Re: Prepare to be Busted - Mythbusters Debunked addendum What's the difference between cables and low-gravity? You can get the same ascent and descent time (as Jarrah did), but the hang-time WILL NOT CHANGE. This video shows CONCLUSIVELY that Adam's hang-time is consistent with Earth gravity, while Young's is consistent with Lunar gravity. We went to the moon. DEAL WITH IT.

America's Political False Dichotomy Response to a video that shows quite clearly the false dichotomy both conservatives and liberals use to trick the American people into keeping them in power. Sources: Evolution education ratings by state: http://www.edexcellence.net/doc/lerner.pdf FDA deaths: Low estimate: Robert Goldberg of Brandeis University: "By a conservative estimate, FDA delays in allowing U.S. marketing of drugs used safely and effectively elsewhere around the world have cost the lives of at least 200,000 Americans over the past 30 years." http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=6210 High estimate: Dr. Mary J. Ruwart, former pharmaceutical research scientist for Upjohn: "The amendments probably saved as many as 40,000 lives by improving drug safety, but the longer development times caused about 4.7 million premature deaths due to delayed introduction of lifesaving drugs." http://www.ruwart.com/AAPS.pdf Child Labor and Minimum Wage: http://www.ruwart.com/Healing/chap3.html Minimum Wage, minorities, and drop-outs: http://www.epionline.org/news_detail.cfm?rid=180 Literacy: "The school system remained largely private and unorganized until the 1840s. In fact, the first national census conducted in 1840 indicated that near-universal (about 97%) literacy among the white population had been achieved." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_education_in_the_United_States Budget figures: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy07/hist.html Tags: libertarian skeptic false dichotomy myths Liberal conservative track records differences examined |
