....if the truth about climate change were easy, you'd think that would be clear to 95% of climate scientists. But then perhaps you have access to better sources of information. Perhaps you just happen to be the world's foremost climate scientist yourself. More likely. you don't know jack shit about the subject except that it feels inconvenient to you. Bill, if you want to rant and rave, why not explain what a 'climate scientist' is? Why don't you substitute in democrat? If not for grants and the cover of 'higher education', is climate scientologist a real job, other than being expert at submitting paperwork to renew the grants? You said you don't care about the educated. Why can't this massive welfare industry just be redistributed to plain old, regular poor folks? I'm a bit concerned, why doesn't Montana make all those fire breathing dually oil burners pass annual emissions inspections. Why aren't your creosote fired wood stoves and retail store plastic bags regulated for climate change? They're settling down a bit, but why doesn't your state move heaven and earth to put out those wildfires that spewed millions(more?) of tons of pollutants into the air that the poor breath and change their climate? cback, I dunno about that urban/rural division. I'd think by now, especially reading around these parts, you'd know that good ole boy that you chatted with back at the pickup after a satisfying bird hunt, could very well be a lock step party line dem. voter.

....As for taking the public's money, I must have misunderstood; all those years I showed up for work every day and saw my students improve their skills I somehow thought I earned that money. Could you tell how I didn't? I'm positive all your students have become productive, outstanding members of society. Who taught the ones that make Montana the highest suicide rate state? How did they learn to turn to alcohol and victimless recreational drugs?

Craig, yes there are climate scientists. They study climate across a span of disciplines. One in my town at the university here shared a Nobel prize with other members of his professional team a couple years ago. His name is Steven Running if you'd like to check out his work. As for putting out wildfires, it turns out it doesn't help. What doesn't burn today grows to more fuel tomorrow. You and CB would do us a big favor if you'd explain how human activity does not effect climate. C oal production from the Powder River Basin exceeds 450 million tons over the last decade. Burning coal releases not just CO2 but other choice chemicals like mercury. Perhaps you have conclusive evidence that mercury is good for us.

I do note that corporate profits are record high ,and that makes me understand those companies could pay better wages without hurting themselves. That statement is illogical. Corporations pay market rates to acquire and retain the talent they need to make the business successful. If they are not paying competitive rates, they don't get the best talent and profits suffer. If you want them to pay better rates "just because," that is socialism. California is moving that way, but that does not make it right, and there will be backlash. Note that Disneyland in Anaheim recently announced that they will stop accepting tax incentives from the city, so that the city cannot impose wage rates on the park. Other companies just pack up and leave the state.

Hey Bill, what about the Socialist billionaires. You skipped right over that. Talk about inconvenient. Facts are always inconvenient to Billy. No way will he discuss those Socialist billionaires. And we have seen that he isn't about to address those outright lies he told us earlier. He said that Corporations are conspiring to keep wages low. And he said that wages haven't risen in 20 years. But he refuses to admit that he lied to us, and can't possibly prove those statements. Billy has been caught telling lies and spreading dishonest DNC PROPAGANDA many times in the past. He'll engage you until you call him out on his lies, and then he thinks no one will notice it when he pretends to IGNORE your questions about his lies. And by the way... Billy certainly never earned his teacher's pay and benefits. Why, until I shamed him into getting someone to help him with a spell-checker on his computer, this English teacher's posts were laced with grammatical and spelling errors. An English teacher who can't spell certainly makes me happy that the U.S. spends more on education per pupil than any nation on Earth. Every breath he takes is a waste of good air.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Craig, our suicide rate and problems with drugs and alcohol are in part the result of the difficulty of earning a living here. Montana is a poor state. There are few job opportunities and low pay. Winters are long and dark. We don't have much in the way of mental health services. Our Indian reservations are where the problems are most acute. Developing economies there is a daunting task. I don't have any answers.

....Perhaps you have conclusive evidence that mercury is good for us. Well, you're pretty good at chewing out conservatives, could it be in part because of a mouth full of mercury laced fillings? Good thing your long, dark Montana winters are lit up with mercury filled fluorescent bulbs. Too bad they burn out in a tiny fraction of the time that the last admin. regulated them to last, eh? Next stop, recycling centers, or Montana landfills? I'd prefer not to discuss 'nobel' club membership, paid for by grants and snowflaker's student loans. Besides, who was that reckless war monger of color that won the noble peace pipe prize for legalized dope?
