Not true at all ... I don't think I've ever labeled an opionin of my own as right or common sense. I leave it at "I think", or "in my opinion" to stand on it's own.
Truth be known I am a non alarmist in almost everything in my life, and I think my opinion on things for the past ten years is consistent enough to prove that out. It's not a tactic or an act, it's a way of life, one that I've clearly kept to through all your bombastic jumps to the poles of every issue.
And Jesus Bingo? I've got enough hats to wear around here, I don't think I need that lofty of a title
Either way, if I misunderstood you I'm sorry.

So excuse me if I take anything an "economist" has to say with anything but a grain of salt the size of cattle feed salt lick. They don't have a clue about our economy let alone any other subject matter.

Agreed and may I say BING BING BING
Grain of salt is all I'm arguing. Look at what I said.
I'm worried that leading economists continue to suggest that many of these policies won't actually do a thing for the environment but waste tax payer dollars.
I didn't state they are proven right, infallable, or someone that we should trust above everyone else, but all you have to do is look at Kyoto expenditures and actual drop in carbon to know they have something there to talk about.
every expert on any topic should be questioned, and then requestioned and then requestioned some more. The economy like the climate is changing all the time, and with that more informatin is added and new theories are born.
But I'm not throwing my lot into either camp at this point because there is way too much up in the air, despite what Al Gore and his buddies claim.
