Pretty pointless.

Time Magazines disrespectful display has earned my Mothers seal of non-approval. My subscription is canceled.

My old copies now will be used for fish wrap. How’s that for recycling

Beside, let’s focus on the substance over the form, and not the other way around.

I stongly agree with Time magz position on this issue. Make me love them more.

Those who do not understand history or its relevance (or cannot think critically) rely on more primitive superstition-driven emotions to make decisions. (Lyle Rossiter, MD explains further.) Primitive people agree with their circle of like-minded friends because they fear losing popularity among them. This is why and how the majority of German people permitted Hitler’s tiny Nazi Party to gain control – and how Democrats controlled the “Solid South” as long as they did. Most acquiesced because those who disagreed were threatened with incarceration, terror, confiscation of wealth, torture, and death. If you took a stand against the Nazi Party or Jim Crow (e.g. courage), your friends had to decide whether to share those risks with you, or take the easy way out (e.g., cowardice). Cowardice is the polar opposite of what Iwo Jima is known for. Time could have been raising a swastika or a Ptolemy image with the same result.

If you want to see courage, hold a prayer vigil at Berkeley and ask yourself if the Obama supporters who spit, curse, and throw eggs at you are the courageous ones.

Sixty years from now, people will look at Al Gore and tree huggers with the same mixture of perplexed curiosity that we now view segregationists and Nazis – What we they thinking?

As for the merits or “global warming,” the fact that top scientists risk alienation and the loss of research funding if they question the merits of global warming suggests that Gore and his worshipers fear the truth – much the same way that Darwinists fear “intelligent design” arguments, and why the Pope feared the truth about Ptolemy’s geocentric universe for so long. The fact that our Nobel Prize winning champion of global warming refuses to publicly debate the issue with real scientists, or that his movie used faked video (without telling anyone) is telling. I agree that the world is getting warmer, but our ability to slow it down has more to do with Gore’s “intoxicating vanity” than real science. I also want to know how Gore plans to compel a billion people around the world to stop using dried cow dung for energy to make the air cleaner in America.

Greenpeace co-founder Pat Moore recently left the organization because of what he calls pop-environmentalism.

Environmentalists have been wrong about thinning forests (“unmanaged virgin woods”) that have fueled the mega fires that have destroyed the environments these kooks tried to save. They’ve been wrong about nuclear energy.

Environmentalists are why America still relies on coal as our primary source for fuel, and why we unnecessarily waste billions of our dollars on Middle East oil every year.

I live in Hollywood, so I know how dangerous it is to bring up these inconvenient truths in polite company.

The problem isn’t that we don’t know, but that Gore, socialists, and competing global interests want America to do something… A N Y T H I N G!!! about something we know little about. Man’s influence on the weather is still a theory with many scientific detractors.

Real scientists know that, before you treat a patient or repair a machine, it’s always better to understand what ails them. Among witchdoctors, the cure is often more dangerous than the malady itself.

I have never been a member of the armed forces, and I have never put my life in danger for the lives and freedoms of others, so I won’t even pretend to understand what that feels like. But being Black woman in this country, I know all to well that my freedoms and my opportunities were paved by the blood, sweat and tears of those brave men and women who came before me who were willing to put their lives on the line for future generations. Should their sacfrices be in vain? That’s what would happen if they fought and died for me to have freedom on a dying planet. There is no more important issue than the quality of life on this planet. It makes all other causes worthwhile.
