Scientists and claims of ‘insignificance’ suspect

As far as I am aware of there are no laws that govern scientists. Scientists are above and beyond all known laws. They cannot be prosecuted.

Scientists in Russia have begun large scale experiments to manipulate the Earth’s weather. They want to control the seasons.

Scientists from America are planning to dump millions of tons of iron into our Pacific Ocean that will eventually create a gigantic algae bloom, which will then release certain gases into our atmosphere. Scientists are hoping those released gases will strengthen the ozone layer. The cause-effect on marine life and ocean wellness will be “insignificant,” according to the scientists.

Scientists, in a tunnel 17 miles long, deep under the earth in Europe, are attempting to recreate the “Big Bang Theory.” With giant colliders at each end of the tunnel blasting protons at each other, scientists are hoping to create a “God particle,” something out of nothing, a piece of matter, where the protons are smashed against each other at extreme speeds. Scientists planned to “ramp up” the intensity of this experiment at the beginning of 2015. Because of this experiment, there will be an increase in the number of earthquakes on Earth but they will be “insignificant,” according to the scientists.

After bombing the moon not too long ago, scientists just recently bombed a comet that travels within our solar system, at its closest approach to Earth. The bombing altered the comet’s ancient course; “insignificantly altered its course,” according to the scientists. Again, as on the moon, scientists are searching for water particles in the dust blooms caused by the bombings.

Scientists want to build a huge telescope, dubbed the Thirty Meter Telescope, on our Mauna Kea. According to scientists the presence of TMT will be “insignificant.”

Majority doesn’t always rule

Contrary to Kerrill J. Kephart’s letter of May 11 in which he claims that the majority rules in the United States, in reality, the majority does not always prevail. The presidential election has been won by candidates who lost the popular vote but won the election four times in our history. In the 2000 election, George W. Bush lost the popular vote by about 540,000 votes to Al Gore but won the electoral vote 271 to 266 and became president.

All federal wars, laws, taxes, treaties, Supreme Court appointments, etc., are determined by the Congress and the president and may not always reflect the will of the majority. Also, what if Hawaii’s congressmen and the president were not those whom Kephart voted for? Does he have any representation in Washington?

A country where the majority rules could result in a nation of one race, one religion and one culture instead of the vast diversity of peoples and cultures such as found in Hawaii. “Lucky you live in Hawaii.”
