We're just too darn dumb to understand.

I find it truly frightening that people who are in positions of "public service" actually don't care much about serving constituents. This last year has been astonishing because of the persistence of the few to force debt, restrictions, and control onto people they are purporting to represent.

It is all because they are so much better and smarter than the rest of us.

Charles Krauthaammer puts it:

Everyone except the elite, all-knowing, ever-wise liberal leaders is dim and emotionally immature, and those leaders just don't understand why we're not thrilled about their enlightened view of how our lives can be. Guess what, we want some control over our lives, our choices, and--heaven forbid--the money we rightfully earn.

Global Warming??

I saw an article in the newspaper a day or so ago about our little disowned planet, Pluto. The article was about how its climate was changing. Whoa! There aren't any people there to drive SUVs or heat houses. How can that be? Surely humans are the universal planet destroyers. What did we do to poor Pluto? What atmosphere it had seems to be drifting away. Was that our use of spray deodorant, our pastures of dairy cows, or our careless disposal of plastic?

I think we need to be careful and thoughtful, recognizing that we want humankind to have a home in years to come. However, the furor over global warming has resulted in vested interests that groups are not going to give up easily--regardless of their true merit. That belief made Al Gore a billionaire. Why would he want that to change? Automobile companies have invested huge amounts in development of "greener" cars. They would be foolish to backtrack now, even if they recognize the science is flawed.
