I don't "believe that Smart Rocks will influence [my] hi fi." Enough with the straw men.

But I do believe that Mother Earth is a tough old bitch.

I've read enough of your reviews to know you're very open minded about audio tweaks. - gme109 14:41:22 06/23/06 (1)
Tweaks that a lot of your fellow audiophiles believe you're nuts for even giving them a shot. I say good for you, having an open mind is a good thing. So why are you so closed minded when it comes to believing that man, just may have an effect on the delicate balance of nature? Your life is a walking countradiction.
- Never denied that man "just may" have an effect. I considered it as an explanation... - clarkjohnsen 07:03:45 06/24/06 (0)
  ...and largely rejected it.
  You see, if you disregard the media and film and government TV industry that bring most of us our beliefs, the earth is always warming and cooling. I repeat, the earth is always warming and cooling.
  Now, were one to be actually scientific about it, one would investigate what caused such warming and cooling in the past. Once those operators were isolated, one could assess the additional degrees (as it were) that mankind may have contributed.
  But without that base understanding, we have no basis to assign guilt to humanity. Computer models are not the predictors idolized in the press, they are mere scenarios. And never forget the scenario posited in the Seventies: Global cooling. Good thing we never spent $400 billion to warm up the earth huh?
  I'm sure you'll still say I'm a "walking countradiction", but there it is.

"...Mother Earth is a tough old bitch." - Perhaps, but she's getting a little long of tooth ... - Audiophilander 09:50:11 06/23/06 (0)
... and her offspring haven't shown her much respect as she's been displaying signs of increased fragility. Apparently, some folks like you feel favored, content to believe she's well off enough to support 'em for the rest of their unnatural lives even if poor Mom is forced into bankruptcy before her Will is probated. If things go badly for the rest of her relatives, that's tough luck; to hell with 'em, right? ;^)
