Strange times
I suggest we save ourselves a lot of aggravation and perhaps some money down the road. When someone from the loony left brings up a concern next time (war, environment, human rights, etc.) perhaps we should consider listening. Look at the environmental concerns we’re facing. I remember watching a group of crazy high school teachers walking to school on the first Earth Day back in 1970. Now 37-years later, some are suddenly discovering that “Houston, we have a problem". The problem is those who have laughed it off probably won’t be around long enough to experience what may happen with the environment or its potential impact on our health and economy. By the time this happens, these folks will probably have passed away. However, their children and grandchildren will unfortunately feel the pain of 37-years of ridiculing this a growing threat.
Perhaps if we try listening and thinking about an issue rather than blowing it off because the messenger appears to be part of a political faction we disagree with, our children might not be facing some of the issues we have today. Now I see why so many are opposed to cloning; we’re afraid future generations will clone us for the purpose of kicking our butts for leaving them with this mess.

Oh I don't no, I think that we should blow off stupid un founded theorys. Sure glad we did when the same scientist say " If we don't act now, we're doomed" It was 1972 I was a high school senior, I'm still waiting for those glaciers to come across Canada.
