No I don't confuse the two issues but I think many do. Air pollution and global warming are closely intertwined after all. I sense that many do not appreciate the extent to which air pollution is a real issue for certain areas of the country.
The administration appears willing to dismiss our concerns. How else do you explain their cynical rewriting of the rules regarding pollution controls on powerplant construction?

Arnold, by the way may appreciate the issue if he is vacationing anywhere near Bar Harbor. See the link I posted above and the information regarding air pollution in Acadia National Park, "the nations tailpipe".

Arnold: Just don't breath too deeply!

Fox Hat,

I honestly don't care about your info. This topic has gotten ponderous. I'd rather talk about why they need to make a Volkl SuperSpeed when they still have the 6* in the line and you can get a P60 GC Racing Motion or a P60 GC Racing Stock. Here in New England, I think a P60 GC Racing Stock in a 185 or 190cm would be the perfect ski, as long as you're not a bumper. I've had 188cm and 193cm P40 F1s and preferred the longer ones. The new P60 GC Racing Stock received an awesome review in one of the major ski mags (Ski or Skiing, I can't remember which one).

jj, so, when presented with a document, you'd prefer to ignore it than comment?

As for why Volkl make the skis, it's cause consumers buy them.

When it's propaganda, it's not worth my time. Sorry, you can't compel me to read anything.

People buy Volkls because they make great skis.

Republican Senator John Warner, who was the Secretary of the Navy who awarded Kerry his Silver Star, said recently that he was certian the Kerry met the requirements for a Silver Star because the Navy had a process for determining that. Presumably, the same istrue for Purple Hearts. IF Kerry's medals are questionable, all the medals awarded to servicemen undr the same process aren questionable. Of course, that won't mater to Bush, whose service apparently was limited to keeping appontments for dental work.

Bush sent the Army to Iraq unprepared to occupy a hostile country after its easy victory over the Iraqi regime. His own father predicted that the occupation would be extremely difficult. He allowed Bremer to disband the Iraqi Army, which wouldn't fight, instantly creating a million or so angry, unemployed men trained in combat. There was insufficient manpower to find the conventional weapons before the Islamists got them and organized militias. Regardless of whether you believe the invasion was a good idea in the first place, Bush has competely mishandled it.

Bush has to go.

Read the book, he's a fraud. You can try and change the subject all you want, but the emperor has no clothes . . . or medals (Oh yeah, he's was so proud of them that he threw them away. . . or was that just his ribbons. . . or some other guy's medals because he left them at home . . .). Even if everything he claims is true, he's still a bum for stabbing his brothers in the back when he came back from Nam. He brought this upon himself by "reppoorrttting for duuuutyyyy."

Political chat

I love a good political argument, and have great fun going to the political chats and duking it out with those who have yet to see the light. That said, this doesn't really seem like the forum for partisan political bickering. I doubt that your skis could care less who you voted for. How about talking about skiing, and leaving the mudslinging out of it? Just a thought...

Sounds good. I'll abide by the ceasefire to "preserve the mosque." BTW, I didn't start the thread.

Who knows what the functional difference is between the Volkl P50 GC Racing Stock that came in 188cm and the new P60 version that comes in 190cm (same as last year?). How did they adjust the sidecut and why?

I've known a few Vietnam vets that came back and risked everything to protest the war. They had their military records disappear, their college aid stopped, threatening phone calls, cars parking outside their houses late at night, etc. but they kept at it. They were all very loyal Americans and very concerned about their fellow soldiers over in Vietnam. Don't go calling them back stabbers.....you haven't got a clue what that war did to a lot of young Americans.

Hey Rio,

Don't put words in my mouth. I'm talking about Kerry and what he said, not your acquaintances. He was a backstabber and I do have a clue. The way the anti-war "people" treated vets when they came back from Vietnam was disgraceful and we're not going to let it happen again with this Iraq action. I hope the NYC cops take care of business down at the RNC.

Rio, he said 'Nam back a few posts, not Veit Nam. Only guys who were incountry are allowed to say that---didn't you know that?

Here we go, I bet he has good ole Hanoi Jane in his sights as well.

Every so often we get someone here that can't quite grasp the concept of forum headers.

I am a Viet Nam era vet that has been known to mispell a word every now and again.

so i put the e before the i, sorry to interupt your tirade with my misplaced mispelling.

take your gear questions to the gear forum.

put some cash up and take this tired tirade to the lounge.

Remember this is a thread about Hot Air , something you seem to have in huge quantities.

And yes, I do know where the country is---do you?

Oh, so it is ok for you to slip in little hit-and-run insults, but you can't take it when someone swipes back. What do you mean by "era" vet? Shouldn't we question the value of your service like the Left has been questioning Bush's "Vietnam-era" National Guard service?

If you're so rigid about the forum headers, why don't you use spellchecker or a dictionary? I'm not the one who started this thread but the Leftist propaganda caught my eye and I'm sick of it. Man, I can't wait to gas up the H2 and hit those slopes!

THAT explains why you are a Bush supporter!

Show me the WMDs
Show me the link between the Iraqi government & Al Quaeda
Show me the link between the Iranian government & Al Quaeda
And do all these things without showing me the receipts for the weapons & training given to these organisations.

And as the national debt goes through the roof, and foreigners are blamed for everything, maybe it would be better to resolve the national problems rather than deflecting the issues by creating international ones.

Long time no snow eh?
This thread really has come down into the mud. I hesitate to join in but I hate to let this kind of thing go. Its really painful to me to see the lessons of history go by unheeded, particularly when they were paid for with so much blood. As a veteran of that vintage I have some knowledge of the way veterans were treated and I have to say that JJDow is way off. Veterans were disgracefully treated but not by and large by antiwar protesters, many of whom were veterans themselves like Kerry. It seemed to me the folks who tended to shout down the antiwar protests and who, by their support had kept the war the war and the senseless slaughter going for years (under the guise of "supporting the troops") were the group who turned against the veterans they had sent to fight the war. I'm not sure why, perhaps they needed someone to blame for our supposed defeat. You can imagine that someone who has gone to fight the country's war feels betrayed to find he has been sent into a pointless meatgrinder and hopes that someone at home will take a close look at what is going on and bring him home. Its really sad to find the self professed patriots once more letting us down.

What do you consider "due time"?
After we've gone in and killed more innocent civilians, or should we maybe try to get some facts straight before the next war?
Of course, should Bush get in again, the next war probably won't be until the next election, unless something major happens to the people who bankroll him, so he has to do something to distract the American public from seeing what's really going on.
