Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem, which seems to be the most ancient and widespread math- ematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_of_civilization "The cradle of civilization refers to locations where, according to current archaeological data, civilization is understood to have emerged. Current thinking is that there was no single "cradle", but several civilizations that developed independently, with the Fertile Crescent (Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt) understood to be the earliest. Other civilizations arose" ... Oonj sayeth: Other civilizations arose concurrently in Asia & America. Fairly advanced cultures in both North & South America flourished for centuries ... then fell into ruin. I don't know why. They lacked horse-power, could be a drag.

NOT Have you one of those handy linkys for fleshing out your comment?You're joking, right ? Do you honestly need a link to remember this ? Barack Obama: Nasa must try to make Muslims 'feel good' The head of the Nasa has said Barack Obama told him to make "reaching out to the Muslim world" one of the space agency's top priorities. By Toby Harnden in Washington 8:00PM BST 06 Jul 2010 Charles Bolden, a retired United States Marines Corps major-general and former astronaut, said in an interview with al-Jazeera that Nasa was not only a space exploration agency but also an "Earth improvement agency". Mr Bolden said: "When I became the Nasa administrator, he [Mr Obama] charged me with three things. "One, he wanted me to help reinspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." He added: "It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the Muslim [nations]." Byron York, a conservative columnist for the Washington Examiner, characterised Mr Obama's space policy shift as moving "from moon landings to promoting self-esteem" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/7875584/Barack-Obama-Nasa-must-try-to-make-Muslims-feel-good.html

(That's probably Chicago... I doubt they track the Suburbs) I could believe that it got that hot here. I don't have AC though, so it doesn't bother me all that much. It's been a great summer up here. Strange that the two hottest days all summer were near the end of September though.

Quote:For me, summer ends when it's not hot in my house anymore. 3 record breaking days in a row now and I'm looking at a thermostat on September 23rd that reads 87 degrees.First off, I said "for me". I don't think I was trying to impose my Patriarchal Will on you or anybody else. I wasn't making any sort of political statement here, or really anything other than an observation about how abnormally hot it has been here by me. I was kind of making a meaningless statement about how hot it is in my house. You're being a bitch. If you were a man, I'd call you a bitch.

If it stays warmer over winter, we're going to get a pile of snow.

I said an off-handed joke of a comment that in no way was hurting anybody or even stating any sort of political opinion, in a thread that you had no input in for quite a while if ever, and you used a bunch of "big words" to insult me because you're pissy with me in another completely unrelated thread. Yeah. I really believe that summer ends when I say that it does. You're either an idiot, completely humorless to a fault, or both.

That could have been cleared up with less drama. I don't think I'm party to your other thread for bitching. And my humor detector was inoperative when reading your sarcastic post.
