    Gated and domed!

    Although Elephantman and his friends seem to think that the obscene wealth they're gathering to themselves in the fossil fuel industry and energy markets will allow them to separate themselves from the rest of us riffraff and breath different air than we do by building gated, domed communities as needed, they're wrong. May they choke on their wealth and their rank indifference to the well being of this marvelous planet we share and to future generations that will still have to survive here.

    This was one of your clearest, best spoken posts ever, Andrew! Thanks for cutting through the B.S. to lay out what the issues really are, here!
