  Let's start by monitoring those companies pushing so hard for greenhouse gas reductions... Like those owned by Al Gore.

  Obviously Modernmystic and MikeB do not take kindly to having the truth being spoken, as witnessed by their each having rated the above post a "1."
  
  Perhaps they should see the chaplain about getting their TS cards punched.

  In short, he's a coward and an intellectual fraud.
