Pseudoscience, like economics.  They measure the CO2 in the atmosphere and then say "oh when CO2 is present at so many ppm then we know there tend to be such and such an effect"  But CO2 is not equally distributed around the world, there are bands of CO2 density. Yet the EFFECTS of CO2 are held to be global.  This is the clearest sign that "Global warming" fails to explain a physical process.  It attempts to equate statistical anamolies by hypothesizing such a process might be ongoing but fails to propose ANY clear empirical test of the process.  Lower temperatures? Well that doesn't signify, because we know global warming is real.  Ice buildup on the poles?  Doesn't signify.  The problem with science by statistical anamoly is that if you developed broader and more complete data sets, your anomaly might vanish.

Should trade that knowledge for "what the heck does til the end of time mean"

It's called Social Security tax and its taken out of every paycheck

Democrats are toying with "offering" you the chance to have the govt take over your 401k into the Social Security system--now we all know what that means if a socially irresponsible majority decline the offer!

oOOps my bad! It's a Finn in his natural element!!!

"Carver had an interest in helping poor Southern farmers who were working low-quality soils that had been depleted of nutrients by repeated plantings of cotton crops. He and other agricultural cognoscenti urged farmers to restore nitrogen to their soils by practicing systematic crop rotation, alternating cotton crops with plantings of sweet potatoes or legumes (such as peanuts, soybeans and cowpeas) that were also sources of protein. Following the crop rotation practice resulted in improved cotton yields and gave farmers new foods and alternative cash crops. In order to train farmers to successfully rotate crops and cultivate the new foods, Carver developed an agricultural extension program for Alabama that was similar to the one at Iowa State. In addition, he founded an industrial research laboratory where he and assistants worked to popularize use of the new plants by developing hundreds of applications for them through original research and also by promoting recipes and applications that they collected from others. Carver distributed his information as agricultural bulletins. (See Carver bulletins below.)

Peanut specimen collected by CarverMuch of Carver's fame is related to the hundreds of plant products he popularized. After Carver's death, lists were created of the plant products Carver compiled or originated. Such lists enumerate about 300 applications for peanuts and 118 for sweet potatoes, although 73 of the 118 were dyes. He made similar investigations into uses for cowpeas, soybeans, and pecans. Carver did not write down formulas for most of his novel plant products so they could not be made by others. Carver is also credited with the invention of peanut butter.[24]

Until 1921, Carver was not widely known for his agricultural research. However, he was known in Washington, D.C. President Theodore Roosevelt publicly admired his work. James Wilson, a former Iowa state dean and teacher of Carver's, was U.S. secretary of agriculture from 1897 to 1913. Henry Cantwell Wallace, U.S. secretary of agriculture from 1921 to 1924, was one of Carver's teachers at Iowa State. Carver was a friend of Wallace's son, Henry A. Wallace, also an Iowa State graduate.[25] The younger Wallace served as U.S. secretary of agriculture from 1933 to 1940 and as Franklin Delano Roosevelt's vice president from 1941 to 1945.

In 1916 Carver was made a member of the Royal Society of Arts in England, one of only a handful of Americans at that time to receive this honor. However, Carver's promotion of peanuts gained him the most fame.

In 1919, Carver wrote to a peanut company about the great potential he saw for his new peanut milk. Both he and the peanut industry seemed unaware that in 1917 William Melhuish had secured patent #1,243,855 for a milk substitute made from peanuts and soybeans. Despite reservations about his race, the peanut industry invited him as a speaker to their 1920 convention. He discussed "The Possibilities of the Peanut" and exhibited 145 peanut products.

By 1920, U.S. peanut farmers were being undercut with imported peanuts from the Republic of China. White peanut farmers and processors came together in 1921 to plead their cause before a Congressional committee hearings on a tariff. Having already spoken on the subject at the convention of the United Peanut Associations of America, Carver was elected to speak in favor of a peanut tariff before the Ways and Means Committee of the United States House of Representatives. Carver was a novel choice because of U.S. racial segregation. On arrival, Carver was mocked by surprised Southern congressmen, but he was not deterred and began to explain some of the many uses for the peanut. Initially given ten minutes to present, the now spellbound committee extended his time again and again. The committee rose in applause as he finished his presentation, and the Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922 included a tariff on imported peanuts. Carver's presentation to Congress made him famous, while his intelligence, eloquence, amiability, and courtesy delighted the general public."

There's one black inventor.

Now go import some Africans to teach you bareass drunks how to build a grass hut so you can pass out on the lawn yearround.

>>Chris, no one is going to reject their homeland unless they were being persecuted there. What WILL happen though is that the sons/daughters of these immigrants will assimilate into our culture and probably add a few things to our culture. This is what has happened and will continue to happen. You guys are just too nearsighted to see anything past the here and now.<<

We took in a few million Irish and Italians and they didn't try to vote in elections outside the USA or get the UK or Italy to issue them 'travel documents' or have their King noodge our President to let them come and go and bank without restrictions...which is exactly what 12 million Mexicans were marching in the streets to do.  That is what I mean by "rejecting the home country".  They aren't American, they'd be insulted if you called on them to be American, but they want to work here and obey only the US laws they find convenient.

I did turn on TV a week ago and every channel was either slavery or Tuskegee Airmen and I said "is it black history month or something?...oh"
