It is sad when science gets mixed up with politics. It seems like a separate issue to me...but I guess with funding and federal projects that seem silly and that guy in England who lied, well now it's political.

I wasn't a greenie...and really don't think of myself as one, but even I am trying to do things to quit throwing gases into the air. It is scaring me.

I don't know why we have to buy everything on one side and nothing on the other in politics. I guess it boils down to that when we enter the booth we are alone, and I pray to keep an open mind and not be swayed by either side in the interest of common sense.
