    Default Best Global Warming Quote I've read

    From the Head Cheese at NASA:

    "To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change. I guess I would ask which human beings — where and when — are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take.""

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Dude.. that's a sweet find - you know all the mouth-breathing libs will have no reponse to this, however, as it makes too much sense... and common sense is like Kryptonite to Libs...

    Some of NASA's OWN are freaking out about it - as if their BUDGETS are at stake if we learn the truth

    Too bad that quote you so love has such deeply flawed logic.
    If you're worth less than $5 million and you vote for McCain, you're a loser.
