"Pull your head in or else"
- sounds like a threat.

"I give up" – me too – we should just continue to pollute, exploit non-renewables and generally continue to live beyond the planet’s limits to sustain; simply because bleeding-heart lefties have contrived a HUGE conspiracy just to get up the noses of those sensible right-wingers who are only greedy because either god told them to or because their wealth will eventually trickle down to the poor and save the planet.

I guess it never occurred to you that over several thousand years of Ancient structures that have been built,
Nohh, that flew to fare above some peoples heads;;;;

There are good reasons to produce a thesis that the world Cataclysms are caused by Astrophysical events.

And I bet this is the first time you have ever heard of it?

I will give you six months grace with the conspiratorial theology, after that, When a royal Commission is held into State / Federal- Local Governments;
A lot of peoples underpants have just changed colour; You will see; then I expect an apology.

Shucks Celivia, the comment was not directed at you personally ; and the difference between me and Right / Left, is I do not have any need to pee in peoples pockets, I see it as a duty to prevent it; but some people just seem to enjoy wet pockets; I can’t figure that one out yet.

If I said Allah told me so , that would make it all right in your books?
Well he didn't. so there.

Up up to the beginning of the industrial revolution the world was controlled by the Royal families of Europe. The source of wealth was the land and they owned the land. This easily verifiable. My question is where is the source of power now? Clearly the landed gently is not what it used to be although large tracts of London are still owned by one family. Has power become more diffuse or is it still in the hands of a few? If the latter is true who are they and what do they have in mind?

Whispering Ted,

Do you still ask this question after Quantas being sold-out?

MichaelK I would not call myself a conspiritory theorist. Sometimes one can apply logic and ask questions, like I have done. I have flown a kite, I seen windmills turning and I have sailed in boats but I have never seen the wind. Does this mean the wind doesn't exist or are my experiences invalid? If a group controlling world affairs exists, and would seem that they do, I want to know their names, I want to know the cut of their jib. Not just their fascade.

The answer on your question, Whispering Ted, ("My question is where is the source of power now?") seems to be old as a world itself:
the source of power now is accessibility to fossil sources.

And I do not agree that an article we deliberate named properly:
it's not a "Al Gore's convenient lie", it is his strong personal convinction.
