Moonbats... I am surrounded by Moonbats! What part of Science to you fail to gasp? Do you know how much energy is in a modest thunderstorm and how little we are able to affect it? Scientists have been lusting after effective weather modification since the early 1950's and what has come of it? Nothing, Zip, Zero, Zilch... What has changed in your little part of the universe? Wonder if she is friends with Rick Santorum...
