Since I'm 72, I have the feeling that I'll be "getting out while the getting's good".

And this ostrich behaviour is not confined to politicians and business people. I am amazed at the number of people who, when facing up to the necessary changes required to curb climate change, fall victim to the NIMBY syndrome.

We have a congress and government that has been reduced to either toe the line or out, from lobby's like the NRA and others representing the tea party, that is incapable of action on this and other equally important issues. I could rant for some time about the ineffectiveness of the Obama terms, the blatant lying of the Bush terms, but it's done. <br />Our individual vote has become meaningless, our 'representatives' are controlled by lobby's, by elements in their respective parties that may not represent our wishes. <br />In many ways, we are at fault. We've been complacent, hoping for the best, thinking that people would figure it out. Others have figured it out, and here we are. <br />Should Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-71193154046138004132014-05-25T16:39:27.280-07:002014-05-25T16:39:27.280-07:00Agree 100% with this editorial and thank you for p...Agree 100% with this editorial and thank you for putting it on your blog. What we are seeing of climate change in the lower 48 pales compared to the arctic. "Drunken forest" from melted perma-frost as the trees tip over. Tundra ponds for geese and ducks drained through melted perma-frost. Polar bears drowning for lack of ice. As an ex-Alaskan, I appreciate this post.
