  It never ceases to amaze me

  whenever someone sounds the alarm bell of global warming being on the verge of melting our planet away from existence, they always follow that scary proposition by proposing a series of measures that put our country on the path toward Socialism. Forcing change through centralized government regulation and power is just the price we will have to pay to save the planet. That's what this is all about isn't it. This has a lot less to do with global warming than with the structure of American society.

  It isn't so much the spector of global warming that you are afraid of, but rather the capitalistic system that has made our country survive. That's why anyone that resists the religion known as global warming is anti scientist and they are playing the survival of the planet. Dare anyone not believe in global warming and furthermore believe that we should use market forces to combat environmental issues, then they also wouldn't change our society into a Socialistic one.

  So, this is what is really going on with global warming. It isn't about our planet but about American society. You don't like free markets and capitalism and so to change that you sound the alarm bells of global warming, and then turn around and propose new regulations, controls, and mandates. How convenient. I wrote about folks like you here...
