Internal consistency is important for you. I get that. But good luck with it. One person making decisions, maybe 90% of decisions are truly internally consistent and 10% of the time you're fooling yourself. Two people, 75% internal consistency and you're the dominant personality. 3, 4, 5 people you just start beating the shit out of each other if you want internal consistency. And I'm sure you know what the alternatives are. If you've ever administered anything with open decision making, you know you make progress where you can, when you can, with what's available to you at the time.

Going way back to before the crash on this forum, my takeaway lesson number one from the Chocolate Mountain test is that if you complain about personal freedom in this country you're just whining. Lesson number two is that if you're not a hypocrite, you're copping out and running away. Because its complicated and messy.

I don't know what these 2 gentlemen are doing , but it looks like fun.


I don't know if it is the stomp or the bullet casing flying that excites me more.
I gotta get me one of those shirts.

Looks like their playing Airsoft to me. The Arpaio nut hanger isn't wearing a mask though. Probably training exercise.
 
So it appears that I was right all along. At least if you assume that the left wing environmentalists reflect the views of the Democratic Party. Do they? I'm not sure, but Hillary Clinton opposes a carbon tax. (As does Trump.)

I think its the US Marshals wearing infiltration gear and practicing a dry run to take Arpaio into custody. Dead or alive old man, you're coming with me.

Better wear a cup if coming after me.
He is nearing the end of his career but he has served his country well, only if everyone could be as useful to their country as he has.
True American Hero. All in spite of crazy left wing nut jobs like Wezdumb trying unsuccessfully to take him down.

Lol, this story literally defines the right...

"Reagan said the woman had 80 names, 30 addresses and 12 Social Security cards which she used to get food stamps along with more than her share of money from Medicaid and other welfare entitlements. He said she drove a Cadillac, didn’t work and didn’t pay taxes. He talked about this woman, who he never named, in just about every small town he visited, and it tended to infuriate his audiences. The story solidified the term “Welfare Queen” in American political discourse and influenced not only the national conversation for the next 30 years, but public policy as well. It also wasn’t true.

Sure, there have always been people who scam the government, but no one who fit Reagan’s description ever existed. The woman most historians believe Reagan’s anecdote was based on was a con artist with four aliases who moved from place to place wearing disguises, not some stay-at-home mom surrounded by mewling children.

Despite the debunking and the passage of time, the story is still alive. The imaginary lady who Scrooge McDives into a vault of foodstamps between naps while hardworking Americans struggle down the street still appears every day on the Internet. The memetic staying power of the narrative is impressive. Some version of it continues to turn up every week in stories and blog posts about entitlements even though the truth is a click away."

You come up with 4% of 0.04
Right in line with the 3% of 0.04 I posted.

Not sure what you mean by 4% of 0.04. That would by 0.0004. 4% (4/100) is equivalent to 0.04. Raw numbers, normalized to a %, expressing the % out of total or % of the change, not sure how any change in perspective that may be associated with putting it one way or another means much. That's all just value association based around a number. Ratio of sources to sinks, that's the only thing that matters with respect to the dynamics of the system. At least for me.

You know what I mean.
Total percentage of c02 in the atmosphere 0.04 - the contributions from God.

In other words, the total c02 in the atmosphere being 0.04%
Man made c02 roughly 3 to 4% of the 0.04%
