    craig said that the “pacific decimal oscillation” might be the culprit — if is going to use the term, he should at least know how to say it — “pacific decadal oscillation” is what he was gunning for. some should have asked him what exactly is the pacific decimal oscillation?

    cheers,

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
