When I traveled to third world countries I came back a humbler man needing less consumer goods or credit those cultures were fascinating to me. No credit much less consumerism but strong family values. MoS I salute them they live on pennies [some of them] a day and are no less or more happy then us I learned.<br /><br />I was writing a book and all my research pointed me to NATO and how they are the ugly aggressive arm of the USA and Great Britain. They murder these peoples and at the same time claim to be on a - wait for it- "humanitarian mission" I am thoroughly disgusted and Steve? He wants to bomb the hell out of them because in his deluded mind he thinks he is from "heaven" or going to it kinda kinda like a Jihadist that he fans the flames for. <br /><br />MogsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868396408359306954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-74784169040121784812015-01-04T17:35:12.646-08:002015-01-04T17:35:12.646-08:00Mogs, "easy credit" that now manifests i...Mogs, "easy credit" that now manifests in worrying levels of consumer debt was the grease used to facilitate the enormous transfer of unearned wealth out of the middle classes to the very rich. So long as the unwary could seemingly afford all the conveniences and trinkets they allowed themselves to be taken to the cleaners. That is one of the major drivers of the inequality crisis that besets the West. Fortunately for the most affluent, the plebs haven't grasped the reality that they've been mercilessly conned out of their and their kids' future.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-3703643224920441742015-01-04T16:57:32.959-08:002015-01-04T16:57:32.959-08:00@ Mound of Sound "mentally primitive"?

I think that, as a species, man is too mentally primitive to tackle this question.<br /><br />@ Anyong. That's a good one. The person who posed the question has obviously not delved into the make up and operations of the IPCC. No, the IPCC hasn't "bought" the Vatican as the question implies. Indeed most climate scientists are atheist or agnostic. However if you run into this person again you might suggest they write the IPCC with their question. It's remarkably child-like.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-52410594606287267172015-01-04T10:20:34.639-08:002015-01-04T10:20:34.639-08:00Do you know if the IPCC donates to the RC Church a...Do you know if the IPCC donates to the RC Church and how much it might be?

That really opened my mind to this radical, almost subversive teaching order within the RC ranks. They did really powerful things to a young, impressionable and usually already indoctrinated mind. You didn't take too many courses with a Jesuit father before you were virtually forced to think for yourself. In my academic life I've never, ever had that much fun.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-3535156643796713722015-01-02T08:52:14.213-08:002015-01-02T08:52:14.213-08:00Me too Pam I was brought up a wait for it a "...Me too Pam I was brought up a wait for it a "catholic" and I now also am an atheist Pope Francis has more money and power behind him [almost 2000 years the catholic church] than Steve can dream of.<br /><br />Let us hope he smites the beast?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868396408359306954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-84950853528318092092015-01-02T08:21:50.177-08:002015-01-02T08:21:50.177-08:00Interesting Mound, the head of a faith based relig...Interesting Mound, the head of a faith based religious institution fighting for science based climate change. I was brought up a Catholic, but am now an atheist. I have to say though I really like Pope Francis. I sense that if he was given full reign there is alot of good changes he would make.

Your comments sent me off to Google religious affiliation in Canada. By a significant margin, Roman Catholicism leads the pack. The good part - wait for it - is that at 38.7%, Canadian Roman Catholics match Harper's last electoral performance. How many of those does Francis have to tip out of the Tory camp to send Harper packing?The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-52141312402126169972015-01-01T10:55:08.992-08:002015-01-01T10:55:08.992-08:00Okay Mound of Sound are you ready for this?
