Why We Love Dogs

A wonderful post from Slate on why we love dogs. The idea here is dogs manipulate us using their keen sense of human body languageĀ  and social interactions to inject themselves into our lives.

Quoting from the post: Pets manipulate the same instincts and responses that have evolved to facilitate human relationships, “primarily (but not exclusively) those between parent and child.”

I’m a dog person. I enjoy being manipulated by my dogs šŸ™‚

Global Warming is a Hoax

I have long believed that the current global warming super meme is a collectivist hoax, designed to stampedĀ  stampede the uneducated majority into a panic and thereby empower leftist elites to the detriment of individual rights. These individual rights, especially private property, are the basis of civilization (or what’s left of civilization).

There’s an article in the UK Times Online debunking much of the bad science behind the global warming hoax. It’s trust is that solar activity, not carbon dioxide, is the main driver of climate change. It points to and acutal experiment showing the relationship of cosmic rays to cloud formation. Well worth the read.

And what of the heavy snows in the US mid-west and northeast this week? The silence from the global warming jihadis is defenening.
