Australia is facing a controversy that is all too familiar to Americans. Fundamentalists in state schools are teaching children that humans and dinosaurs lived together and Noah brought dinosaur eggs on to the Ark.
Children are also taught that Adam and Eve were not eaten by dinosaurs “because they were under a protective spell.”
This is consistent with Palintology — the new science advanced by Sarah Palin — which insists that man and dinosaur must have co-existed despite carbon dating and simple logic.

Blouise I am sure the Bushes are at their home in Kennebunkport.
=========================================================

Blouise I am sure the Bushes are at their home in Kennebunkport.

Blouise,
We we together today, I seem to remember be alone most of the day, were you here and I was not aware. You mean they have sun in the North…wow, since when?
==============================================================
I come and go like the wind … watch your mouth, buster … oh hell, I know your mind and that was a perfect setup.
Yes, we have sun but, and this is very important … we have NO Bushes in Crawford, Ohio … not a one …
AY Blouise would not be in the sun here. It is way too hot. You must have been dreaming she was here.
Wasn’t some of Africa part of the Dutch at one time or another…I seem to recall that they may still have Island interest…but I could be wrong about that too Swarthmore mom…I have been very much wrong in a lot of areas. So who knows.
I did just get through reading about Gorilla Glass, it is coming to a TV near you soon….I am sure about that… read Corning news release…..look at the ticker “GLW” its up 1.03.
All the oil companies are bad. It does not matter. BP was the “cleanest’ and look what happened. Exxon Mobil is in denial of global warming and is the most ardently opposed to climate change legislation. Shell is united with the Nigerian military government.
Blouise,

Slarti,
I too spent the day in the sun sanding furniture for about 6 hours and just got home from the gym. You are correct sir.
It is we don’t swim in your toilet, so please don’t pee in our pool…it was about 106.
… please excuse the typos in the previously post … too much time in the sun today
I have read all the posts but perhaps I missed something so that what I’m about to write has already been poster ;
A few minutes ago I listened to the President of the Fishermens Addoc. union … the discussion concerned financial problems, settlements, lawsuits etc. but he said something I found interesting.
Some of the shrimping areas have opened up but the processors are not willing to pay for the catches in that they don’t know if there will be a market for the product … or the are willing to buy “some” of the catch at a very reduced rate until it can be established whether or not the public will be willing to buy anything out of the gulf.
I suppose that explains the comment I overheard the other night at dinner. A patron asked her server if the shrimp in the shrimp cocktail was from the Gulf because if it was she didn’t want it. He told her he would have to ask the chef.
The problems you all are discussing are important but what happens to the industry in the Gulf if public perception is as tainted as it, at the present, seems to be?
On that same note … the BP station at the corner has not had any customers in weeks and weeks. They even went so far as erecting a sign informing drivers that theirs was an independant, locally owned business and not owned by BP. I talked to one of the owners the other day and he told me the sign had no impact at all. He has no idea how long he can remain open.
AY,
Shouldn’t that be: “We don’t swim in your toilet…” 😉
Elaine M.,
I remember a sign I once saw at an El Paso Hotel or Motel Pool that said: “We don’t pee in your toilet so don’t pee in our pool.” I remember this from almost 45 years ago.
Docusate sodium is a common laxative.
Maybe thats why they were bleeding out the ass.

Any damage almost certainly came from the crude. The only ingredients in Corexit 9500A, beside petroleum products, are non-toxic compounds used in common household products. For example, propylene glycol is used as a solvent for medications that are injected. Docusate sodium is a common laxative.

“The Material Safety Data Sheet for Corexit that was filed with the MMS states that the effects of contact on humans can be “acute”. It’s poisonous, it will kill you.”
The only toxic components in Corexit 9500A are the petroleum products. You are adding a little petroleum (1:26) to get the benefit of lowering the concentration of crude in a specific area.
The human toxicity is due to the aerosol in high concentrations. Workers have to be protected. You would never breath gasoline for a long time.
TraderB,
“Well, I’m a scientist and I’ve discussed Popper in reference to the scientific method many times on this blog – considering that we’re on a thread about creationism and the lack of falsifiability is the key flaw in so-called ‘creation science’, I think you have your example.”
I agree that creation science is not science for that reason, also.
Bdaman,
The tax doesn’t have to be worldwide, you just need to have a pollution tariff on all imports. If the US said ‘we’re not buying products that result in pollution’ (or you’re not going to get paid as much for them) I wonder how long it would take to reduce worldwide pollution to next to nothing?
Lottakatz,
It’s a wonder that so many people seem to be in the pro-bleeding out your ass camp…
The Material Safety Data Sheet for Corexit that was filed with the MMS states that the effects of contact on humans can be “acute”. It’s poisonous, it will kill you. It defies common sense as well as logic that dumping half a million gallons+ of it in a sensitive ecosystem isn’t going to do serious damage to some aspect of it over some period of time. To echo a previous poster, didn’t everyone read the articles about cleanup workers having health problems including bleeding from their rectums?
Effects of Corexit showing up along the Gulf in the human population? (different article)
