Even the best of our global scientists, Nobel prizewinners or otherwise, are scratching the surface when it comes to understanding the universe and its climatological impacts. Every day for these scientists leads to a new discovery of the realities and effects of that universe. The clear and substantiated evidence of the relative contribution of humans to the effects of climate change on our global sphere have not been proven by that scientific body, relative to the huge forces of nature coming from the sun, other spheres and the impact forces of the universe. Nothing is ever discussed or proven about those forces beyond our control. The reality is that we fail to recognize that we do not control the climate switch. No flagNo flagAllowNo actionChecked

However, I do know of some conservative talking heads that have for years been convincing their devout followers that there is a war on Christmas because business have chosen to have their employees tell customers "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"....as if someone wishing another "Happy Holidays" keeps that one from celebrating Christmas. Heck.....at the BSA Jamboree, Trump made it sound like saying "Merry Christmas" had been banned and was illegal to say....and that he was going to fix it. "...asking the government to force service or fine them out of existence?" Discrimination based on sexual orientation is illegal by law. If they didn't want to be fined, then they need to follow the law. If a fine made them close their business, then they weren't in very good shape to begin with.

The focus has become whether or not the defendants' burn pile started the fire. If defense can raise a reasonable doubt about the cause (being their burn pile) then they will get off. So assuming their illegal use of fireworks was actually the cause, then prosecution is pushing a losing case and they could be found "not guilty", even though they in fact started the fire .... going to be a lot of pissed off people if that happens because of this!

First, 'sociopathology' is the study of sociopathy, not sociopathy itself. You misused the term three times, but somehow we'll get beyond your misconstruction of a crucial abstract term. Second, one doesn't 'endure' an education, except possibly in Catholic schools, where the brothers or nuns rap your knuckles for sins, real or imagined. Third, sociopathy doesn't 'always contain a refusal to endure education with a lifetime of creating chaos.' Some sociopaths are highly educated, just as some outstanding citizens dropped out of school early. [Side note: Sarah Palin seems bent on creating a lifetime of chaos, as does that malignant narcissist, Donald Trump.] Education is a broad spectrum thing. Lots of West Point graduates were/are stellar human beings who contribute to humanity. [Thinking about you, Colin Powell.] Others -- George Tiaffay, WP graduate and firefighter(!) sentenced to 81 years for murdering his wife -- not so stellar. No flagNo flagAllowNo actionChecked
