Please, tell me that.

Please tell me you can't be that naive...

"THE CONCERTS FOR A CLIMATE IN CRISIS"

That's really all you need to know about it's political aim.

[Renotrigger]

Whose Politics? That's what I want to know.
United States', United Kingdom's, Japan's, South Africa's, China's, Austalia's, Brazil's, or Germany's.
It's enviromental Awareness.
Does this mean there is no Enviromental Problems.

Oh boy...

The producer of these events specifically went to Al Gore instead of some other political whack job. No other talking head could have done as good of a job as Al Gore did in stating that HE was doing this for the environment and that it was HIS idea to get these concerts done all around the world.

BTW if you don't think that Al Gore will announce in the next few weeks that he is making another run at the Presidency then you are naive. What better way is there to turn some thing that should be about our world and coming together to force changes than to announce that it was your idea and oh by the way I am running for president.


AS for the worst act I have seen it was a band in New York....'Taking back Sunday' or some crap like that. They sucked worse than 'Wolfmother'.

[DiabloTX]

"And it was only hours before the Washington DC concert was scheduled to begin that organizers were able to secure a venue for the last-minute addition to the schedule. The Washington Post reported the U.S. capital had been Gore's first choice for the main concert, but the National Mall was booked, and even an Act of Congress wasn't enough to keep Republican opponents from blocking attempts by Democratic lawmakes to secure a venue."

Yup, no politics to be found anywhere...

I'm altogether not sure why there is this denial..this venom..directed at anyone who considers the environment important. I'm not talking about the wackjobs that go around preaching tree hugging and free love..  I'm more speaking to the backlash against those who are doing the actual work, the actual science.  

It's almost like the backlash that happened when doctors first started declaring smoking bad for your health.  

Any report you see that declares any sort of deniability on climate change is pre-eminently funded by an industry that would benefit from a business as usual attitude.  The oil industry, for example, is giving ANY scientist who will stand up and cast doubt on the real science a "signing bonus".  Can't anyone understand that policy cannot be made, nor real science performed, if the mechanism is funded by those who would directly profit from one course of action?

Science does not answer to policy.  We answer only to the understanding of an issue.

Wake up.  It's the same thing the tobacco industry did when they saw their profit margin about to get undercut.

It's because the tree hugging whackjobs are the face of the movement.   I think there are very very few people that are saying "screw the environment, it's all bout me."  I think the backlash is aimed at the nutjobs and whackos yelling that the sky is falling at every turn.

Jessie James at least had the common courtesy of using a gun.
It`s all about the money.
Science, like everything else nowadays answers to the tune of the allmighty buck.
If you`ve got the money honey, I`ve got the time. (Willie)

Wow.  Do you work in a science field?... because I do.  We sure as hell don't live in mansions there genius.  My annual salary is surpassedby more occupations than you could probably name.... I'm in it cuz I love it... not for the money.  There isn't a rich scientist around.  Yes, sometimes we work with expensive equipment, yet more likely there is a much easier way to get data, without expense.  

Saying that science is for hire.....lol.  I wish it wasn't true for a small minority, the ones the oil company gives "bonuses" to for attempting to create a doubt on climate change, and it being a causal, homo sapien event.  

As for the rest of us, we show up for work only for the love of it.  You would do well to visit my workplace sometime.  You may have a slight change of heart.

If not, I'll pass.

Yep that is good stuff, and all of the other pre-Trick of the Tail albums, but they remain a great live show without Gabriel.


and I think Trick of the Tail is one of their best.

No argument from me.  I'm just a little burned out on the Collins-era Genesis.

No suh. I have never sold out on anything.

My condolences.

"We"? You represent the whole shabang there Alfred?

O.J. is innocent I tell you!

Genesis were ok....wolfmother have always been overrated...I thought Cat Steven's Peace Train was good, but the best was an aussie band The John Butler Trio or the Foo Fighters

I liked the Foo Fighters yesterday also and I have heard of the John Butler Trio but never heard one of their songs. I need to see if I can find a few to get a line on them to add to the play list (legally) and see if I like them. I did like the research scientist band Nanutak (sp?) that played in Antarctica.

Moray - This argument isn't about the environment. I think that we need to do something BUT and yes its a big one. Not one of the statements they put out where anything new or more useful than what had been preached about before. It was just Al Gores launchpad to the run for 08.

So that mean you have no idea what your talking about Jackal1, which in turn negates anything you've said....lol.
Because O.J. is innocent in the eyes of the law and that's all that really matters in the end. Reguardless what anyone else thinks. Sorry.
