I didn't think you would know. You're just like most people who don't know.

C'mon cvxjet, get it right. Columbeus was a "science denier" not believing the Earth was flat and that he would not fall off the edge of the Earth.

Get over it. Columbus was looking for an ATM machine and there were none to be found. That's why the banks are closed,  .
Let me know when you come to Austin. Who knows.

Cliff,
Was good talking to you this morning. Due to other outstanding priorities, this will be a quick turn around trip to TX and back to MS. I have an already scheduled commitment in Middle TN next week. A friend needs some of my "special" assistance. He needs a tree or two cut down and a fence torn down. Right up my alley, I'm pretty good at tearing things up.............

Cliff....Not sure what you mean- I am easily con-vused......I thought all of the science-deniers believed the Earth was flat while people who are edjumecated believe the EARTH is round like the moon......

I believe that Cliff is drawing a parallel between the Flat-Earthers of Columbus' day and the Global Warming zealots of modern times.
A gas powered leaf blower will surely set in motion a chain of events that will cause us all to be consumed by dragons. Do you really want to be responsible for that?

Climate change.....? But the oil industry has spent BILLIONS to cast doubt on climate change. That is like the idiocy of banning DDT....Ask the chemical companies and they will tell you that DDT is GREAT! See, spraying on a beach with kids playing......Always listen to the Corporate suppliers of chemicals, etc....They will tell you the absolute truth about their chemicals because why would they lie?

That goes for Covid mRNA gene therapy injections too.
