Ahh, Andy-- you of all people should recognize a sociopath when 
you (think) you see one.
Rage on, dude! Esp. since it apprently keeps you from attending 
meetings and
participating in the real work of political activism.

I=92ll skip the rest of your 99K diatribe. Take your meds, Andy, 
and relax.  And at least have
the courtesy to take my name off the title of these threads, 
since you=92ve apparently
changed your scope to another target.

But wait-- what=92s this you say?

You=92re joking, right? You realize ocean levels decline during 
ice ages since  water is
bound up in the polar ice caps? You claim to have 2 engineering 
degress. Did your science
class skip this basic fact?

Apparently you believe that ranting and raving and misspelling 
words will do the trick. 

Hmmm... interesting theory. Doubt it will work. But you just 
keep on trying, Andy.
