well yes, you are right ... but at the moment I keep seeing people not even prepared to think about whether that tool could be useful ...


It seems to me like the house is falling down ... and we've got people here who are saying - the walls are still standing - so what if there's a drip from the roof when it rains?

but the thing is we needed hammer and nails to build our house - if we picked up the hammer we might be able to repair the roof, and start looking around to fix other problems before our house falls to pieces ...

but we have to be prepared to pick up the hammer ... otherwise the whole thing WILL come crashing down around our ears ... OK ... maybe not OUR ears - maybe our children's ears ... but when I was a kid I learnt that a stitch in time saves nine ... and it will be easier for us to start repairing the house now rather than leave it to the kids who will have to replace the entire roof ... when the job might really be too big to deal with.

It may be geographic. We don’t have pollution in Florida which gives us a different mindset, we don’t even have emission testing for cars…
The photos paraded in front of you were stagiest. It’s only double digit cities that even have pollution, that’s out of millions around the world.

I would never trust the bureaucratic institution to do anything but use science to further destroy the planet. Science might indeed have potential to do wonderful things, but the elites will never ever use science to do anything but enrich themselves.
