Hello David Thompson WOW, my wise friend, how brave YOU are to open a New "door" rattle the entrenched conserative thought process and have the guts to THINK outside the "BOX" of conformity!! There are a number of Bright minds here that follow the "old school" of thought, locked in so to speak, must have a "Degree" and be "published" and proveable and so on, There are exceptions ie Petra a gal who puts "feelings" and Logic together in a very subtle and PC way that wiil soon prove to be true! And then there is ROGER Hunter! its "seems" that you have already met HIM,it seems that Roger with All his education and degrees is a fanatic debuncker committed to defending a "system" of old Science, and hartes for any New Doors to be opened, loves to put forth so called "estabilished" forms and locked in "Doctrine" and probaly still thing the Grand Canyon was created over a Zillion years! YOU are right ON!and its so great to see that a few "out" there "watch" Question what has been handed and "pounded" down in GEO class and are know looking into the REAL aspect of Geological change, What in the Past has REALLY taken Place? If you decide to leave here I would strongly suggest you consider Posting over at the Jim Berkland Board.. SYZGY JOB has been using the TIDAL aspect for some time,!!! This is a "professional" Board so to speak and it seems IMHO a bit "locked" up! recall the "old" school of thought? "The Continents have always been continents and the "SEAS" have Always been Seas?" Granted it has changed a bit recently, But the Old Line is still being taught and Pushed! Tidal Influence? Solar Flares? and a Pioneer named Frank Condon who is posting Daily about ULF! Tesla?? Well HE got Shut Down after what HE pulled off in COLO SPRINGS, recall Westinghouse?? Do the homework folks! DC is So much better than AC!!! and its FREE! So David consider REAL hard any Replies to Roger who in MY opinion has HIS own Agenda to cover, muddy,and conceal, the fact that Planet Earth is undergoing Serious stress and changes and "it" cannot be proved by "scientific" methods!!!! Thanks David! Realize ther will ALWAYS Be a Roger in Life! Stay the Course!! Cannie, just MY thoughts here! take it for what its worth! This Board is WORTH Saving! But perhaps its TIME to Allow Doors to be Opened??? Petra opened a Board of how to get Prepared! along with Don! As "some' of YOU know, We Live upon a Temporary Surface That is in the Process of Change! "change' is a thing WE are not in control OF! Mom Nature is in FACT running the Show!! Not the Geo Meters or the USGS! Why not at least Consider new Options? Perhaps OUR education has been flawed and or directed? My thought here is simple! Does that "DEGREE" really MEAN YOU are Qualified?? If So,, for What?? walked the "ground Lately?" and did YE feel what is Truly beyond OUR control?? We are But short term Renters who want Control! over the Elements and and "Others" based upon OUR so called "Scientific" "Reconigition" from "peers" No I think NOT!! Twill be a VERY STRANGE Christmas This Year! I am not here to start a FLAME war!!! rather to say Consider Options from Those who suggest Options available1 Peace folks and Merry Christmas to All!
