FEAR MONGERING
Thank you, Robert Zelkovsky. I'll watch your back. You probably won't be called a wacko drunk who sleeps with his gardener or a childish, narcissistic old woman.Those names are reserved for older women.
I know ! you're a shill, paid for by the wealthy and powerful fear-mongering mob.
I'm selling subscriptions to their new magazine FEAR MONGERING for several thousand dollars a year.I mean, if you can't beat'em, join 'em.
The condescending ones are cute, too. "You're just too dumb to understand science." I really liked the 'Luddite' label. Strange that these name callers often end up either growing GMO papayas or working for Pioneer.
Seriously, we do have serious problems and the sooner we face and address them the better chance we have of solving them. On the other hand, if the truth gets out it might affect the tourist industry...
I want to thank all our brave leaders who dare to speak out. You can always tell who's telling the truth: He, or she, who's being put down, called the worst names, mocked and reviled. Wear the labels proudly. My goodness, I have several volumes.
