I said: "Hey Dad, you can save a bunch of money by working on your car yourself!" Dad said: "I can earn much more money per hour working (yep, he's also an engineer) than I could fixing a car myself." Of course, he doesn't know how to fix cars, so he'd be mega-slow at it. But the lesson stands. This post is eerily like this exact conversation with my dad — down to every minor detail — that I had when I was in high school.

You can use is for many purposes. In my opinion there are lots of natural happenings that humans are foolish enough to believe that they can do something significant about. Global Warming may be one...but so are quakes, hurricanes and tornadoes. The most memorable Dirty Harry quote is:
