Making Ripples: post-corporate adventures in Floyd County Virginia: Which one of these is unlike the other?

Which one of these is unlike the other?

The Boogeyman

The Closet Monster

Global Warming

Carbon Dioxide as a Pollutant

Al Gore

Ans: - #5 Al Gore, of course.

He is a tremendously successful businessman who profits by scaring gullible people. As a result he has been awarded an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize.

The others are fictions which are used to scare children and other gullible people. Politicians thrive by using items 3 and 4 to get funding for their friends. Their motto is: "Never let a good hoax go to waste".

We are sitting here typing while the emergency generator rumbles in the distance and we are expecting even more "global warming" to fall on us in the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, our elected Climatologist-in-Chief and the EPA are putting on a dog and pony show in "Hopenhagen" in hopes of establishing a New World Order based on more tomfoolery and carbon credits.

Way to go, guys! You are all that stands between us and prosperity!

It's true. In Canada, there are kids in school now who think they are going to burn to death in future if they don't stop global warming because of what they're being told by the school system. They are scared of the future. It's almost like the old fear of being afraid of burning in hellfire if you don't behave properly :)

Our Christmas Cat We have a new cat and our boss cat is going through a severe reality adjustment. Our cat quartet was broken when up our alpha cat Sherman bit the dust after contracting some sort of quick-acting wasting disease. We found a replacement cat named Chester living on a neighboring farm. I had featured Chester in a blog post after I discovered that he looked after small animals on the farm....

We Appreciate Simple Pleasures in Hard Times It's 18 degrees outside and the wind is picking up, so the chill factor is probably 8 degrees. The weather in Floyd today is brisk. Fortunately, we decided a long time ago that we would install one of those new-fangled wood burning stoves with an outside air feed. Our medium-sized wood stove keeps our 1650 sq ft house comfortably warm with no other heat sources except for tiny bathroom heaters...
