This POV rejects crucial fundamentals, replacing them with all kinds of horrors. The worse implication inherent in this POV is the notion that Man can't analyze a given issue well enough to reach either all or even key truths of the issue at hand; even if he could, Man would do everything in his power to evade these truths to assert his evil, "base-instincts." He has no freewill, no tools of cognition, no way to control his need to dominate, exert force, destroy, etc, and Reality is such that even if he had such abilities, they couldn't be exercised.

So let me see if I get this correctly - and putting it within the frame work of this thread, i.e. Global Warming.
When I say the issue requires a balanced study, you reject that and accept the IPCC report as irrefutable truth - and accept no other viewpoint as valid?
Or you completely refute the IPCC report because GW isn't happening at all, to any degree and thus shouldn't even be looked at and Global Climate doesn't even need to be studied because we already know everything there is to know about it. There is in fact no middle ground on any issue at all because you KNOW the right answers for all things already and there can be no new knowledge?
Funny, you equate me with Soros when in fact I'm quite the opposite. I believe it is people like me that keep governments or other groups from imposing their one sided unbalanced ideas and rules on others. I would think that quiet clear based on the body of my postings here on SailNet. Yet somehow you and you alone gain the opposite opinion.
Funnier still, I see you as more 'Soros like' (based on your explanation of what that might mean) than anyone I know because you are so certain that your way is not only the right way, but is the natural way if only us poor uneducated folks would listen.
Life is indeed funny ain't it.
