There is 2400 acres burning in Malibu and some 15,000 in Orange. I know there is money in Malibu but it should be about people and danger to them not homes.

I've come to a conclusion based on some of my recent reading.
I believe that in general, a lack of resources start wars and religion picks sides in those wars.
Do you agree or disagree on a large scale? (I am aware of examples where this is not the case, but I am talking not about specific conflicts but the majority of them.)

and the 4.5 billion year history of the planet keep showing up on the Discovery, Science, History, Animal Planet, National Geographic, and Smithsonian Channels?

Libs can't be the only ones who enjoy these edutainment channels.

Do you think it is all one big tin foil hat liberal conspiracy?

I'm basically wondering whether people would rather live under an openly evil government (fascist germany), or a inwardly evil, outwardly good government (communist russia). The opinions stated are my own, I don't want a debate please just answer the very simple question, thanks.

The earth naturally produces these same greenhouse gasses that "global warming alarmists" say is eating through our protective ozone layer and as a result... will melt all the ice in the world... causing massive flooding with super high temperatures that will then boil all of us in the water and fry those of us on higher ground. So... looking at nature, which follows the laws of science... if mother earth and her animals create tons of the gasses everyday... is she trying to commit suicide? Is Al Gore just trying to stop her from killing herself? I may have mis judged Al.... although.... he still hasn't come up with a way to stop natural greenhouse gasses though....

This is simply a common sense question. If greenhouse gasses have that much of an effect.... why does the earth produce so much of it and how has it survived for so long?

I'm 52 and have been watching politics since the 60's. Never in my life have I see so much hatred as I have now. I had always been told how it would eat at a person and make them do and say strange things, but this is the first time I have witnessed it and on such a large scale. Amazing.

Information Please The author of a new book about the Clinton White House years says she was stonewalled during her attempts to get information at the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas. Sally Bedell Smith — author of "For Love of Politics" — says her requests for memos and records dealing with Hillary Clinton's role as First Lady were denied. Newsweek reports the national archives says barely one-half of one percent of the 78 million pages of documents and 20 million e-mails stored at the library are open to the public.

So today I was at the Westfield Santa Anita Mall in CA , minding my own business just smoking. Then a mall security comes up and asks me how old I am, why I wasn't at school and if I can give him my ID. I am 19 but I look like I'm 15 or so. I gave him my ID. Then he insisted I give him my mom's cell phone number so he can call her to see if I am really 19 because he didn't believe my ID. About that time I was so pissed off , I just left but he kept on following me. I just drove off. Do they have the right to do this?
