gary you become pathetic in your affects on California's renowned journalistic bastion
i don't care about others. the Times has quite a checkered past and present, for that matter. still, it's the main source for "News" here in LA. it's pretty pathetic for someone from far across the globe to think that he knows more about the local paper than a man who's not only lived with it for nearly 50 years, but has even studied it's history. it's not that there's nothing true in the Times, obviously there is plenty that's true in the Times. there's a whole lot of spin as well and even some out and out falsehoods. believe whatever you want. those figures aren't correct. is there even a mention of exactly how the people were sampled and how those sample results were extrapolated to the whole population? that's why things like polls are used to make such a stupid story, the results are opinions that can't be sued over easily.
but hey, people are pretty ignorant these days. they call spanish speakers "native speakers" and no one even stops to think about the fact that spanish is NOT the native language here in California, or in Mexico and that Mexico got it's independance from the heir the the Austrian(hello, Germany!) throne, not Spain....
way to change the subject. how do you explain the end of the little ice age happening exactly when global warming was supposed to begin? how do you explain the stupid title of this thread when the last decade was far from the warmest in earth's history, or even human history, when in the middle ages Europe was so warm that people only built their hearths outside the home and Greenland and Iceland were rich farming lands?
bring something real to the discussion, not just someone's lies made for children and the ignorant.
