Unlike many Canadians I have a deep admiration for America, not so much for America now, but for the possibilities at its heart. The Declaration of Independence and the US Consitution have been guiding lights for progressive and liberal ideas for almost 300 years. However, it seems that the leadership has forgotten those ideals, and the populace has become insulated and complacent about the sufferings of others.
I personally think that the idea behind Prof LeVine's writing is pretty accurate. The Constition has been failing, and this new law completely subverts the freedom from government interference in the private sphere that is at the heart of the Declaration.
"and though the situation's grave, I think its what there is to save, this notion of the brave, and the asylum of the free." Good Riddance, There's no 'I' in team. |

Bull. Cite your sources. There is no credible argument against GW. None. Any that "seem" to exist are funded by oil and cigarette companies. Go ahead, cite your sources. |

Interesting that, the one time you choose to address one of my messages to you, you embarrass yourself.
Read what I wrote again. "LESS CO2 EMISSIONS". I made that clear. And dude, you are a lowly English teacher, not a climate scientist. Don't make assertions you can't back up. I've seen plenty of reasonable dissent from the standard 'global warming' thesis. That aside, I don't think that it can possibly be good that we emit so much from fossil fuels and think it ought to be slowed.
Cigarette companies now, eh?
Seriously, have you considered medications? Are you wearing a tin hat? |
