Lew,
Thank you for your response to my little spoof.
I was well aware of my vernacular mistake. To
me it sounded like the kind of usage my fictitious
persona would employ. If it makes you feel
better, I'll correct it.
Are you in Oswego or Lisbon? I suspect that,
whichever, you're up to your ass in snow like us.
I've been told that Rush Limbaugh is using this
month to disprove global warming. In short, one
month of weather on one percent of the earth's
surface can disprove 100 months of climate on
100% of the earth's surface. Is there a name for
this kind of logic?
Have a nice weekend.
Pierre
Lew enrobed.
Ah, old buddy,
I didn't know you'd gotten a fictitious persona to
write it for you, and I don't care whether or not
you correct it. We are in neither Oswego nor
Lisbon (though I was there in the Navy), but in
Dresden, Maine, where you have visited (hope
you weren't lost!). We are up to our asses, as
you surmised. Last week we woke up to 30 de-
grees below zero. Got warm the next morning,
up ten degrees. Not that bad today.
I have never understood the "global warming"
admonition. What do the global warmers wish to
do? They wish to clean up the air, which is what
I want to do. You don't need an ass like Lim-
baugh to argue for cleaning up the air, which
we can all see is dirty. Why haven't we simply
made the point that cleaning up the air would
make everybody healthier? Yesterday there
was even evidence evinced that areas of the
U. S. that have cleaned up their air have ex-
tended peoples' lives. One would have to be
a moron (like Limbaugh) to argue that we
don't need to clean up the air we breathe.
Then we could turn to the proposition that
cleaning up our water would also be a good
thing. That's also easily provable. Not only
that, but the fish population would very
likely improve as well, which would help feed
all us polluters.
So, to hell with Global Warming. Clean Air!
Clean Water! Then the Earth could take
care of itself. It's been doing that, warming
and cooling, for millions of years.
