My conclusions so far on GW: Peter's goal of avoiding hospitalization is a good one; I concur. Hospitals are interesting places to spend your vacation, but I can get a motel room much cheaper in Palm Springs. If the Unification Church and Rev. Moon want to support Fred Singer, they have the constitutional right to do so. If Exxon Mobile wants to pay me $1,000,000 to deny GW, I'll do so gladly. If R.J. Reynolds wants to pay me $1,000,000 to claim that second-hand smoke is good for us, I can do that too. (Although I would be ashamed.) What I cannot do is prove or disprove GW...I'm in the wrong field; I'm in Left Field.. If GW is true, and sea levels rise, then I look forward to catching flounder and Dungeness crabs from the bridges of Portland, although it might cause some accidents on the I-5 bridge.
