So true. I'm buying up property in western MA.

With my luck, the poles will shift before the flood. HA!

No

Balanced (in the lexicon of todays newspeak usage) = presentation of any "opinion" as socially acceptable on a theory of all "opinons" are of positive value.

The Scientific method is not a balanced view based in socially acceptible opinions. It is a one sided, hardnosed view that tosses out opinions not rooted in varifiable measurement and calculation.

They said "half-life" either because they weren't thinking about their audience, or they were and thought "half-life" sounded more scientific. (I wasn't thinking about my audience.)

Or because it evokes scarey new-que-lar images...

Does this mean my "Ocean Front" property in Colorado will be worth more than the mint it already is ;0) well it was oceanfront a few million years ago.

And as an added bonus, since the arctic wildlife cannot possibly adapt in time, we can all have polar bear rugs! Might as well go on & club those baby seals, too.

"...I have got that saved..."

Thanks.

And it isn't meant to be a slam. It applies to all of us, myself included, to one degree or another.
