It is a good thing and here is why:

If this data had not gone to Wikileaks, but instead to Al Queda we would never had known about the security problems in the interagency data sharing network that the government uses and instead a whole lot of lives would have been lost.

People are all up in arms for this becoming public, but had it not become public it could have been far worse.

First good thing Michael Moore has ever done.

I first read this as "cost to launch dwarfs" and thought you might be advocating using little people instead of regular sized people as astronauts..

Seems logical to me, if not very PC

Like how the cahora bassa Hydroelectric Dam stabilized Mozambique since it's construction in the 70's with enough power for all of southern Africa? Wait, the project was continually sabotaged, the north side never completed and the part that was finished ran at a mere fraction of it's capability for 30 years...

Of course Africa's problems are all related to the lack of resources (on the most resource rich continent on the planet) and not politics at all, it can't possibly be politics at all.

Sure, but DDT is safe to humans. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/710158/posts
"And DDT is extraordinarily safe for humans. Prof Kenneth Mellanby lectured on it for more than 40 years, and during each lecture he would eat a pinch."

And DDT does not hurt wildlife either, bird populations were increasing during the years DDT was in the most widespread use.

Now that we can build Heisenberg compensators?

Actually true to an extent. Methane creates as much global warming as CO2 and is much easier to deal with.

Combine Methane control with Soot control:

And we would probably be just fine leaving CO2 alone.

And people try to prevent evolution by preventing global warming and human activity.

"Ooh there is a breed of purple moth that only eats when a green turtle poops on a specific rock. A human moved the rock, now that species will die out.
Meanwhile a different breed of purple moth has learned to eat when a human moves a rock.."

Which species will survive, and do we have a obligation to decide?

Going back to an agrarian society with our current population would be worse on the environment..

Millions of people fleeing the cities, cutting down trees to burn to stay warm at night, more farm animals needed to pull plows etc..

the anti-nuclear crowd should be renamed the anti-braincell crowd

DDT is safe, and doesn't thin bird shells: http://spectator.org/archives/2005/02/25/ddt-fraud-and-tragedy

Total scam and lies for the purpose of raising $

Sure there are things that will affect the value in that time, but affect it enough that having a 24hour minimum on trades would be a bad thing? I think not.
