Shutter Island teaches us that the greatest way to silence a critic is to have them viewed as insane. That way, the more they protest, the more their insanity is proven.

That's crazy, man.

Of course Shutter Island wasn't the genesis of the tactic. How many hundreds of completely brainless hit pieces attempting such an association in magazines have their been?

It is only a movie.

Interesting how all conspiracy theories rely on THOUSANDS of people all keeping their mouth shut for their entire lives.

Moon landings? A hoax, perpetrated by 10,000 NASA people -- most of whom are no longer employed by NASA

Kennedy assassination? 5,000 people from the CIA, FBI and Teamsters, and not a peep in almost 50 years

9/11? This must have taken the work, and secrecy of 50,000 people. And not a single leak?

OK, where did you hide the glaciers?

Zat, if you are smart as you act, surely you can explain this one.

There was an ice age once or twice in our past, correct?

Those glaciers extended all the way down to the deep south in the present day US and all the way down to southern france in Europe. Yet, there were no cars or coal-fired powerplants or hair-spray products then. What happened to those glaciers? And remember that those ice ages did not kill all of humanity.

So, let's assume, for the sake of argument that your theories are completely true, that man is contributing to GW. What do you propose be done about it? And don't give me that Cap and Trade or kyoto protocol bullshit, which we all know is just control and profiteering schemes.
