Comments on: The real Patriot Act, Part 1 http://climateprogress.org/2009/05/18/the-real-patriot-act-part-1/ The Latest on Climate Science, Solutions, and Politics Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:45:16 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: nathansrigley http://climateprogress.org/2009/05/18/the-real-patriot-act-part-1/#comment-55629 nathansrigley Tue, 19 May 2009 12:54:42 +0000 http://climateprogress.org/?p=6816#comment-55629 "young people tackle climate change with OPTIMISM and determination." as an average young person this is one of the few things I'm actually qualified to remark on. And let me tell you, based on the information out there there are really only two stances on the subject A- we are completely fucked, so why bother worrying B- the whole thing is a scam, so why bother doing anything Even though we are the living people who are set up to face the worst effects of previous generations raping the Earth we are slaves now to a system that forces us to continue this 'buisness as usual' approach. I for one am SLOWLY growing more optimistic. Maybe because I just learned I have a baby on the way, so my previous stance of being 100% sure our society would collapse in 20-30 years is no longer comprehensible. From what I have read people rally bravely when they are faced with a crisis, but would food scarcity turn us all to savages? Well there is not much to do for the average young person, who has been stamped as a slave in the form of a tens of thousands of dollars school loan. Why is it we must pay to be educated if our education is in the interest of the government? Why is it the governments sponsor army's of death bringers? Would it not make sense to instead sponsor armies of Doctors and Scientists? In closing this world was not made for humans, it was made for your greed, and profiteering, so fuck all you older generations! fix this cluster-fuck or we will curse you all for the rest of time. “young people tackle climate change with OPTIMISM and determination.”

A- we are completely fucked, so why bother worrying

B- the whole thing is a scam, so why bother doing anything

Even though we are the living people who are set up to face the worst effects of previous generations raping the Earth we are slaves now to a system that forces us to continue this ‘buisness as usual’ approach.

They have always fascinated me, that is why I paint them and have chickens. Right now, I have a chicken who only lays every other day but her eggs are huge, bigger than goose eggs, with double twin yolks. I've never tried frying one on concrete. Of course I signed your petition! Good luck - as an older person it makes me feel great to see young people tackle climate change with optimism and determination. And let's hope this story about the vulnerability of national security to instability related to climate chaos reaches a wider audience. Wouldn't you think that the usual deniers might be slightly more inclined to listen to this message? Robin S,

Has the Congress failed completely in their oath to the Constitution? And what is it with all the indirect links to promoters of atomic fission on the new President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology?
