Global Warming — I’m a Fan
By Demosthenes | November 15, 2008
Is there no way to escape this relentless assault on our intelligence from the global warming zealots? I’m a Big Brother (of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Organization). Today, I took my Little Brother to an IMAX movie. The feature was called “Grand Canyon Adventure.” Not until we arrived and I had my Little Brother’s hopes up did I realize I was about to be subjected to more liberal sputum. The subtitle (“River at Risk.”) was a warning, but I didn’t catch that until too late.
Anyhow, the video was as you might expect from IMAX—spectacular. I only wish they would have turned off the audio. Turns out, this was just another liberal indictment of the human race for ruining our planet with global warming. According to Robert Redford, the narrator, the Colorado River is dying! And yes, it’s all due to us greedy humans. We should be ashamed of ourselves for wanting to drink water and irrigate our farms. Nasty critters we are.
I told my Little Brother that I had rafted down the Grand Canyon with my 15 year old son years earlier. He’s now worried that it will die before he gets a chance to experience it himself. I assured him it will be there whenever he’s ready for it, but avoided my temptation to un-brainwash him. I try to avoid political discussions with my Little Brother, partly because his mom is a liberal, and partly because I want him to enjoy being a kid. I only wish the political left would do the same.
On a side note, I highly recommend reading Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear.” It pretty much blows the whole global warming issue out of the water (pardon the pun).
Also, there’s an interesting post over at The American Elephants blog about the global warming issue. Check it out here: http://americanelephant.wordpress.com/2008/11/13/a-few-billion-here-a-few-billion-there-and-the-first-thing-you-know-youre-talking-real-money/
Anyhow, I wish I could just have a nice day out with my family or my Little Brother without being subjected to liberal tripe. Also, I was raised in Florida, and though I haven’t lived there in over 30 years, I still have it in my mind that the weather should not be cold–ever! Now that I live in the arctic circle (central Kentucky), I find myself wishing this global warming thing would hurry up a bit.
