    I never thought that a company who\’s product I have installed in my car as a sound deadener would also be devising ways to interrupt hurricanes.

    I am not a tree hugger by any shape or form; but, it seems we better really know what we\’re doing when we start trying to change the weather! The old saying is, \”Don\’t mess with Mother Nature.\” We could learn that messing with forces that have as great impact on the environment as the weather for the comfort, convenience and prevention of \’relatively small\’ loss to the human race as a whole could potentially be regretable.

    More wisdom from http://www.prisonplanet.com:
    \”…experts suggest [the 9/11 attacks] may have been orchestrated by elements within the administration to manipulate Americans into supporting policies at home and abroad they would never have condoned absent \’another Pearl Harbor.\’\”

    Are sources like this really credible? What\’s next, how the face on Mars effects claims resolution?

    My understanding is that \”gullible\” means someone that will agree to a position out-of-hand, without first substantiating supporting evidence relating to that position. Simply throwing out a quote of a claim from someone (without an accompanying examination of their supporting \’evidence\’, which this really isn\’t the place for anyway) and then using that to \”prove\” that this someone is clearly not a reliable source for a wholly different claim isn\’t exactly scholarship, just so you know.

    As a note, I\’ve seen what I now think might possibly have been cloud-seeding, for the past year or so. I like to go for walks at lunch, and bird-watch, etc. There\’s been days when I\’ve seen planes dropping a persistent contrail (ones that don\’t fade like most contrails), and they\’ve \”fanned out\” over time, with clouds forming around them. A sunny, blue day has turned cloudy by my afternoon walk, but only when I saw those trails dropped in the morning. I always wondered how that might have happened, and now maybe there\’s an explanation.

    (I should look up to see where their testing plants are…)
