If you wanna talk logic, it was actually many emails traded between multiple researchers over a period of time discussing how data could be or should be "adjusted" to make their claims more plausible.

The actual first mention I heard of the "global warming agenda" was a radio interview I caught about 5yrs ago with one of the initial researchers for a study the US govt. had funded. He summed it up in saying they had been given the result their research had to arrive at prior to even having undertaken the study and were told if their results ran contrary to the findings the govt wanted from their studies they'd find future funding for their research projects severely curtailed, if indeed they managed to get funded at all. That smacks much more heavily of agenda driven jiggery pokery in my eyes than it resembles anything like "good science".

This frugal conservative has a small car that gets 35mpg and a mini van for my shop when I need its capabilities, none of the toys you mentioned, unless you wanna consider a riding mower and weedeater as such (and no I ain't givin up the ridin mower so I can push mow 2 acres!), my commute is 43 steps from the front door of my cozy lil 2BR/2BA house to a shop filled with tools and shop equipment collected over the past 30+yrs., I save and resell my aluminum, steel and cast iron, and although I eat enough jalapenos to satisfy many households desire for them still see this lifestyle adding up as very conservative all in all.

My toys consist of computers with nice big monitors, audio and video excesses in files and DVDs .... and sound systems rock on

I'm in agreement that far too many people drive trucks, SUVs, Crown Vics and such, typically with one or 2 folks aboard when a small car would be a more reasonable approach and just as surely there are lots of other things that fall into the same categories of wastefulness and excess.

However, as a true capitalist, I feel like folks have the right to do whatever they feel comfortable financially in doing. I'm personally obviously not as successful a capitalist as some folks sad smiley
