I have always had difficulty in believing any postulation be it "scientifically" supported or not regarding outer space.

The arrogance related to the sum knowledge of all that makes this universe, let alone galaxy, let alone the infinity of space predictable to any scientist is near as large as space itself.

We barely understand the physiology of man whom our scientists have had substantially more exposure to than the stratosphere in which this earth exists. I understand that based upon that limited information we can make projections, but any student of stats understand the needs for a representative sample.

The sample to study the long term changes in weather seems to very limited. Space exploration is far from complete and has provided us with on a relative basis enormous amounts more information to our prior knowledge, but to what extent can we rely on data prior to space exploration.

To what extent our the tools of measurement satisfactory to ensure a "true" and reliable reading with which to make projections?

One thing which has been proven true is that leaders need wars to convince people they need leaders. That humanity has been and continues to remain a class struggle and there whether we like it or not a bourgeousie class. One need only view the staff allocated to manage the affairs of the first lady, who is neither an elected official nor a person of leadership significance.

I have maintained for some time that new wars were needed to justify a beyond obese government. Certainly the war on terrorism and the war on climate change risk provide the bourgeousie a enemy to fight which is more elusive than all the enemies of the past.

You can fool all of the people some of the time but you can't fool of the people all of the time.

Sadly the education system and social conditioning has taught us how to believe we are thinking for ourslves when in fact the vast majority of us regurgitate that which suits the needs of the bourgeousie. Those who don't are simply cynics, paranoids, and lunatics.
