		<description>They have posted a response from Tesla. The article is hyperventilating over nothing.  It&#039;s like having a headline that Ford is selling a car that will need a new engine if you never change the oil or fail to keep the coolant filled. If someone is going to let their car sit unused for months at a time, making a fairly trivial maintenance effort to keep the battery from depleting completely hardly seems a huge burden.</description>

		<description>Well said, John Bush. I have not heard many people say it was an assault on religion when Mormons were forbidden by law to practice their conscience (polygamy). And lets face it, through the ages there have been many things that religion was wrong about anyway- slavery, genocide, rights of women, etc. They clearly don&#039;t always get it right, and that is every religion.</description>

		<description>How do you diminish human suffering by fostering abortion?  Pregnancy is not a disease. What&#039;s next- legalizing suicide so others don&#039;t have to suffer?  From your statement it appears you really don&#039;t care that our First Amendment is under attack.  If we don&#039;t protect our freedoms who will?</description>

		<description>All that being said, you have to make a conscious, critical decision related to the established system that we Americans live under.

Do you believe in the tentents of the Constitution as layed out by the founders or don&#039;t you?

Do you find their findings and writings inconsequential and of no value, to be discarded on an emotional whim?

The Constitution is not a document based on principles of compassion and emotion,  the Constitution is based on the founders first hand understanding of the depraved and 

tyrannical nature of man. The Constitution is designed to counter act the depraved and tyrannical nature of man. 

(it is not to be screwed with, especially by any modern politician)

The first item that the founders dealt with in the amendments to the Consitution was what?

Freedom of speech, freedom of association and FREEDOM OF RELIGION !

(Why did the Pilgrims come to America? Freedom from religious persecution. Its like a theme, people want to be free from other people telling them what they should believe, 

it is a basic right in America that can not be taken away by the government.)

That means that besides any feelings of compassion or commercial accomodation that may be present in any issue, the government may not compell any citizen or bomified 

religious organization to act in such a manner against the reasonable tenents of their belief system.

There has been specifically created a wall between the government and the individual, and this, if you believe in the tentents of the Consitution, must not be breached.

If this is allowed to stand then we no longer live under the Constitution as it was written by the founders. (they knew better than we and any modern politician)

So you and the rest of the American people must decide: 

Do I want to live under the American Constitution as it was written by the founders who knew better than we?

OR

Do I want to live under a hollowed out American Constitution based on emotionalisim and socialist principles written by a modern politician?


Choose wisely.</description>

		<description>You sure seem like a smart man, til I think it through.  Assault on religion is it? Religion that teaches it&#039;s&#039; man&#039;s free will causing the suffering of the small and the helpless, the poor and the oppressed, those in need of a doctor in order to make this life more livable and just.  It is religion that would turn it&#039;s back on this suffering and say it&#039;s 
God&#039;s plan and we are not allowed to doubt or see the works of God as in time all will be revealed.

It&#039;s the proponents of the superiority of religion(s) over the universal law that men should love and reach out a hand to their brothers and sisters, that raise up in ire when we simply seek to uniformly apply the law to all employers, even when it is men or women, claiming the sole authority for interpreting and following the dictates of their &#039;religions&#039; even when they do something secular like hire another person who is not of their religion, does not share their beliefs (by the way why are religions hiring people who do not belong to the religion and share in it&#039;s beliefs if the first place if the proponents of the religion really does care enough about all this to begin with) and it is the likes of these works of these men and women that would promote, encourage and even require the birth of countless  children condemned to live a short while, suffer a great deal, never know a full stomach, always know the hunger, always hurt and need health care and love and affection from his fellow man, but instead, gets to suffer and die only with the solace that God is a great mystery and all will be revealed, and, after all, it is man that is the cause of this suffering, not God.

So I say let&#039;s give thanks to Obama and his administration, simply humans one and all, for at least trying to apply a humanitarian law equally to each and every health insurance policy and each and every employer (they are all run by men), unless each such employer wants to limit hiring to only the followers of it&#039;s religious teachings.

It&#039;s time we stop the reactionary slapping of Obama and his aides every time one of them trys to help the world by envisioning a way to diminish human suffering.

		<description>Just watch the 53 minute youtube video &quot;The Cloud Mystery&quot; by Henrik Svensmark and there will be no mystery at all as to the mechanism.  As one scientist involved said, so poetically in my opinion, &quot;clouds drive our climate, and stars give the clouds their orders.&quot;
  
It&#039;s clear to me, what with the climate-gate bust and knowing about how their graphs avoided or even hid the various natural warming events from earlier times on Earth with less CO2 than now but warmer temps than now, and the times with more CO2 and yet far colder temps than now, and the way in which CO2 rise lags global warming by hundreds of years, and the words in the emails themselves being so incriminating, that the tap dance now is:
to find the least embarrassing way to back away from the exposed scam, as Earth is going colder, before so many people are so angry and cold and hungry that the political and other consequences become really harsh for those who kept it alive.</description>

		<description>Hey folks rolled over no teir liberty to get the health care they choose (among a lot of other things) so having the ability to choose no just religious groups seems rather trivial in comparison.  Its the general rolling over why Obama takes rights that should be the big hot button.</description>

		<description>This is excellent news! Hopefully the data gathered from this small centrifuge will encourage further experiments with larger centrifuges.

I have read some about the research done on previous and current space stations, but there are still large gaps in my knowledge. Is there a good summary somewhere? -- or perhaps that should be phrased as: &quot;Which of your books would you recommend?&quot; ;)</description>

		<description>Yes, it&#039;s the Onion. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/searching_for_saddam/2010/02/searching_for_saddam_5.single.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;However, for those who weren&#039;t born quite yesterday&lt;/a&gt; there is excellent supportive evidence that social media is how US intel caught Saddam Hussein.

		<description>Am I to reason that the lower sunspot activity level will result in a &#039;cooling&#039; of the earth&#039;s climate? 

What will reduced sunspot activity mean for ocean temperatures and storm activity?

Will the reduced sunspot activty impact the amount of light reflected back into space by air bourn aerosols.

Has anyone mentioned this news to the UN - IPCC drones? 

Now if only we could get a major volcanic eruption to occur so that the eruption event occurs during the [anticipated] cooling trend. Snow shoes for everyone.</description>

		<description>We&#039;ve known for a long time they can&#039;t do what they claim.  Electric cars pollute more (air and water/soil pollution) then normal cars, cost over 10 times as much per mile to &quot;fuel&quot; etc.  Never stoped the faithful before.

Hell they knew ethonal didn&#039;t save any oil adn doubled airpollution to - but that green tech church didn&#039;t listen eiather.</description>

		<description>Ryan&#039;s about the only politician I ever voted for - rather then voting against the worst alternative.

;)

But really, whats a unfunded $100 Trillion +  debt (if you take Trweasuries rosy assumptions) between  &quot;friends&quot;.  Worst comes to worst Grama goes into a labor camp -- making green technology of course!


.... is that why you spend so much time exploring uncharted caves?!!
The state can find you Bob!  The Spirit of &quot;The One&quot; wil guide them to you, to extract your &quot;fair share&quot;.</description>

		<description>Actually they might use concrete.  McDonnel Douglas and the Shimizu corporation worked up some lunar base ideas ( http://www.shimz.co.jp/english/theme/dream/moonbase.html ), and did testing on a new concept to cast concrete made out of lunar soil in a vacume.  Worked great and the Lunar soil made the best concrete they ever saw.  [Course the moons pretty dry, but water is common in near Earth space.]</description>

		<description>Well, I guess that clears things up.

It is reminiscent of trying to figure out what was going on in the Space Program of the old Soviet Union.</description>

		<description>Good article.

&quot;Instead, what happened was a very small piece of space junk hit the wire — and only the wire — at high speed, breaking it.&quot;

We don&#039;t know for sure if only the wire was hit.  Perhaps other separate particles passed through the solar array.  The solar array is designed to still function (provide power) with minor impacts and even some cracked solar cells.  The power/voltage might be degraded somewhat.  

Since the impact on the wire was near the base of the solar array, there is a chance (depending on the angle) the debris object(s) proceeded to the pressurized module(s) and truss structure below it.  Fortunately, they have shielding.</description>

		<description>Excellent article.

But, it does raise an interesting question for the people that propose to pursue BEO operations by launching numerous small payloads and having them assembled on site autonomously (no human supervision provided for – in case of malfunction).</description>

		<description>More and more and I fear for 4 more years of this man and his underlings in office because I worry about the future of the country and the damage he is doing. Yet more and more it looks like he will get that chance to do damage for four years. And lets be honest we will all be worm food before historians will talk truefully about the corruption and incompetence of the Obama Administration.</description>
