The whole concept of understanding yourself and others, reading verbal and nonverbal social cues; if it's all a big lie then wouldn't that make Tom Cruise correct about psychiatry? I mean, c'mon! Isn't that the same "scam" that psychiatry tries to pull? That somehow they can "teach" people how to better manage their emotional state and read the verbal and nonverbal cue of others?

We can argue if any of Mystery's techniques are effective, true, but I don't think we can just assume his entire concept that there is a "good" and "bad" way to interact with people is wrong.

Obviously some convertional techniques work better than others.

Salon seems to only mention Edwards when they are off-handedly mentioning that other people of running for the Democratic nomination.

“Edwards, Gravel and some other guys are also running for the nomination. Now let’s spend the next six pages talking about why we love Hillary!”

C’mon Salon.

Edwards has a CLEAR message and a CLEAR agenda.

Yes, I know. You like Hillary. Maybe it would be even fair to say you’re obsessed with Hillary though she has neither said nor done anything even remotely interesting. True, she got into a game of semantics with Obama a while back, but that’s about has “earthshaking” as her little campaign has gotten.

She’s running solely on her name.

One more time: outside of her NAME would any of us consider her political accomplishments more noteworthy than, say, any of the other candidates?

Shall we compare Hillary’s political accomplishments to Dennis Kucinnich?

No? Because she, basically, hasn’t had any significant political accomplishments?

Okay. Fine. Let’s compare Hillary’s speeches to the D man.

What’s that? The ultimate triangulator has NEVER said anything remotely interesting, progressive or controversial? She’s too afraid of upsetting ANYONE (especially corporate America) so her entire political platform begins and ends with “I love America. Yea!” Not much of an inspirational candidate, is she?

Yes, Salon, Hillary has the last name Clinton. That doesn’t mean she should automatically be given 6 pages of coverage every single day nor does it mean she should automatically be the Democratic nominee.

“I was married to Bill Clinton! Don’t look at my political accomplishments – I was married to Bill Clinton!”

She was married to an actual politician with a lengthy political career filled with actual accomplishments.

But she ain’t done !#@$

Clearly the liberal cabal that controls Salon.com is once again trying to resort to scare tactics and mis-information to advance their radical eco-agenda.

Fact: climate change has been conclusively proven to be a “hoax” orchestrated by Al Gore and former members of the old Communist Part, therefore there is no plastic bag “crisis” and there is no need whatsoever to change any of our daily habits.

The anti-plastic bag lobby is a 6 trillion(!) a year industry – so the vast majority of misinformation and scare tactics that you see in the liberal media isn’t motivated by facts or science. It’s all about money! I can’t exactly explain the economics, but it’s just common knowledge that a small group of liberals (somewhere) are making millions of dollars out of pushing this fringe theory that somehow plastic bags are “hurting” our environment.

There is no peer-reviewed science article anywhere that suggests that plastic bags have ANY impact on our environment!

America needs to wake up and realize that the anti-plastic bag cabal control by George Soros and Moveon.org are nothing more than front groups for radical communists that are plotting to take over this country!

Next these radical fringe elitist liberals will be claiming that DDT is somehow “harmful” to the environment or that too much mercury in fish may cause birth defects!

Once these radicalized liberals scare the public into give up their freedoms they will be able to push through extreme Marxist inspired regulations such as increased regulation of the Beef Industry to ensure that our meat isn’t full of disease!

These radicals must be stopped!

zzz05 wrote the following FACT sheet to help educate some of you sheeple who have been tricked into believing Al Gore's lies re: plastic bags. Better read it fast before George Soros and Moveon.org use their buddies in the media to take these FACTS down that dispell the lies of the radical eco-extremists:

1) There is no real evidence that plastic bags are accumulating.

2) If they are accumulating, it is most likely a natural process which has been going on for billions of years rather than the efforts of puny mankind.

3) There is evidence that plastic bags are accumulating on other planets. What do you think Saturn's rings are made of?

4) There is no evidence that the accumulatiion of plastic bags will actually be harmful. They may actually be helpful. For instance, small bunnies can use them for shelter. Why do environmentalists want to hurt small bunnies? They are worse than Hitler.

5) Even if the increasing accumulation of plastic bags is harmful, it will undoubtedly destroy the economy to stop the process, and the rational approach is to adapt to it.

Wake up sheeple! The liberals are just trying to scare you with this faux plastic bag crisis so they can ram through their insane environmental agenda --- like reducing the amount of plastic bags in the world!

I'd rather die then live in a world without sea turtles suffocating in plastic bags -- that's the America I grew up with and that's the America I will defend!

Vote Republican in 2008!

(Or don't. We've rigged the machines to vote Republican anyway for your convenience. In fact, don't vote. It screws up the machines if you try to cast a vote when we've already recorded it 6 months earlier.)
