| I can't speak for everybody but for myself because of over reliance on computer modeling, the data is only from small slice of history, large scale climate change has occurred before we were throwing carbon into the atmosphere, but we are being asked to believe that this climate change is hugely eff... |

| There is also a difference between "my self" and "my life". It's not always possible to have both in order, and then choice is necessary. Your mileage may vary. That first line is very profound. It accurately describes much of my first 5 + decades of life. I am trying to narrow ... |

| What could you do to follow the money? Certainly all information released on money will be heavily edited and looked at. You need someone with good research skills, an understanding of how organizations hide and lie about money, who won't be intimidated by threats and action, and a sense of justice. |

| The idea of ABA in most cases no matter much it is drenched in positivity is to change you into as neurotypical as possible. It often does what they want in the short term, long term well into adulthood there is just not enough study. I can't fathom how changing your natural behaviors long term won'... |

| I listen to 60's genres from British Invasion, girl groups, Garage Rock, Acid/Psychedelic Rock, Motown, stax. I was alive but not much aware of then current rock and pop until the very end of the decade so a lot of these genres occurred just before that. |
