  Stand With Me, Jose Antonio Vargas, for a New Conversation about Immigration

  Undocumented folks who enjoy all the privileges of citizenship without going through the onerous process of attaining it legally have very little to complain about.

  Is Religion for or Against Climate Change?

  "It's important, then, to support the alternative theist viewpoint: That caring for the environment is an important tenet of religious belief . . .."

  
  

  And it's important in and of itself...

  
  

  The entire “stop global warming” enterprise
  Is quite beyond simple power of belief,
  So its implementation
  Requires artful creation
  Of dire humankind induced consequences from which the globe will (some day) need relief.
  
  Surely, cleaning up after oneself is a virtue
  That needs to be practiced each day
  Because it’s the right thing to do
  And that’s quite enough about it to say .
  
   Keeping the atmosphere free of smog, for example,
  Involves problems that have a rational solution--
  And the desirability of a smog-free environment
  Is clear to anyone who’s experienced smog-pollution.
  
  

  
  

  So promoting the understandable, achievable, intrinsically worthy goal

  
  

  Of keeping oneself and local environments (everywhere) clean

  
  

  Would do more to encourage universal cleansing than threatening dire(ostensibly controllable, Mann-made) “global warming” effects--

  
  

  
  The motivational device toward which folks like Algore, the EPA and Obama lean.

  When Public Schools Peddle Ex-Gay Propaganda

  If there is reason to believe

  
  

  That talking kids out of gayness is doable

  
  

  Then by all means it should be given a shot--

  
  

  A goal imminently pursuable.

  
  

  However, that approach

  
  

  Has not yet been fully validated

  
  

  And like Obama's approach to health care

  
  

  To the dust bin of history relegated.

  How to Fail at Climate Change Journalism

  If only some .org would take on the task

  
  

  Of defining, computing, publishing, and explaining

  
  

  An index of "average global temperature" (daily),

  
  

  On the whole from those in denial there might be less complaining.
