Ice Age Shit

Lead us not into temptation...... Can be the watch phrase for everyone everywhere whether in science, athletics, the arts, or whatever. Money corrupts and too much money corrupts absolutely. These "scientists" have been on the take all their lives either through "grants" that were cooked from the start or working for a lab that is directly subsidized by the government, or by companies seeking multi-billion dollar contracts. Scientists corrupt? Just like all of us when we suddenly have a shot at huge money, no more and no less. What adds to all this is the complicity of media which poses as the honest broker when in fact they are dishonest hand maidens. Their hype begets more stuff to hype and "exclusives" mean higher ratings. "New York facing two hundred foot glaciers," when uttered by Nobel Winning corruptocrat is a big headline. So now we get to see the depth of the corruption which spreads into every corner of our corrupt lives, a corruption that includes lying on our tax returns, cheating on our mistresses by secretly screwing our wives, or telling lies to increase sales or union membership. Our society is corrupt and while we can piss and moan about the corruption in Afghanistan I think the corruption on this side of the pond is every bit as bad.
