Canada has offered aid and is willing to do what it can. We feel for the people affected and pray for all of them.

Just goes to show in the big picture of things how life can change so quickly.

Count your blessings.

According to the Vostoc ice core studies, at about 140,000 years ago, the climate was about 6 C colder than it is today - an ice age period.

Then at about 130,000 years ago, there was a quite rapid warming period until about 125,000 years ago, when the climate was, perhaps, 1 C or 2 C warmer than today - an inter-glacial period. From 120,000 to about 20,000 years ago, there was a long period of cooling temperatures, known as the last Great Ice Age.

From about 18,000 or 19,000 years ago to about 15,000 years ago, the climate went through another warming period to the next inter-glacial, - the one we are now in.

I don't think America or another nations for that matter, was around during the period from 130,000 to 125,000 years ago. Who caused that global warming.

The whole Kyoto reasoning is based on junk science done by the envioronmental extreamists.

Dear Bev,


UH HUH!

Grubstake, I suppose you and all your liberal friends say Bush created the hurricane. You people are just as bad as the trolls!! The President and Congress are doing their best to help those poor souls in Louisiana and Mississippi. It will take time and effort from everyone to do all that needs to be done. Join your liberal friends and bash our President and blame it on him if that pleases you. But most true Americans will join together and do all we can to help those people out of the dire situation they are in. You are no better than the trolls who have been spreading the garbage on this forum the past two weeks!!!

Dear Hithere
I know you mean well but I do believe they were asking for prayers and not trying to make this a political thread. Please unless you have lived there and know the people try to restrict youself to the right place to do this. I myself have been around the world three times now and it is funny even though most people speak a different language we are all the same. And people do take offense when you say things about they're country or its leaders. I won't say anything bad about your country if you don't say anything bad about mine. I am proud to be an American when any nation on this planet gets itself into trouble who are the first ones they come to? Yup the good ole USA.

The fact is, that the US is debating the wisdom of making another failure agreement with other countries. All the free trade agreements have been outright abused by those countries agreeing to limit their influx of goods to the quotas. It has cost Americam businesses in the extreme. Most have had to close up shop because the influx of goods was stealing their market and they could not afford to sell under overhead costs. And lets face it, why be in business without a profit?

We have been trying to help the world grow and develope by these means but it has already hurt us greatly. But you won't hear the truth of record job losses as when an unemployed worker runs out of unemployment benefits, he/she is taken off the list of unemployed. And that is a fact. New replacement employment(so called) are low mostly minimum wage or factory work, burger joints or other low paying jobs by the comparison of what was available before the free trade agreements. And that is just the beginning of sgreements that have gone sour for the US. The reason you won't hear the truth is completely political reasons, voting tendancies of the American people and how the parties like to manipulate for a vote. And I hate to say it, but Bush didn't respond to the New Orleans disaster until the victims got on the public news and complained about not getting any help. I would have thought that the national reserves would have been placed there to help out as usual.

Now back to the reason for the topic, Bush agreed to giving $10 mil for aid to the disaster in New Orleans, but one man alone gave $5 mil, so it makes the government look kind of stengy. And folks, that is but a drop in the bucket for what is needed. It is a complete disaster there. They must rebuild the whole place practically, not to mention put up the victims in decent living conditions until that time of building completion or readiness. US can give a lot more to their own, but it does strike rather oddly that they didn't. I am glad that other countries are helping and that there is a movement from the actors' guild to help as well as other important associations.

My prayers go out to the victims and pray they get a speedy recovery.

I believe you'll find that Bush said $10 billion with a B. He also said that's just a start. I think you'll also find if you research it that he responded even before the hurricant struck. And it's the governor of states that are in charge of the National Guard, so don't blame Bush for not sending in the National Guard. That's not his job. He did send in the regular armed forces to help.

Tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM myself and convoy of other Truckers will leave Jacksonville,FL along with a police escort, channel 12 TV station and Congresswomen Corrine Brown. We will be hauling food water, dipers, clothes and other essential items. Just so you know FEMA is playing a very big Political Game and won't let any trucks deliver their goods,so this is the reason for the convoy. I think we will get through don't you? I'll give an update when I get back. Bless the survisors. Gator
