ExxonMobil’s Survey on Pipelines
Do I support pipelines? Like that’s a yes or no question?
Do I promote ripping up existing pipelines, just for the lack of something better to do? No.
Do I support building poorly engineered new pipelines through sacred and/or environmentally sensitive parts of the world, to pump a toxic sludge that will further enrich a heavily subsidized, eco-catastrophic industry with no real future? Uh-uh.
I’m reminded of the National Rifle Association surveys that asks questions like, “Do you support the right of a capable, law-abiding citizen to own a gun as a means of protection of himself and his family?” As if there are people who say, “No, rapists and murderers can conduct their crimes unimpeded, as I look on casually?”
I support sashimi-grade ahi tuna, but not as baby food.
The world is a nuanced place in which to live.
“Stabilized” office buildings? What does that mean?
There are reasons that the U.S. is the epicenter of the pandemic, and that Europe, Canada, and Mexico have closed their borders to American would-be travelers.
Natural selection weeds out life forms ill-equipped for survival; this is how species evolve. Here we have a large group of “people” who lack both the intelligence and the compassion required to deal with the current pandemic, and Darwin’s theory of evolution is going through them like crap through a goose. 
One thing you have to admit about Trump: he’s anything but subtle. He has no regard for the law, and he’s completely shameless and brazen about that.
At left are a few thousand climate change mitigation advocates, gathered near the Eiffel Tower during a United Nations conference on the subject in 2015.
I have an old friend who is heavy into conspiracy theories; he tends to be skeptical about anything he hears in the media and gloms onto sinister explanations that may be rumored. True to form, he thinks the pandemic was planned (thus, the “plandemic”) as a health, economic and political experiment. How far can people be pushed in terms of removing their liberties before they will rebel?
Please pardon the profanity in the discussion at left, but this is too good not to share. I don’t have the level of animus as this guy, but I totally see where he’s coming from. (Btw, the Dunning–Kruger effect is that people with low ability at a task tend to overestimate their ability, stemming from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability.)
William Barr lied to the American people when he said that U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoff Berman “would be stepping down.” In fact, Berman had left a meeting with Barr earlier that day insisting he would not be stepping down.
