Don’t tell him there are actual erupting volcanoes UNDER the ocean. His head will explode! :-O
On the other hand...’’

I guess he took Robert Fulghum’s writing literally...
“you think it’s too cold to have a volcano there” .......DUH, hey Rick, we’re sending you back to Kindergarten so you can start all over again.”
This reminds me of a ritual that goes on in my house in the spring, winter, and fall. I’m sitting and watching TV, then put down my beer and grab my coat. Immediately my dogs jump up and run to the door. Dogs are the most observant creatures alive. But their actions aren’t driven by reasoning, as much as we’d like to think they do. The dogs have simply learned to associate “coat” with “go for a walk”.
Now try and imagine what goes on in the “mind” of a CNN “journalist”. He hears the word volcano, and an image of smoke pops into his head. Then, right after the word “in” (one of them short words) comes “ice ....(something)”. You see, to Rick, as an “investigative reporter”, something is fishy. You know, “hot and cold” in such close association just doesn’t add up.
While those of us who see such perceptions as “States Rights equals Racism”, or “Al Gore plus slide projector equals expert” as a level of cognition worthy of an animal, “journalists” who toil with world events at CNN and MSNBC, etc. recognize them as “critical thinking”.
