To adapt an adage of the antiwar movement, it is time for the administration to recognize that there can be no freedom if you are freezing. For too long, the government has done nothing to address the conditions which lead to freezing cold. While we respect
the American Spectator's support for a carbon emissions surge, we feel that it is too little and too late. And although many have written about the harm of global warming alarmism (Thomas Sowell is particularly wise) few have come out in support of the phenomenon.
Now, to adapt an adage of an antiwar movement enemy:
Faster, please.

"The problem of an eidos in history, hence, arises only when a Christian transcendental fulfillment becomes immanentized. Such an immanentist hypostasis of the eschaton, however, is a theoretical fallacy."-Eric Voegelin
George Will Advice
"I grew up in Champaign, Illinois, midway between Chicago and St. Louis. At an age too tender for life-shaping decisions, I made one. While all my friends were becoming Cardinals fans, I became a Cub fan. My friends, happily rooting for Stan Musial, Red Schoendienst and other great Redbirds, grew up cheerfully convinced that the world is a benign place, so of course, they became liberals. Rooting for the Cubs in the late 1940s and early 1950s, I became gloomy, pessimistic, morose, dyspeptic and conservative. It helped out of course that the Cubs last won the World Series in 1908, which is two years before Mark Twain and Tolstoy died. But that means, class of 1998, that the Cubs are in the 89th year of their rebuilding effort, and remember, any team can have a bad moment. So fellow members of the Class of 1998, my last piece of advice is - Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Cub fans."

where a tone of careless informality prevails; posts oscillate between the uselessly brief and the uselessly logorrheic; complexity and complication are eschewed; the humor is cringe-making, with irony present only in its conspicuous absence; arguments are solipsistic; writers traffic more in pronouncement than persuasion; PLUS little more than recounting what have become one side's talking points is accomplished

i too am an opponent of global warming (GW). i find it is as yet slow and inefficient. as a phenomenon, GW seems lazy and lethargic. in this time of crisis we need action to goad GW to reach her potential...imagine palm trees in manhattan...the ability to walk the streets in february in a t-shirt...no more legions of homeless freezing on the streets... the possibilities are endless.
