1. “It seems to me that you like many people like you have you priorities mixed up.”
   Of course it seems that way to you. That’s because your belief system is devoid of rational thought Alby.
   To you a death in a seasonal storm is the same as a soldier killed by a roadside bomb. You are equating two things that are not equal.
   A murder is not the same as an accident. They are different in motive, in cause, in effect, in remedy, in every way they can be, yet you assert they are the same.
   That’s not rational. It cannot be argued with because argument requires rationality. Logic. Agreement on the meaning of the words being used.
   M’kay?
   By the way, NDP just lost in Sask. Seems a lot of people have my mixed up priorities, eh? What a world!

2. “Of course it seems that way to you. That’s because your belief system is devoid of rational thought Alby.”
   Rational thought would tell you that the right-wing-nuts are focusing on the wrong threat. I think focusing on the problem with the higher death toll would be the logical problem to focus on. Of course when it comes to choosing between saving somebody’s life to fix a problem and killing somebody to fix a problem, you can always count on a redneck to choose the latter.
   “To you a death in a seasonal storm is the same as a soldier killed by a roadside bomb. You are equating two things that are not equal.”
   No they are not the same, but the soldier chooses to be there. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people being killed around the world don’t get to make that choice.
   “A murder is not the same as an accident. They are different in motive, in cause, in effect, in remedy, in every way they can be, yet you assert they are the same.”
   So in your mind, when does ignoring climate change stop becoming an “accident” and start becoming negligence causing death? Remember what I said, one hundred fifty thousand killed every year since the year 2000 as stated by the W.H.O.. So that means by this next September 11 there will have been one million fifty thousand deaths since 9/11/2001 related to global warming compared to what, 10,000 max killed by Islamic terror attacks since 1990 (not including the American terror attacks on Iraqis)?

   Start using some then!

   That’s nice, what a bunch of prairie rednecks do with their provincial vote is no concern of mine. I live in NDP country of Manitoba, and this summer I’m moving to Ontario, Liberal country. To me Saskatchewan is nothing more than a place to get gas on my way to Vancouver Island.
