What's wrong w/ protecting the environment?

Rune? An engineer ?!?!

I NEVER saw that one coming.
We engineers are typically methodical, logical thinkers. I wasn't aware anyone had accused Rune of being logical, or had reason to. Anyway, nice to know I'm not the only one here that knows a "Newton" is more than just a tasty Nabisco treat.
Rune claimed to have an engineering degree a while back. Like so many of his claims, it was a lie.
 
"Rune claimed to have an engineering degree a while back. Like so many of his claims, it was a lie." #305
- oh -

I must have missed out on the claim.
I haven't cyber-known Rune all that long. But I didn't get much vibe of an orderly, engineering mind.
 
I'm agnostic on it Rune.
I never read the original claim.
You're welcome to declare your education, or not.
But if you are amenable to publicizing your engineering diploma here, I'd be interested in knowing what type:
- chemical?
- electrical?
- mechanical?
- civil?

as well as your alma mater, and what if anything you've used the degree for. Employment as an engineer ... where? Doing what?

No pressure.
I don't mean my presentation to be anything more than a simple, benevolent invitation, an opportunity to strut your stuff, without being accused of being boastful. It's ENTIRELY up to you.
 
I appreciate the insight R.
But I'm willing to give Rune benefit of doubt.
I'll know if he's lying.

meanwhile, a fig leaf of respecting the topic:

How shall we rate President Obama on protecting the environment. Hasn't he within the year marked off a swath of the Atlantic nearly the size of Texas?
Wasn't that to preserve both habitat, and species?

Wasn't it Nixon that both made nice w/ China's Chairman Mao, and established the E.P.A.? If a Democrat had done that, wouldn't they have been labeled "commie tree-huggers"?

Nixon was a RINO. Lefties loved him until he brought down commies

Nixon was a conservative. Conservatives have always been pro environment just as conservatives have always been anti slavery.

It was the leftwing liberal socialist democrat obstructionist congress that forced Nixon to resort to using EO to create the EPA.
