Must check in

I just do not have anything to say today. I mean you must be glad that I made that clear. I should say that the trial in my posting yesterday was declared a mistrial. It appears that the girlfriend, who was the Crown's chief witness, may have perjured herself. Her profile and postings regarding blood lust appeared on a Vampire website and blog. Her credibility is now called into question. The two accomplices may walk and the brother may end up with a plea to manslaughter. What a crock!!! The brother may get away with his "impulse control disorder". This is another victory for junk science or really new age crap that is trying to pass itself off as science.

I always liked science. It was ideally supposed to be objective. The subjectivity removed by experiment and observation. In reality, the objectivity has been poisoned by politics. Now we have politics masquerading as science. Just look at Global Warming. I do believe that the globe has warmed over the while, but it is merely ASSUMED that it is man made or all man made cause. The models used are based on the same assumptions but those assumptions are not tested. It has become an article of faith that man is causing global warming. We are taking the word of biologists as gospel. The only problem is that biologist and the like only deal with the EFFECTS of these environmental changes. They have, in and of themselves, no sense of the history of the earth and what has occurred over various earth cycles. That is the nature of their discipline. They are prognosticating and diagnosing in areas that they are not necessarily expert in. We should look to the geologists and others who can and do study the earth's climatic past. It is these experts who have a sense of the climate cycles that the Earth has had.

It is these "junk" scientists pushing a political agenda and perverting this sense of objectivity who are very dangerous. They are free to espouse their opinions but those opinions and their credentials should be examined. Just because your cardiologist is smart does not mean you want him to diagnose your dermatoligical concerns.
