I have to say though that I did join his camp after 1986, for a little while at least. But now I'm free. <BR/><BR/>I have to say that I care more about the Red Sox than I do anything else, politics, world events, it doesn't matter. So let the globe heat right up as long as the Sox win. Which they did tonight. <BR/><BR/>You may call me shallow. But to that I say "to thine ownself be true"...and I love the Boston Red Sox.

If we stop putting so much poison in the air and nothing changes, then the theory was false. If the waters cool back down, then it was true. Either way we get cleaner air out of it.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the treaty though. The major problem is that it was drafted by politicians, without nearly enough input from the scientific community. It needed to set up a program so that developing nations can get financial aid in conforming to the guidelines, which is really the only way India and China would be able to get up to snuff. Still, it was a step in the right direction that we decided not to take.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17915186427167408768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024126.post-1126054539680416422005-09-06T20:55:00.000-04:002005-09-06T20:55:00.000-04:00I see your point.

Curt is a bombastic egomaniac but then maybe you'd have to be to do what he did.<BR/><BR/>As to global warming, hmmm..it's fun to make fun of something that is supposed to be addressed by a treaty (Kyoto) that exempts the biggest polluters of all, e.g., India, China, etc. I haven't been to either country (Superkate probably has) but I understand they are not healthy places to live with lots of smog and pollution. <BR/><BR/>I think it's one of those theories that can be invoked by either side in support of some proposition which ultimately cannot be proven or disproven. Kind of like my father who for many years believed that the "fix was in" and that is why the Red Sox could never win the World Series.

I mean I can't have any problem with him as a baseball player after what he did last year... I just get this sort of bad vibe from him. The same that I got from Manny until 2003, though for a different reason. I dunno. Alls I'm saying is that while I'm glad he's with us he's the last guy on the Sox I'd want to hang out with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17915186427167408768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024126.post-1126044724365429462005-09-06T18:12:00.000-04:002005-09-06T18:12:00.000-04:00Even the ones who play for the Yankees now...altho...Even the ones who play for the Yankees now...although I certainly don't want them to play very well.
