Good post, wer. Take social security. When started, it was to be a system of retirement. Only problem was the retirement age and the average age of mortality was the same. Never meant for very many to collect. Further evidence-there was never a trust fund and congress spent the social security and medicare collections every year. Two years ago social security paid out more than it took in and voila-a new government program that is here to save everyone money and you can keep your physician. Oops-those are both lies. When the powers that be are promoting something they have to get enough people to agree with them that this is good for you. But the real truth-they need more money. And they want you to feel good about giving it to them. Global warming is one of the last ideas to try to save the bureaucracy from going down the toilet. That is why no discussion is allowed. No one who puts forth alternate ideas on the data is given any voice in the public forum or schools. It holds the force of religion because anyone who disagrees is excommunicated. Was it good for the powers that were to hold the earth was flat and anyone who disagrees is a heretic? Let's find out where the truth winds up whether it be global warming, social security or this company. Oh, by the way, look up Galveston, Texas. They opted out of social security in the 50's and the people get a MUCH larger retirement check. They did the same in Chile, only they made it a private retirement system where the money is yours and your heirs from day one. If you die at 40, the retirement money doesn't disappear, it goes to your heirs. Global warming upsets me because we can't talk about it. You're either a brainwashed "believer" or you're a heretic. My best to all, Jim
