Global Warming Troubles
The people at Phoresia might have less to worry about than they think when it comes to global warming. All we have to do is change the axis of the earth’s rotation to re-adjust the daylight savings time. Get Congress on it.

Maybe things work differently in Massachusetts than in Arkansas… but when the time changed here this year, the sun rose and set an hour later the following day as a result of the time change. So the earth received the same amount of sunlight per day that it would have if the time change had occurred in April like in previous years. THERE WAS NO EXTRA HOUR OF SUNLIGHT. I know I can’t be the only person who realizes this. Personally, I think there’s a human component to global warming and climate change, but that it was going to happen on it’s own to some extent no matter what. Still, gotta feel kinda bad for our angry, bitter friend Connie for submitting this article to that newspaper and showing everyone who read her commentary how much of a jackass she really is.

Wow. Connie’s faith in the system must be pretty strong if she thinks that human conventions for labeling time can somehow affect the Eath’s rotation and the light of the sun. I sure hope this letter was a hoax, because if there are people this stupid out there, they should probably be kept away from any ballot boxes.

It didn’t even cross my mind that this might be a hoax. I can’t decide if it’s because I’m naive or my faith in humanity has reached an all time low.

Well danh22 - if there is no extra sunlight how do explain that fact that is still light later into the evening? I am glad Connie brought this up.

There are people this stupid out there. And they do vote, probably more than once in certain districts.

What day was this letter published? (April 1?)

If this is popularly we can follow up with the following legislation….
PI = 3 (rational makes more sense which is why it’s RATIONAL)
Years will be == 365 days all the time
Leap seconds??? forget it
Just outlaw global warming and all of it will be over
Guns WILL kill people
The author of Achy Breaky Heart will be publically stoned.

Connies tongue was firmly planted in her cheek when she wrote that. One of the better pieces of satire that I’ve seen on the subject lately.

Mark…. get up an hour earlier and see if you can see.

New theory on global warning. Wait, WHAT?!

Please God….please. That just had to be a joke. It’s funny snd tragic one way, and just funny the other.

Yes there are people that stupid out there as Mark has shown. In fact over 1 billion people believe the earth is flat! How do I know this? The koran says so. and Islam does not let you question the word of Allah.
There are also tens of thousands of people that still believe the sun and stars travels around the Earth. I’ve met them several times. I once ran into a full grown 24 year old woman who thought that when the sun set the whole world was dark! Our public schools sure have missed the boat. Go figure.

Sadly, this was not an April fools joke. The letter was published on April 16, 2007.
And to add more fuel to the fire: Hot Springs, Arkansas was the boyhood hometown of President Bill Clinton. (Insert joke here.)

This woman was apparently known for writing tongue-in-cheek letters to the editor. Not a hoax per se, but it is not serious.

Good thing Connie lives in Arkansas, she should stay there !
