Sounds good. You do understand that usually some time passes between first suspicion and sufficient likelihood to drop a dime, right? Yes, that's what I was saying. Good catch.

Shouldn't be hard to work out. I imagine something like authorization paperwork as part of the enrollment process, and a "well-founded fear" standard for not informing parents. I rather suspect that such things have actually been worked out years ago, and are in place in most schools, and are...

Who haven't read and don't understand the source material. Kinda like "Constitutionalists" down hereabouts.

The Brits have a thing. If you feel your rights have been violated by the cops, you can go the whole "hire a lawyer and sue for millions" route, Or you can file a complaint, have it heard by a review board, and they'll toss you 500 pounds if you're upheld. Done and dusted. No solicitors...

They incited. . . traffic and parking violations. Hang 'em, sez I. Hang 'em with a new rope!

Yep. Arguing from extremes. The left says "If a poor widdle trans kid trusts a teacher, they'll be RATTED OUT to far-right Catholic Nazi parents who will TORTURE THEM TO DEATH!" Just like the left says "Any limits on abortion will cause mother and foetus to die even when every doctor in the...

I just deliver the pizzas. But I admire lawyers. It's a hard field to get into. You seem to think that lawyers are under some obligation to tell the truth. They're not, any more than anybody else.

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Moderation is for monks. Easy answer. The market. People need more electrical power, companies build out generation and distribution capacity, people give them money for the power. How'd "planning" work for the Soviet Union?

Well, we can clear-cut Canada for a start. And real conservatives LOVE pumping CO2 into the atmosphere! And lead, And sulphur. What are you, some kind of greenie tree-hugging True Dope Liberal voter? Like your men manly and your women as just good friends?

No, I'm referring to heating oil. I'll allow it. Petroleum product. Closer case, but it is generally classed a "petroleum product." Growing up in OK, saw gas flares everywhere. Wonder how many billions of dollars they burned off as useless. Not sure, to be honest. Is propane a petroleum...

The rat race, of course. Now, now. I think you mean "certain cultures." Geography's got nothing to do with it.

Yes, and everybody knows the only way to get affordable heat is to burn oil.

If you hate gays, yes.

Hardly surprising. The largest investors in alternate energy is the oil & gas industry. Unlike some of our members, they're not romantically entangled with petroleum. They're romantically entangled with money.

Yeah, that's the "decent" part. Tend the garden that you seeded Be a friend when a friend is needed And you won't have to look the other way --Keeper of the Castle, The Four Tops

Yep, you can always trust lawyers to tell the unvarnished, objective truth.

Decent of you.

Brits are good at tugging the forelock even after it's long gone.

Right. He actually said "don't be too nice."

China will do what China wants to do. There is little or nothing Canada, or anybody else, can do about that. But if Canada cuts its emissions and China doesn't, that's still a net of less emissions globally. Then the question becomes "What tools to we have to encourage/influence/force China...
