Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Friday, January 29. 2016Hollywood in a multicultural worldClimate hysteriaFrom all the polls over recent years, I seem to be in the mainstream which means I really don't care. Let it do what it wants. More warmth would be great for humans and would not hurt the cuddly polar bears who have gone through warm periods in the past. Insofar as I love cold and snow and skiing, and grew up playing hockey on frozen ponds with bonfires on the banks at dusk with girls and smuggled Southern Comfort, I think a cooling climate would be a human danger. It will occur, though, in time. Hope I will not be here then. I fully endorse this article by Prof. Singer: Climate Change: The Burden of Proof Leaving right now for a long weekend in Vermont. See you on the Killington bumps, or in the cozy pub around 4:30 near the fire. Life is good. Don't be a crank. Push back against the cranks. They will never be happy, or have a good time. Carpe diem.
