... If you review the chart at : http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ohx/climate/extremes.htm You'll find that while our winters have been significantly warmer, our summers have been cooler. I find that somewhat puzzling. Just what the doctor ordered! Perfect. Warmest winter I (a native NYer) can remember here in NYC. My father said the same.

""No reasonable person would have thought that telling thousands of people that it was safe to return to lower Manhattan, while knowing that such return could pose long-term health risks and other dire consequences, was conduct sanctioned by our laws," and called Whitman's actions "conscience-shocking." U.S. District Court Judge Deborah A. Batts, February 2, 2006 when issuing a ruling on Whitmans request to be ganted immunity from the class action suit brought by those who were exposed to the incredibly high levels of dioxins, asbestos, heavy metals and PCB's. Good God (and I ain't religious): can you *imagine* the **** (and how much of it) those people were exposed to? We've all seen that footage of the billowing clouds chasing people down the street: for Chrissake, there were burned and melted computers, office furniture, copy machines, chemicals galore in there! Apparently this (Whitman's and the EPA's outrageous lies) was all part of a spin campaign coordinated by the Bush White House. -- If the United States government, with all its capacity to collect and interpret information, did not see Hamas doing very well in the Palestinian election in the wake of these other Islamist victories, then it is either willfully blind or totally incompetent—- and neither possibility is a very comforting thought. - Rami G. Khouri, editor at large of the Beirut-based _Daily Star_ |

Do tell me that Christine Todd-Whitman wasn't among them ! Don't know. But Ruckelshaus can't be dismissed. W only wants yes men, not "republicans." Her only saving grace is that she eventually figured out that George appointed her to the EPA just so he could have another Republican in the EPS office. At least she had what it takes to resign after she figured it out. Of course that was after she altered the goverment-commisioned report indicating that global warming was being caused by the human factor and was therefore not a completely natural occurance. Combined with the significant evidence that she has endangered thousands of people who returned to lower Manhattan prematurely, I think she was the absolute worst director the EPA ever had.

Batts, February 2, 2006 when issuing a ruling on Whitmans request to be ganted immunity from the class action suit brought by those who were exposed to the incredibly high levels of dioxins, asbestos, heavy metals and PCB's. Unfortunately the same judge didn't rule on the case brought by Stanley G. Hilton. That judge determined that a sitting president can't be sued due to the legal loophole of 'Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity'. IOW, the government can't do any wrong even when we know good and well they were guilty as sin. == John - Photographer & Webmaster www.puresilver.org - www.xs750.net |

Why I'll never have any idea. The good thing is that "4 more years" is just about enough time for the RNC to be "hoist by their own petard". ;) BTW, check this out : http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget...df/savings.pdf Note the one of the cuts is to : "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Operations" Yeah, in a time of global warming and subsequent increased flooding our government is swinging the axe on funding while asking for another $80,B for a "war" (yeah right ! It's called an occupation) in a third-world country that would just as soon have not had the US upsetting their applecarts. == John - Photographer & Webmaster www.puresilver.org - www.xs750.net |
