    I thought extortion was illegal. You don’t agree with my views so I’m going to publicly call you out and force you to accept my way of thinking or put you out of business.

      I wonder what would happen if State Farm pulled out of California citing it was too bad of a place to underwrite insurance in due to all these nuts/bullies.

    The Sierra idiots are responsible for much of California’s problems. They should be put in a padded cell.

      Due to the Sierra Club and others not allowing our forests to be managed by professionals, they have cause many of the very wasteful, polluting fires of recent. Nobody wins….all is wasted.

    That was an unnecessarily long article about a bunch of idiotic granola bars. The Sierra Club consists largely of problem makers, not problem solvers.

    ALEC’s stated position “Climate change is a historical phenomenon and the debate will continue on the significance of natural and anthropogenic contributions” amounts to denial.

    No science is ever “settled,” but the consensus among the researchers who know the science best is as strong as the consensus on biological evolution or tobacco’s carcinogenicity. (See Anderegg et al 2010, “Expert credibility in climate change”, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.) Say what you like about “granolas”, but there is little controversy *in science* that human civilization is mostly responsible for the dramatic global warming of the last hundred years.

      There is no consensus about biological evolution. That is a bunch of malarkey just like man causing climate change/global warming. If man evolved from apes, why are there still apes. The idea that life rose up from swamp goo is absurd and suddenly life with thousands of species just rose up is a joke. Who gave man a soul? Is man just like a dolphin?

        Much more plausible, is that we came from a lump of clay, after a magical wizard, who lives on a magical cloud with pearly gates, blew on it. Then thousands of species were all loaded onto one boat with enough food to feed all of them for 40 days and 40 nights.

        Wow! Please don’t be discouraged. Continue to work on that GED!! In the meantime, if you happen to be male, I’d be happy to front you funds for a vasectomy if you’re a little short.

      Is this a poem or a song? If a song, what tune is it sung to?
