Personal opinions are like Blah, Blah, Blah. You know the sayings. The Global warming issue. Has bounced from freezing to dieing of heat, since mankind first recognized temperature differences. Here's the opinion part. Al Gore Is a liar, liar pants on fire person. He was a defective politician. Trained by a liar, who made lying an art. How many meanings of is, is there? Al Gore needs to be stripped of the farcical Nobel Piece Prize award. Al Gore needs to be arrested for fraud. Al Gore needs to be castrated, so not any more of his offspring will be produced. His children and his children's children need to be castrated also. Stop this demon seed from spreading any farther. He needs to be villified by the press, which will never happen. Even when a glacier devours New York the Liberal Media will still worship this person who has made millions and millions of dollars from uneducated people and turned them into a following of fools.

The people who could benefit the most from this are combat soldiers. Believe it or not, being in the infantry means they put you into a battle where you often can not take a shower or even change your undies for a month or more while you sleep in the mud with all your clothes on.

Actually, you don't even get to sleep that much. But living in hell is the sine quo non of infantry combat. Who cares about their nasty shorts, what a guy really wants is a dry pair of socks.
