Chuck - T-rexes don't fear void creatures, or is butt pounding an expression of that fear?

Thanks

I started balding at 15, and realized it after getting out of the pool with a girl I was into who subsequently pointed out my thinning hair. Mortifying, to say the least.

I think because of that, I had a little bit of denial for a while, keeping my hair cut short, but never really addressing the thinning on top. At a certain point, after college, I finally went ahead and bic'ed the middle (which created this horse-shoe pattern OP describes).

I love it though. I keep the rest of my hair short, so I don't think it really makes me look all that much older (and before I turned 21, let's just say that looking older was really advantageous). I never pay for haircuts, what hair I do have dries immediately and getting ready is a breeze.

I think the problem a lot of people have is that they get stuck in the denial stage and never deal with the thinning parts of their head, leaving it there to look scraggly and horrible. I passed that a while ago now and I haven't looked back. Baldness is the best hairstyle I've ever had.

Climate change is a global problem and no one country can stop it on their own. That much should be obvious to you.

What else should be obvious is that if the U.S. doesn't lead on the issue, particularly because we are such a huge contributor to the problem, the global will to do anything will continue to fall apart.

This is made more obvious by the talk coming out of China, another huge contributor to the problem, of capping greenhouse gasses in the wake of Obama's announcements this week.

Sitting on our hands will not help mitigate a problem that is already affecting American families in myriad ways. You and many other politicians constantly talk about how much greater America is than any other nation on earth. Timidly waiting for every other country to solve a problem which we had a huge hand in creating does not speak to our greatness - it speaks to a lack of resolve, intelligence, and character.
