Palin is a doer and not a talker. She is very inarticulate, however she knows how to get things done and do them right most of the time. I can compare her to an immigrant who is hard-working but cannot articulate well. However, this immigrant has the know-how and focus to get things done. Palin's type is a focused person. She focuses on her project and forgets about everything else thus causing her naivity on other issues and inarticulation. But the advantage is that the project she focuses on gets done as evident by her many accomplishments in Alaska.
Teenage pregnancy. All I can say from what I've observed is that most of them usually end up more successful than the average American and go into management & executive positions. They mature early and gets the family out of the way early.
Military and high-school dropout. Usually, children of powerful parents mess up when they are young only to end up having the same high ambitions as their parents later in life. Sooner or later, they will figure out that they don't want to be a loser.
Sarah's biggest problem is that she is vey inarticulate. Her language is that of a mother talking to her children. Her language is very informal and she does not know how to string words together to form an intelligent-sounding sentence.
She needs to join the toastmasters and get a lot of training on public speaking.
She understands what global warming is. After all, Alaska has the largest international research center (relating to global warming) in the northern hemisphere. The name is IARC, at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. However, she, like a lot of scientists, doesn't fall for the "human-caused" global warming. Besides, for several years now, the global temperature hasn't increased.
The fact that humans are having a measurable impact on climate change is one endorsed by a vast majority of scientists, governments, and academies. The disagreement that scientists have is over just how much our contribution to the phenomenon is.
I remember when it happened, and what the local gossip was.
And I believe there was an article about it in the National Enquirer.
One of the kids who got punished for vandalizing the buses already told the news papers in Alaska that Palin's son was not part of the group. He did that after he became an adult, since the names of the participants could not be made public by the police when it happened. That rumor has been debunked.

Perhaps. But there is a fact scientists can't explain: how come previous global warming existed without the presence of humans? Which humans are causing global warming in Mars. A good source of information relating to the climate (global warming, etc.) is IARC itself: http://people.iarc.uaf.edu/~sakasofu/climate.php
Professor Akasofu, the founder and former director of IARC, has a lot of information on the subject. IARC was founded when global warming became the talk of the day, with the help of Al Gore and Senator Stevens.
OMG not to get off topic but I have a bachelors degree too and I hated just about every minute of college too. It was like high school all over again but with more freedom.
Good post.

Oh please. She barely bothered to show her face at the majority of the legislative meetings in Juneau.

Yes, I do know that. And although the whole thing really doesn't matter to me, a different story was all over the valley on the morning that they found the buses. But that's all just rumor.
I mailed in my vote today and I'm glad I was able to do so without having to justify it by trying to tear down someone's children. And my only real purpose in this thread was to point out that Track did in fact graduate from high school.

I believe Bill Gates dropped-out of college, and did very well after. Intellect may be a good thing but more than just intellect is needed to make tit through life.

Thanks for the link, I'm checking it out. Like this quote though, from the aforementioned professor:
Quote:
People who are concerned about protecting the earth might also turn their attention to this question - Why has so little concrete effort been made to reduce the release of CO2, compared to such a great outcry and hysteria about global warming?
Bill Gates probably has extremely high IQ coupled with common sense and creativity.
I'm in graduate school now and ugh, I'm not sure why I'm doing it except for it looks good to have a masters and hopefully people will respect me more in a career stand point.

Yes, that one is a good one. The guy is real good, and his articles are very interesting.
