Why not just have everybody under the sun jump up and down until we get
pushed into a slightly larger orbit?
Done properly we could also make it a bit more circular and change the tilt
a little bit.
The southern hemisphere would have milder summers and the North milder
winters.
Before you start laughing remember what Mark Twain said about boiling the

I was sitting in a friends house one afternoon when her cats began hissing.
She had a very small walled patio that didn't attach to the house and
racoons had come into the area and were eating her cats food. They pretty
much ignored us.
Then there are the coyotes. Give then another 1000 years and we may have new

Since I'm usually the one who objects with "how do you know? can you
read minds?" whenever someone assumes that a *perp* believes this, or
misunderstands that, I ought to be the one who objects when one
assumes that the *rubes* might be dishonest. Having followed your
posts for years I guess you mean that "perps-in-training," not rubes,

There are a lot of birds in the Sacramento airport and a friend was
concerned about them being trapped. A few days later while waiting for her
plane to land I watched them time their flights to pass through the sliding
glass doors as people went in and out.

And is being used in the context of an AI computer program, and not in
the context of a rock, or the moon. There's a difference, even if yu
are too demented to understand that.
In the context it was presented, a computer program, which does not
apply to inanimae matter, like a rock or the moon.

Those scientists do not believe that inanimate matter has "free will"
in the sense thay hey have minds and can make decisions. If you think
they do, please provide a reference to any claim by any scientist that
clearly states that inanimate matter has the ability to think, and

You obviously throw rocks like a gurl.;-) The only science fiction
World con that I went to was Anaheim CA in 1985. My daughter likes to
go to Anime cons. She does the dress up and everything. It seems
like just about any bright kid has behaviors that they use to diagnose
Asberger's. I've been told that my kids had some of the behaviors,

"Avatar" is a work of fiction.
I think this indicates lack of imagination on behalf of the writers
can you cite a non-fictional example?

If that has happened, or were to ever happen, scientists would be
screaming bloody murder and calling to lynch the perpetrators;
instead, all we see are fascist pseudo-conservatives making the
assertion, never once even trying to produce valid evidence for

Global warming isn't a theory, any more than evolution or gravity
