Blah blah quack! blah blah, etc., etc....

When our kids were young, there were some things I never said, just spelled. Like c-o-l-i-c.
Of course I also said "the B-I-B-L-E, yes that's the book for me" but that's a song--I was OK with my kids hearing about the Bible.
I don't know how I should treat the current GW--golden words spoken in veneration by some, gutter words spat out by others. Yes, global warming. OK I said it, don't make me do it again. Hence the title of this post. ("Quack" refers to, as Ken Blanchard points out, people that cannot think for themselves, basically.)
I am not a follower of the mantra/goldenwords/quacking of the proponents of GW, and that it's main cause is human activity. Lorne Gunter on March 12, 2007 in the National Post, talked about how sun spots can be the cause of rising temperatures on Mars, Jupiter, and even Pluto. And yes the Earth also can be included in this theory. (If you want to read Gunter's column, email me--I don't know how long a permalink to the column online will last.) I bring this up as a new study, in part from NASA, states that Mars is also warming up--and it's mainly because of the dirt. For the record, Mars has zero people there.
Actually, this picture can lead to great warming--starting in your heart:
Posted from here to warm your heart and world and maybe even help sell a few of these posters. And yes they are a set of quadruplets dressed as baby ducks--and giggling, not quacking.

LATER (May 9/07): The London Free Press has a photo gallery of the quads' first year posted here. Yes even the hardest "no kids for me" man can enjoy this.
