...But I like to remind my fellow woodworkers that we need to be careful.
Spoilsport as a moral position. How deeply satisfying that must be for you.
...Remember, the Americans are still questioning global warming! Not individual Americans ...
Wrong. Sensible people around the world question various aspects of global warming. This makes it difficult for the Ecos pushing their New Totalitarianism.
Some of us are a little more ready to accept the 'disappointing' than others however much we'd prefer not to.
...And we are all so grateful that
you exist as a moral compass for us...
Once we decided to dismiss God from His responsibilities, that left a void of uncomfortable meaninglessness. Unless..wait a minute..if there's nothing higher than us...
we must be in charge...and capable. And from that point on, the fleas, full of hubris, thought they were in charge of the dog.
Let me be clear. We understand only small bits of our world. Small bits of the present, even less of the past, and virtually nothing of the future. Humans are unable to reliably predict whether it will rain next week--predicting long-range trends is simply laughable. We
don't know, and it is my belief that we
can't know.
The only thing that is certain about global warming is that it looks to be an excellent vehicle to power over others by the innately bossy among us--you know, those who at one time would have been saying "Don't you know there's a war on?"
What Larry the Woodentop should take away from this note is that--shock!--some here do not subscribe to his faith, and that even though he has found the True Way, FOG isn't the place to bear witness to his religious beliefs.
This forum is not the place for a debate on such things. I speak up here--once--only because I am tired of tolerating the intolerant.
