Of course, you know what our answer will be (well, they&#8217;re slightly different, but actually come to the same thing &#8211; a difference of methodology). And of course you know the chance of the Academy actually doing it &#8211; somewhere between none and none (slim not even applicable in this case). Alas, Al Gore will go to his grave a VERY wealthy man for his highly unscientific endeavors. And he probably sleeps well too. Whoever said life was just? But please enjoy the POLIWOOD. Your comments, as always, welcome. Unlike Al, Lionel and I will debate the subject with anyone. (One at a time, please.)]]>Thu, 03 Dec 2009 08:45:09 -0500<![CDATA[Roger L.
