State threatens suit against boat hobbyists

MURFREESBORO, TN (WSMV) -
The Tennessee Department of Revenue is threatening court action against a Murfreesboro man who built a small wooden boat in his garage with his 7-year-old son.
The state says that makes him a boat dealer and subject to paying extra taxes.
The boat is 14 feet long and made of wood. The family ordered the plans over the Internet because 7-year-old Carter loves to fish with his dad.
But when the Kings registered their boat and paid the boat registration fees, the nightmare started.
Letters from the Tennessee Department of Revenue say that because the Kings are boat dealers and manufacturers, they have to pay $539 dollars in taxes on the boat. (State threatens suit against boat hobbyists - WSMV Channel 4)

My view: You just can not make this stuff up! From ticketing a livery service for daring to only charge $25 for a 10 minuet limo ride rather than a mandated $45, to restricting casket sales to only licensed funeral directors, to charging someone a fine of $539 for building his own boat, it seems state and local government is determined to curtail freedom and protect established concerns from competition. Will someone in the state legislature move to repeal this law that requires a license to build a boat?

An Inconsistent Truth. Highly Recommended

An Inconsistent Truth is one man's odyssey to find the truth about man-made global warming. As the title suggests, this is an answer to Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary but it's much more than a simple rebuttal. We not only talk with leading scientific experts on the 'skeptic' side but we explore the entire culture of the global warming movement; often in a humorous and satirical way. The viewpoint of this film might not be the most popular position on the subject but it offers refreshing diversity. Diversity, after all, is not just found in different cultures or races or religions. True diversity is diversity of thought.

I watched this movie last night and highly recommend it. It is well made and it is quick paced. It is entertaining, informative, and funny.  It presents the arguments of the critics of global warming and shows that there are critics who are as credentialed as the advocates of the theory. One of the revealing things in the movie is how blindly accepting of the theory are people who do not have a clue as to why they believe it. Another revealing aspect of the movie is the exposure of the hypocrisy of Al Gore and how he financially benefits from promotion of the theory. The movie also corrects a lot of misinformation such as the claim that the population of polar bears is shrinking or that there has been an increase in hurricane activity in recent years.  While a true believer in global warming will most likely not like this movie, people with an open mind will find that it contributes to an understanding of the debate.

The movie is currently playing at Regal Hollywood 27 near 100 Oaks and Carmike Thoroughbred 20, 633 Frazier Drive, Franklin TN. For viewing times and more information click here.

16 Prominent Scientists Dissent on Global Warming

An opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal today signed by 16 prominent scientist dissent from the view that the evidence about global warming is incontrovertible. They write, " A candidate for public office in any contemporary democracy may have to consider what, if anything, to do about "global warming." Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true. In fact, a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed."(link)

They go on to say, " The lack of warming for more than a decade—indeed, the smaller-than-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections—suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause. Faced with this embarrassment, those promoting alarm have shifted their drumbeat from warming to weather extremes, to enable anything unusual that happens in our chaotic climate to be ascribed to CO2."

I have been a global warming skeptic and a global warming believer and have vacillated back and forth and most often have only been slightly in the skeptic column or slightly in the believer column. I think it is still an open question if global warming is occurring, if it is man made and what if anything we should do about it. I do think there has been an effort to stifle descent in the scientific community and skeptics have been intimidated into silence.  

Please read this article.These scientist are not local TV weathermen meteorologist or scientist in unrelated fields. These are prominent people. Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ivar Giaever is not a kook. My global warming belief meter dropped a little bit back toward the skeptic side. I do not think the science is settled.
