I see that my old friend "Will Sill" has opined (yet again) on the veracity
of "truth" and "peer-review" and then sadly used that context to spin in the
greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon the human species...<big sigh!>

Indeed they do! Facts are facts. Truth is truth. One can not existAny evidence contrary to "accepted belief," however good or bad, is deemed
untrue. When "Peer review" is used in this manner, all science becomes
questionable and subject to personal interpretation. . . . .
When "peer review" is used contrary to its original and historic purpose,
regardless of who and why, everyone suffers. Its use as a "standard" or
the
basis for learning can no longer be trusted, and neither can anything it
is
used to measure. It means that science is now ruled by men with
ideologies
and not the laws embodied in the sciences. Any conclusion can be reached,
established as real, and enforced; regardless of the harsh, cold light of
scientific truth. That should concern both those who believe that GW is
real and dangerous, and those who do not. It means that a lie can be
promulgated as truth, without recourse. And that is what seems to be
ruling
public perceptions these days. Frightening, that...
So very true. Not only do these points apply to the Global Warming
Fraud; they apply universally. As I often put it: "The veracity of

Truth is not relative to the culture. Truth is not determined by pollsAbsolutely spot-on!
or votes (unless, of course, the "truth" you're after is to know what
percentage of the polled accept a particular idea!). Truth is
likewise not determined by Persons of Letters, whether 'scientists',
'researchers'. professors or (ugh!) politicians.

tracks.

as ignorant superstition or worse. While the disgusting and frankly
conclusions you can draw from the available facts, you don't get your own
version of the truth that those facts portend. I say this not picking on
your particular flavor of religion, I damn them all! Through out history,
through uncountable numbers of distinct, individual cultures with
uncountable numbers of "religions", no one, has NOT EVER been able to show
the mythical deities that they choose to cling to have any substance at all.
Not one. Not ever. Not yesterday. Not today. Not tomorrow. There isn't
a smidgeon of difference between you grimly clinging to a mythical,
unproveable deity and his persumed messenger, and "little al's" sycophants
clinging to his pronouncements. Not one. Blindly following and believing
in a cause is the same, no matter who or what you use as your mythical rally
point.
meaningless ceremonial posturings of many (most?) organized religionsThat would be true. So, what is this "truth"? Belief in an all-powerful

fail to recognize that the _truth_ is never determined by majority
vote.
yet completely invisible entity? Belief that this invisible entity has
supernatural powers? Just EXACTLY how is this different from a child
believing in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, or the Easter Bunny? I'm sure
you did at one time. How did that work out for you? Long term?
At the end of our earthly days, there is a _truth_ to be faced. TheTrue enough. But why worry so much about that? You can't even understand
how a million years of records "are". Or how a 50-million year old fossil
got that way. How does that possibly equip your mental facilities to
understand something as esoteric as each one of our final good-bye's?
question is: will you act upon the most popular beliefs - or will youWell, that's one of 'em. Just like AGW is a "belief", so is "belief" in an

all-powerful, vengeful, tooth-fairy on steroids. Like I said, you're
welcome to them. You clinging to that or anything else is no sweat off of
my ass--right up to the point where you try to bend me and mine to your
specious exercise of will in that regard. In the end, without benefit of
any kind of intellectual compass, you're the one that's going to go to your
end of times bereft of the real knowledge mankind carries.
You and folks like you, well meaning to be sure, will never understand the
power that we each have within. Too small to comprehend such a capability,
you have to look outside to others. Rituals, superstitions, self-important
men dressed in robes wearing pointy hats and muttering dire imprecations
have replaced your own, innate connection to that spark within each of us.
You will never understand the impact and sustaining power of the "remnants"
with whom you live. Sad, that...
