I never saw HP: HPB in iMAX like I wanted to. Chalk it up to ten dollars for one movie just not being fiscally responsible. And now it's out on DVD. ~___~
And why do people keep calling it.... 'climate-gate'. What do gates have to do with it. I never knew why it was called watergate, either. Obviously I need to research more.
On the issue though, I've been of two minds about it. There's one: Humans like to fuck up things and have been doing so for millenia. It's not that inconceivable that we ruined the atmosphere by being douches and not curbing how much poison we put into the place we live, whether ignorantly or purposefully for greed purposes. [Whatever happened to that hole in the o-zone layer?] And then there's two: we're one species, and while we've done a lot to change our environment to suit us, are we so bigheaded to think we changed the world on our own? That the earth isn't going on spinning around as usual and we have nothing to do with what happens as far as climate?
Eh. *shrugs* Though a lot of people pointing fingers at Al Gore for getting the hype up about global warming and us being the blame, did he know it wasn't real? You'd think, 'presidential candidate should know what for, eh?' but he might not have known about the lies either. I haven't seen any proof in those e-mails that he knew -though someone feel free to correct me- so he might have more egg on his face than the rest of us anyhow. How many of those scientists didn't want it to be known that nothing was really wrong because they might lose funding? Hrmmm.
Oh well.
Another thing that amuses me isn't Tiger Wood's situation, but the fact all of these 'experts' and people 'in the know' come out of nowhere to try and give him advice. Leave the man alone. He doesn't owe any of us an explanation. Good lord, he has enough shit to deal with without completely uninvolved people breathing down his neck for facts that aren't any of their business.
My real question is, are police reports, mugshots, ect, SUPPOSED to be on public record? How do reporters and such get that information? Informants? Do they just go to the station/library and browse through mugshots? Do they get sold to the highest bidder? What is it? Seems like an invasion of privacy to me, especially if it happened on your own private property.
