More like stairway to the Head's apartment for the slipper if you were unfortunate enough. Yes we had classrooms on 3 floors. Graham

Yet another firm and unassailable assumption of yours. When are you going to actually try to learn something about modern Middle Eastern Muslim societies, instead of continuing to rely on what you read in some extremist tome? Eric Lucas

YOu just demonstrated what I wrote. If you're going to label evolution as "just a belief", then you had better be prepared to apply that appellation to *all* of the observational sciences, since evolution is one of the best supported ideas in the history of science. And, oh, since computers are based on the theories of solid state physics, which you seem to think are "just beliefs", you'd better stop typing, you wouldn't want people thinking you're actually taking that belief seriously.

Unless you can produce one, I am forced to assume that you weren't listening carefully (as is your wont), and substituted your own imagination of what you *think* he would have said, for what he actually said.

OK, if there are that many repetitions of the same thing, it should be really, really easy for you to come up with a direct quote that says (or even implies to a reasonable person) that "there is no problem". Unless you do, I am going to have to assume, based on your repeated and incorrect comments about the Clinton administration, that you aren't listening as carefully as you say you are, and you're substituting your own strawman rhetoric for what they actually say.

You *really* do need to learn whereof you speak. Oil is used for about 3 % of power generation in the US. If that went off the grid, you wouldn't even notice. The US is essentially 100% domestically sufficient for electric power, through coal and natural gas. > These insane people don't say a single thing about it.
