Well, that didn’t post very well...
I've no problem with Climate Change, in fact, I think that it would to our long-term benefit to understand its workings....
....too bad that the screams of "It's Settled Science!!" drown out the voices of rational people. Now, we'll likely never know.
Too bad, RD used to be entertaining and informative, not the propaganda rag it has become.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.
~Proverbs 19:9
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.
~Revelation 21:8
Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.
~Romans 3:13
* “ The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. “
H. L. Mencken *
That’s a good one.
I like Mark Twain’s:
“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact”
I read RS occasionally, I can read everything even mildly interesting or relevant in a magazine in a few minutes. My Dad listens to NPR for much the same reasons... "The better to know my enemies." :-)
Right now, RS is thrashing about politically. They're trying to decide if Democrats are too conservative, or just not liberal enough. Looks like they're going to latch on to Bernie Sanders for Prez, but that still remains to be seen.
Bad news for Hillary! and Biden, I'd think. RS is more-or-less a mouthpiece for the young liberal vote that they'll need, badly.
That is their niche, like MTV used to be with rock the vote. Now the liberal indoctrination market seems to have shifted towards late night talk shows and Saturday Night Live TV audiences.
That being said, Reader's Digest was a magazine I subscribed to since 1972. They were at best apolitical leaning conservative. Now, they are just becoming another version of the usual newsstand time wasters, kind of a print version of yahoo "news". No credibility just a method to sell ads.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
Teach the kids to think and analyze, then ask respectful, logical questions of their teachers. Most of the indoctrination comes from the National Education Association, textbook publishers and state boards of education. The teacher is just trying to get through the day with an undisciplined rabble which has no concept of the need to become educated.
First step: Eliminate the NEA and it’s schemes.
Exile seems good.
