And it works. Most of my nieces and nephews are politicized idiots who think they are the smartest, most intelligent people on the planet.

The next day was a Friday and she was running late as usual. She came to me said, We gotta go, I have to go to school. I told her that I had been thinking about what she had said the previous evening and told her that I was going to work from home that day in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint. She said, But Dad, I have a Bio test today, we have to go. I told her that saving the planet was more important than her Bio test. She was livid, and called some friends to see if she could get a ride. No luck. She stayed home that Friday.
I suggested she spend the weekend doing some research on global warming and energy use and see if what her teacher seemed right. She did and spent two days writing a paper for her history teacher that debunked human caused global warming. It was not an assignment but she gave it to the teacher anyway. It came back with a note at the top that said I'll have to think about this.
I seem to remember that she was able to take her Bio test on Monday, but the perspective and discernment she gained was more valuable than anything.
