mgrist,
Could everything that has been said by the government be a lie? Damn well could be. (You said)
That is probably true. Unfortunately when we find out one way or another it will be too late.
Pppssst! (in a whisper) Man made global warming is a lie. BUT IF IT'S NOT, I'm all for it. I really wish it was true. Be the best thing that has happened to the human race in a long time.
