Most people have a range of views from conservative to liberal and statist to individualist on different issues. Libertarians, for example, don't fit anywhere properly on a simple left-right graph since that the graph mixes fiscal and social views. Neither do communitarians. People often self-identify what they *want* to be or what they think is "proper" than what they actually *are*. Frankly, most Gallup polls suck in terms of construction or usefulness (as in they don't actually provide answers that mean anything). I often participate in Zogby polls, they do a little better (though their assessment portion of my demographic in each poll sucks as well).

There is actually a town with that name in Queensland!? *shock* And back on-topic.. I have always been wondering.. How do scientists determine the age of dinosaur fossils? 97 million years old, huh? Speaking of which, what makes the scientists think the fossilized bones belong to that of a never-before-seen dinosaur as opposed to some lizards or snakes? I am a little curious yet I know the answer will always be unavailable. |

Back to the topic, I don't believe Obama can afford to lose all supports of conservatives. |

I disagree with you all.

(Also, what do you mean, unavailable? We're not talking about H-bomb manufacture, here. If you want to know about paleontology, study it. I'm sure there's a library not far from you. I'm sure you've got some kind of internet access. Knock yourself out.) |

The main over-reach I often see in the field is simply that one skeleton or bone may result in far too tenuous a conclusion but that's where the egos step in.

It gets rediculous sometimes too. A paleontolgist finds a partial femor from a new species and a few months later there's a show on the history channel or discovery channel with a 3d computer animation of what this new dinosaur looked like and acted like, when once again all they have to go on is a piece of one large bone. Sure that's probably enough to know this isn't a previously known species, and likely what known dinosaurs it's related to so you'll have some vague idea, but it doesn't say anything about skull shape, tail length, or the like.

Sadly, quite a number of good games appear as X360 Exclusive. However, anybody who sees the statistics of obtaining the famous "Red Rings of Death" will no doubt keep a distance from the console. |

Toyota reportedly pulls plug on NUMMI plant
http://www.detnews.com/article/20090...rst-for-Toyota Hmmmm, so they KNOW when their time is up. Something tells me it's a REALLY bad time to buy a new Corolla or Tacoma for a little while. Disgruntled employees have shoddy workmanship. |
