From the news coverage today you would think that the most important news of today is:

1. The death of Michael Jackson.
2. The affair of Gov. Sanford.
3. Congressman Conyers’ wife pleading guilty this morning to conspiring to commit bribery.
4. North Korea threatening war.
5. The regime in Iran slaughtering its citizens.

The real important news story is that the House of Representatives passed a climate control bill 219-212, with eight Republicans voting “Yes” and 44 Democrats voting “No”.

I didn’t learn in science class that we could affect the climate by passing laws.  But then I took most of my classes that talked about weather before the 1977 proclamation of “The Coming Ice Age”.

Hopefully, the Senate will do its job and stop this nonsensical bill from becoming law.

Where are all the people who complained about the government in their bedrooms?

The government is now in their car companies trying to dictate what they can drive.

Don’t panic.

I am a conservationist.  I follow Ben Franklin’s advice: “Waste not, want not.”

When I was growing up my family spent our summer vacations camping; first in tent then in pop-up camper.  Our policy was to “Leave the camp site as good or better than you found it.”  We enjoyed God’s creation, but we did not worship it.

Some of my cars have been:

1980 Honda Civic CVCC - 35 MPG

1986 Ford Escort Diesel - 44 MPG

1989 Ford Festiva - 42 MPG

1992 Honda Civic VX - 44 MPG
