Then: The hockey stick graph was old inadmissible news for the MMGW purveyors on this board and else where. That those that created it were fraudulent LIARS never really seemed to overly bother them. Questioning scientist's: ethics, morals, results, intended results, hidden agendas, etc., even in the face of significant fraudulent scientists was un-acceptable, and not permissible. Failing to have what the MMGW purveyors called 'peer reviewed' articles meant MMGW must be real! Questioning the deficiencies, strong arm tactics, hidden agendas, fraud, etc. around 'Peer Reviewed' articles or the Peer group itself was was un-acceptable, and not permissible. Questioning the IPCC AKA the Holy Grail of MMGW was impossible as it was made up of all these amazing world bodies of science. What ever data the IPCC says is 'the' data is in fact the data to be used for all debates. Any other data is simply of little value and not 'the' data. Period. Now: The hockey stick graph is still major news when we take into account just how much they massaged that data to remove or even Invert the Medieval Warming Period and align all the data into the rising 'blade' as well as disguise and remove the decent that was cut off/hidden. The people that generated it were LIARS! It is Right to question the integrity, ethics, motives, funding, prestige, etc. of the scientists working none stop to grind out Pro MMGW data! Peer Review is in fact not some amazing thing. It is too much about 'majority' and 'power' rules. Its dangerous to tout PR articles when the group in power wont let anyone else in and when the articles that are reviewed are reviewed with fraudulant intent. Data is now as the article says "Product". Which means no one wants to release their 'product' to others so that they can review it, test it, compare it, etc. It is now worth Money. And you don't want to release it Especially when it is full of questionable tricks and skewed data and even blatant lies. Its all about money, power, funding. The IPCC does not check its own sources or is as fraudulent as their own sources and thus are wholly incapable of performing their assigned duties. ---------------------- Trillions of dollars on the line here and the only thing the MMGW backers have been backing is the same old sales lines, a refusal to debate, a refusal to be honest with the data, a refusal to question the scientists and their data, and a desperate need to still cling to the idea that is always at the end of every informal GW debate "That somehow man is affecting the climate one way or another. Period. Which then starts the process over again. Rinse/repeat to no end until they finally stop and drop the GW or MMGW issue. Peace and Blessings

Most exempt take vesting that does not Start for 3+ years and is 15% to 20% below strike price set at contract. I would not expect the CEO to take anything that expires in less then 5 to 7 years. Especially coming into this mess. Further, executive strike prices are usually a fraction of the current cost. So if it was $4 per share when M came in, he probably got a 300k to 700k shares with a strike price of 50 cents or less vesting 20% or more each year after the 1st year if not better calendar terms. Peace and Blessings

Wow. Texas AND CA are on board with this. Cool! Peace and Blessings

He or she will get a raise the next year? Seriously. I would much rather have it simple and clean and have a very very few over laps which do not amount to much then the huge mess we have now. Peace and Blessings

Twins win! Peace and Blessings

I would like to see a graduated tax with no deductions except for children and donations. < $35,000 -$2,500 / dependent up to 5 dependents = 10% tax < $85,000 -$2,500 / dependent up to 5 dependents = 12% tax < $150,000 -$2,500 / / dependent up to 5 dependents = 14% tax > $150,000 -$2,500 / / dependent up to 5 dependents = 16% tax Then after a decade we would have a better idea of how to move financially to a straight usage tax of say 20% on all items not food, clothing, or shelter. Give the feds 15% and the state 5%. Locked. With 1% from each going to pay of debt or into savings. Freaking amazes me that I should save, but that the govt saves nothing, so it can maintain funding during down times. Should get to the point of having 5%, then 10% then 25%, then 50% of next years budget in the bank. Peace and Blessings

That's why I'm here Trim. To make sure the religious fanatics don't get to him! :hysterical: Peace and Blessings Hey, its a good week. One of us has sought out help.

Ah Versa. That is where you just learn to let others have their say and ignore it if it is only silly banter of no assistance. It could come from me, Trim, my mother (hahahah!), your mother, uncle loud mouth, who knows. Alcohol is about lashing out at yourself. So if playing a puppet to anotherss; Trimms in this case, puppet strings. Don't be a puppet. Don't lash out. Just consider. The more you consider the greater will be your success. Life is a thinking mans game. Believe it or not Versa. Some really do have it worse then you. You won't always know who they are. That is not the key. The key is knowing that you only have your road to walk. Not your and their road! Peace and Blessings

Lets not turn this into a debate over quiting and 12 steps, etc. That is of no use to Versa or anyone else on this path. Lets just stop now. If you don't have something personal and posative to share, filter it and keep it to yourself just this one time... Peace and Blessings

Guess you do know what a "New Day" can feel like huh? Peace and Blessings

:hysterical:

Wow! Thanks for a great story of your own! Makes me want to give this girl a scholarship, a new car, a house, or something. But she sounds like she is blessed with the best things in life already!!! If you actually know her, you can tell her parents job excellently done by them and her, from me! Peace and Blessings

Exactly. That is why I moved from Sacramento Ca to MN. The schools are much better and middle school is not gangs-drugs-and violence 101. Glad to have my kids in real good schools. But if not, I would not be afraid to home school in the slightest. It very much depends upon the kid, parents, and setting. 2 out of 3 is good. For example, the homeless boy that graduated top of his class in Sacramento Ca 3 or 4 years back. Horrible situation. But a good kid and a good parent. Peace and Blessings
