Thank God we have this same consensus in this manner.
Taxes are always a bad thing, and taxes that support bigger government are the worst.
Deliver mail, protect the nation. Taxation for the support of extreem enviro-socialism is just awful.

got to love the summation of environmentalists as communists. must be an american thing? then again, i know brits who refer to anyone even remotely concerned about the environment as commie so who knows. right wing thing?

i'm unsure as to how much of global warming is down to man and how much is just a natural cycle (whihc i think probably reflects the general situation, we can't really know as the data, whilst indicative of human impact, is not wholly conclusive) but i basically come down on the "pumping chemicals and agents, whether naturally occuring or not, into the atmosphere at higher levels than they would naturally occur cannot be good" camp.

but then i also couldn't give two tugs of a dead dog's todger about it. i live on a hill and would like a beach front property within the next 50 years. i also laugh at the "we're killing the planet" brigade because, well, we're not. we're just responsible, to a greater or lesser extent, for a mass extinction event. the planet will be fine, life will continue. we may not.

i do laugh at the climate change denial stuff though. up there with the best conspiracy theories, in that it almost completely ignores scientific data, measurements of polar icecaps, glaciers, etc etc. like the "mmr causes autism" thing.

hilarious 'til you realise these people are serious.
