Posted 21 Mar 2009 · Report post My love for humanity prevents me from wishing anyone freezes to death in their own, ice-bound, Taggart tunnel.Really.My valuation for the few who really deserve the title of human due to the consistent exercise of their brains leads me to the opposite conclusion: actual humanity would be far, far better off if every viro nutcase attempted to hike to the North Pole during the winter - certainly the polar bears they profess so much concern for wouldn't go hungry.

Posted 21 Mar 2009 · Report post Is it just me, or does it seem a stupid idea to HIKE to the North Pole during the winter!?The Earth has already warmed so much that the North Pole in the winter is about the only place where temperatures are still suitable for humans. Anyone who says otherwise is a Thermocaust denier funded by the oil companies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
