well, finally made it - the car is dragging in the snow while pulling into the driveway ... (FYI - usually I don't clean the driveway, as snow has hardly gotten this high for quite many years). But the 8-10in I've gotten here through the last couple years, I can now clean the underside of the car with the snow ....

Can somebody please cancel the Winter?

Quit complaining about your car dragging cold snow.
I did my "Jägerprüfung" this week..... standing outside at -14C holding a shotgun in your bare hands...... that's worth moaning about!

A Gore is an idiot, global warming is a phase, it merely means more extreme conditions, because if you have a hot globe, the ice caps melt, and once they cool the ocean, the winters are more harsh, it is true that the temperatures are increasing, since the 1700's reading George Washington's diaries you learn that the temperatures of near the revolution were considered a "mini ice-age" so naturally a century later, temperatures are increasing... between 1850(beginning recording temperatures) and present day, temperatures have increased an average of half a degree Celsius. Most scientist agree that the globe goes through phases, yet environmentalists of course have a different agenda(environmental products in the US yielded over 1 billion dollars in net profits in 2008, in England over 10 billion).

Thank God for global warming or we would have 6 feet of snow by now. I can remember the early 70s when a lot of these same groups were screaming about global cooling. I can remember a cover of either Time or Newsweek with a picture of the Statue of Liberty, if I remember correctly. It was covered in ice with icicles hanging off of it. The whole environment movement is about manufacturing a crisis to continue getting money for their research or making money off of environmental products. They would rather write supposedly scientific papers that get a real job and have to do honest work. It's all about trying to control how we live. Personally, I'll continue to drive my V8s and pump as much carbon dioxide, etc. into the environment as I can. Long live hot rodders.
