Finally, Another Candidate Who Understands Global Warming

By j7uy5 on November 20, 2007.

America missed her chance to elect a sane pro-environmental
candidate
in 2000.  Or rather, the Supreme Court missed its chance.
 Whatever.  The critical point is that
environmentalism cannot be understood as an isolated issue.
 Pro-environmental thinking must pervade everything we do from
now on.





That is not to say that it is the only issue.  In
some cases, it will not be the most important issue.  But it
should be considered in all aspects of governmental activity.



Economic growth is totally worthless, if not sustainable.
 Sometimes, it is worse than worthless.  I believe we
shall
see an economic meltdown in the next six months or so.  This
will show how destructive unsustainable growth can be.

Mothering for Money
Most of the comments people make about our slightly changeable and somewhat odd family are lovely.  Like all parents my husband and I love hearing how beautiful our kids are, how well behaved (even when it isn't always true), how nice it is to see us all together, what fun it is to see a big family…
