The Scopes Monkey Trial of new century
When I heard the comparison the other morning on the radio I had to laugh out loud. That's the prefect analogy to what the Republican party attempted in Congress against Al Gore last week. And predictably the results were exactly the same for them. The modern face of the conservative movement launched into their bitter oil company sponsored counter attack against Gore, and were utterly defeated. The attacks were pitiful and despite the massive amount of planning by the climate skeptics, they crumbled before Gore anyway. It was like watching children getting disciplined by an adult. And ultimately that's what's going on in the world right now. The conservatives are running about like children trying to pretend away the problems that face this planet, as well as this country, and the now the moderates and liberals are having to be the responsible parents and start getting the work done that needs to be done to save us all. Gore's quote is priceless "If the crib's on fire, you don't speculate that the baby is flame-retardant. You take action" and you listen to the conservatives, they are afraid to take action. This is the difference between parents and children here...Parents make choices based on the best information they have. I don't let my kid walk next to a cliff and just hope that she won't fall off, I err on the side of caution like every other responsible adult does. Conservatives don't care if the kid falls off, they just want nothing to change. And yet the only thing that is certain in this world is change. Good work Al!
