “generational mission.” Why is it that virtually none of the thousands of generations of humans that have come and gone have had a “mission?” Well, it’s because we’re one of the first generations that hasn’t had to worry about our day-to-day survival. From the dawn of time right up into the 20th century, many if not most people lived in fear of starvation.

Going there this week for the third time. I'm fine with looking like a visitor but I don't want to look "ultra touristy". The obvious wld be not to be loaded up with shopping bags and wearing a camera arround my neck sporting a big t-shirt that says Vegas Rules, but what other things shld I know? Also It's nov. and I know what the weather will be like but what do you locals think about people wearing slippers( flip flops) in the daytime? Do you hardly see that since its not summer time?

So I finally picked music for walking down the isle http://www.last.fm/music/Johann+Pachelbel/_/Canon+in+D+Major

Now my problem is this.... I want to be able to dance at the reception and of course most of my friends and family will too. My soon to be in-laws are extremely old school and I am trying to be respectful to them. I need to find music that has no suggestion to sex... etc. I think that I find one and then one word is ruling it out. I may be able to go in an edit some of the songs but I wanted to see what others could think of. I plan on having all types of music at the wedding however we prefer R&B. I listen mostly to the Christian R&B but wanted to add other things in the mix...that people are used to hearing and love. My soon to be father in law is a pastor and we have invited many of his friends and colleagues.


I have a few of the following songs in mind:

Alicia Keys - No One
Justin Timberlake - Until the end of time
I have to edit some Neyo songs : (

Brief comments:
AL 2B -- purely by stats, Carlos Guillen was the best choice, but Jeter is still good, and carries much more rep.

AL 1B -- brilliant choice. Overlooked in Tampa.

NL SS -- different electorate, but I predict Rollins for NL MVP. (Don't care if I'm wrong.)

NL P -- only real choice, so well done.

Next week, the big awards.

I chose to write a report about outer space because it absolutely enthralls me- the entire idea of cosmology, astrophysics, quantum theories- and I am awed by images of Nebula's, Auroras, Meteors, Comets, Black Holes, Coronas, The Planets, Supernovas, Dwarfs...and ETC.
My problem, is all of it is so fascinating to me, and there's a broad range to choose from, so i'm a bit stuck. I have to open with a statement that encompasses one larger argument. It could be anything though, so does anybody have some good suggestions for a more specific idea I could strive for? It has to be an idea from which I could form some sort question, and my paper would be what I learned to figure out the correct/most accurate answer to it.
I'm aware it will definitely take some time and effort, though, i'd prefer it be something that's not too difficult to understand, and that I could find a fair amount of information on.

Thanks a bunch...!!!

Seriously now.
I know that half are nationalists.
But can't you see, for example, that Ireland is dependant on other countries?
The economy only grew because of immigrants.
Imports from other countries brought more variety, than potatoes.
-fruit?clothes? technology, medicines,

Immigrants built houses.
They populated the country!
Workforce?

I've lived on most continents, and to be honest, this is one of the most racist coutries I have ever seen.

If you join the European Union, because you're soo poor and you need money, you can't just back out when you get your help.
And you immigrate to America? Why should they allow you in when you want to close your borders?

For the past 5 years I've been experiencing muscle spasms. It started with a twitch in my eyelid and spasms in my hand. Now my muscle spasms are quite painful and are widespread they occur anywhere and everywhere including my back, neck, arms, legs, stomach, head and it is very painful especially when it gets to my back and neck. Over the past year it has gotten considerably more frequent and worse. I've seen a neurologist about this plus a few other problems (headaches, numbness in arms hands, and burning sensations). I've had a CT scan, checked for electrolytes, vitamin deficiencies, dehydration, thyroid problems, and everything has come up normal except protein in my urine a few times (but not every time). What could be causing this?

The water pulses out of the ground constantly worse when it rains.In my backyard I can dig down about 3ft in certain areas and find water. I live on the side of a small hill in the suburbs with a small creek at the bottom 100mt away. Im 6 to 800mt above sea level. Its not my water supply. Water tests show nitrates ammonium ph 5.6 & slight traces of fluoride. No one can tell me where this water is coming from or who can.

hey, i'm 18years old and it's been about two weeks before i had my period and i've started bleeding slightly. My periods, after years of irregularity (it would often not appear for months),have this year become regular except for now. Apparently bleeding in between periods can be normal so should i not be worried? I'm not on the pill or birth control. Apparently stress can cause it and i'm in the middle of my final year of school exams but i don't actually feel stressed... I lost my virginity about about a month ago now and have had sex a few times since then using protection, that woudln't have anything to do with it would it? Sex doesn't hurt me anymore and i know when you lose your virginity you can bleed a bit but i think i should be over that stage by now...
