[Vo]:The Washington Times does not attack cold fusion
Continuing yesterday's theme of mass media non-attacks, here is a mention of cold fusion in a Washington Times book review: http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/11/recognizing-the-struggle-for-what-it-is/a This is an article about the conflict between the West and some radical Muslim movements. The Washington Times is a conservative newspaper. QUOTE: There is no better argument for alternative energy than the beneficial effect such technologies would have on U.S. national security. If cold fusion or some other inexpensive and unlimited energy source were invented tomorrow, the Middle East could return to being the cultural and political backwater it was for centuries. I do not think this is intended to be irony or sarcasm. I wrote to the author. I must say, I disagree with the sentiments expressed. I can think of lots of more compelling arguments for alternative energy, such as the fact that it would save tens of thousands of lives every week and prevent global warming. Marginalizing some anti-western groups in Arab countries would also be a benefit, but small in comparison. In any case, I hope the Middle Eastern oil-producing nations are not marginalized, or turned into a cultural backwater. That does seem likely, but I hope instead that they benefit as much from cold fusion as much as anyone else, and also from a renaissance in science. Naturally, I hope the end of petro-dollars will reducing funding for terrorism! But I do not blame Middle Eastern nations because they happen to be sitting on a lot of oil and we have made them extremely wealthy. I think that was a misguided thing to do but it was our fault, not theirs. - Jed

I've sending letters to Amy Klobuchar, our Senator, and our Representative Keith Ellison. Senator Klobuchar is on some committee which is charged with cleaning up the environment. As for Rep Ellison, well he's the right color. In my last letter I told her that if we could double the fuel efficiency of the automotive fleet, we could stop importing oil. Nothing's happened, why am I not surprised? We right wingers have this idea that the leftists are attempting to collapse the American economy. It's stupid behavior like which makes us believe this. .

Baloney, they support terrorism because of Islam's desire to impose Sahriah Law on the entire world, and what the Qu'ran says about dying in jihad,. --- Get FREE High Speed Internet from USFamily.Net! -- http://www.usfamily.net/mkt-freepromo.html ---
