Global Warming or Government Bunk?

I have long held that all the paranoia surrounding "global warming" was merely a government ploy to hyper-increase its stranglehold over humanity, and this latest article from Britain's Telegraph does nothing to dissuade me from that contention.

In short, drive your SUV all you want -- maybe even stop by McD's and get a couple of burgers made from methane-producing cows. Relax and decompress, for chrissakes. This "global warming" stuff is all a bunch of political boooollsheet.

48 Seconds to Taser

An article from an issue of Car and Driver magazine published last year about use of tasers during routine traffic stops. I don't know about you, but I think cops are way out of control in their use of these allegedly "non-lethal" weapons (to date, almost 500 people have died from them). How did the police manage to get along all those years before tasers were invented, huh?
