The Global Warming Swindle

I just had the unfortunate experience of watching the intro video for the Copenhagen Global Warming Circle Jerk. Because of an unusually solid constitution I was able to hold down this morning’s beans and rice, but just barely.

The scary-stuff-happening-to-the-cute-little-girl-and-her-teddy-bear alarmism would be a tragic joke if the makers of the film and the sponsors of the hot air circus weren’t so deeply allied with policy makers all over the civilized world.

Rubbish Guilt

My sons have been home schooled all their short lives. This year they both started high school in what is as close to a real school as they have ever seen, a cooperative home school. It’s a first for our boys and a reminder for me of how woefully out of touch I am with the fate of America’s trash.

I teach a class at the school. The class is somewhat open ended. It was suggested to me that perhaps a recycling project would be instructive to my charges.
