There is NO adequate mitigation (nor excuse) for his politically deceptive flatulance... NONE!!!

Are you saying that carbon offsets are not the answer. Please understand that there are a lot of perfectly good liberals making an excellent living selling these things. You wouldn't want to deprive them of their livelihood, would you?

While working as a corrections officer (prison guard) in the mid-sixties, I met many, many "edge men" who were hustling cigarettes in there because they had been selling concepts that weren't even as bogus as "these things!"

And as you know, there isn't much "livelihood" can be bought with boxes of cigarettes in a prison unless you like preverted sex!!!
