Not all dimmer switches are rated for CFL bulbs either. It seems that you need to pay attention to the packaging when purchasing both the bulbs and the switches. Some old dimmers will need to be replaced if CFL bulbs are to be dimmed.

answers is nonsense. We don't know, can't know, what answers science will provide, nor can we know ahead of time which questions it will answer. Just because science has not advanced to, will never advance to, the point where everything has been explained, we are not excused from pursuing knowledge within the scientific method. Religion is faith...organized in a dogmatic and doctrinal system, and to some extent, is required to exist outside of rational, honest, intellectual argument . Science is, in part, changing your mind when observation and experiment dictate that you were wrong. I am not aware of any religionist who has express a willingness to change their mind about the existence of supernatural forces causing stuff to happen. Nonsense

What does God need with a Starship?

True...Einstein's theories state that all mass distorts space/time.

NOT rebounding because of the fracking boom. Only a small fraction of the hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs lost to globalization are being replaced by the fracking industry.

There is nothing inconsiderate about doing something that they remind you to undo before landing...

It would be my right to do so. The knee defenders are narcissistic jerks. The airlines should just disable the recline option to save the narcissists from their necessity to demonstrate their self absorption.

your man?

No..cause it's Canada...

We can do what we want with Lake Michigan. Canada be damned!

The aquifers are not recharging at a rate that matches our withdrawals.This fact is not much impacted by snowfall trends.... either lower the withdrawal rate to match the recharge rate, or admit you intend to drain the aquifer. Those who depend on wells will be out of luck in that case, snow or no snow.

By moneyed interests I was thinking more of those whose wealth strategy is based on constant growth. More people, to buy more stuff...even if we have to degrade one region of the country to do it. The folks who will not concede that, maybe, we need to limit growth in areas that can not sustain unlimited growth. Water is just now becoming a very conspicuous symptom of this philosophy, or so it seems to me. I could be wrong. Bur I think there is a least a bit of truth to my observation.

There is a proposal to built a freshwater pipeline from Lake Superior. I'd prefer to see growth limited to sustainable levels before they start pumping water out of the Great Lakes...but moneyed interests will probably get their way...they usually do.

Yes and no. I was not suggesting causation. Merely putting it into historical context. You are not denying that Corporate/State partnership was a characteristic of the Nazi rise to, and hold on to, power are you? I ask because the historical truth of that fact is there to find for anyone who cares to do the research.

partnership with corporate interests in the lead up to WWII.
