If our convoluted tax code is any indication, the U.S. will have a hard time making any big changes under such conditions. Can we adjust our economy to prevent global warming? Surely that is one of the great moral questions of the age.Dr. Strangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407042105777411150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-79314118964951327172007-03-12T21:12:00.000-07:002007-03-12T21:12:00.000-07:00It's also such an easy mark. If there's anything ...It's also such an easy mark. If there's anything conservative tv and radio hosts can do well, they're great for getting their viewers all riled up. And if you're sharing a bathroom with five relatives and driving an old car to a job without health benefits, some former president with a big house and a passion for climate change sure looks like the oft-reviled limousine liberal.<BR/><BR/>I find it really interesting that some fundamentalists have decided that not believing in global warming is a tenet of faith. The second-scariest moment in the movie "Jesus Camp" is when one of the earnest young tweens tells the director that global warming is a total lie. [The scariest moment is how poorly the same kid can read from a book - the movie is perhaps the best argument against homeschooling I've seen yet.]<BR/><BR/>Sure, if you think the end of the world's just around the corner, then maybe you aren't so interested in what happens to the world. But I'd like to think that the Great Hall Monitor In The Sky will be interested in what we did to keep the oceans from coming to a rolling boil.<BR/><BR/>-Seventh SisterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
