We can't PROVE Katrina was manmade, but the technology DOES exist. With this bill it will be legal for us to do such things in a month.

"Weather Modification"?? Hmmm....
(4) WEATHER MODIFICATION.--The term ``weather modification'' means changing or controlling, or attempting to change or control, by artificial methods the natural development of atmospheric cloud forms or precipitation forms which occur in the troposphere.
I think that research in this area could be beneficial, but I think there are various other steps that should be taken to reduce greenhouse gasses before we try and actually "control" the weather. We can barely predict it, what makes us think we can control it?

I would rather see the $10,000,000 a year till 2014 go to research/infrastructure for alternative energy resources.

Hey crab!

Here's another mojo2 EYE OPENING possibility to consider.

Katrina MAY have been artificially induced. Man Made. We or the Russians might have done it.

When looking at the facts of this storm AND the government response, keep the possibility in the back of your mind to check the facts against.

I'm NOT saying it is and I'm not saying it isn't.

All I'm saying is that the technology is REAL. The legislation is here in S 517. Now, if you were given a wonderous new power to control WEATHER ITSELF, you'd TEST it, wouldn't you?

Just look at Katrina as though it were a test and see if any thing else about it seems consistent with the way a test would be conducted.

And the crazy talk gets crazier. First Katrina is a natural storm, and now mojo says it could be man made.

Hey, remember that time the government used the space shuttle to create an earthquake as an assassination tool and Mel Gibson exposed the whole lousy mess of 'um? Anything is possible.

Are you my Mother's Neighbor, with a last name that begins with B? She is convinced that the Russians created Katrina. I have done nothing except this for the last week because of you!!!! If this is you, leave her alone. She has better things to do in the last years of her life.

Didn't the government also use the International Space Station to house it's secret army of Michael Jackson clones?

You're hard to please.
You want the gov't to take action to curb global warming, but then you complain when they do:

http://www.humanunderground.com/FAAconfirms.html
"A patent issued to Hughes Aircraft Company in 1991 calls for spreading a "sunscreen" of aluminum oxide particles to reduce global warming by reflecting 1% of incoming sunlight. Computer simulations carried out by geophysicist Ken Caldeira at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory showed that an anticipated doubling of atmospheric CO2 over the next 50 years would result in no net warming across the globe if the project touted by hydrogen bomb inventor Edward Teller was carried out."

or are you talking about this?
"Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations...It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts."

Secretary of Defense William Cohen at Q&A at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy, University of Georgia, Athens, Apr. 28, 1997.

Hmm, do a google search for "BioCure Sdn", that's some weird stuff.

ILIKEBEER has shown you something that should make you stop and think.

The Senate bill that WILL BECOME LAW ON OCTOBER 1st should tell you something.

Read my sig. The old one would be more appropriate here, but this one will do.

And, no, I'm not your mom's friend although I have been called a BMF.
