Quote of the Day

"We have now sunk to a depth where the restatement of the obvious is the duty of intelligent men"

George Orwell said that.

The above quote is exemplified in a brilliantly "obvious" piece over at the American Thinker. The title of the article is Madness and Political Life and deserves your attention for we are at the place in time about which Mr. Orwell prophesied. Ahem!

I'll get you started, but promise me you'll read the entire piece at the above link:

How often do we have to return to the words of Orwell to make sense of the world today? There is madness in our lives, and it neither seeks nor wants a cure. Great nations are altering their economies, impoverishing their poorest subjects, condemning their progeny all in support of the lie of global warming.

Is it not obvious, by now, that a cyclical climate change is part of the history of our planet? (Has that not been obvious since we knew about the ice ages?) And is it not obvious that we do not even know whether the planet is growing hotter or colder? (What if the real problem turns out to be global cooling? Then we have no time to lose in doing all we can to heat up the environment and increase our individual carbon footprint.) The depressing part of all this is that otherwise sane people seem invested in catastrophic silliness. We are reduced to restating the obvious.

Please read the whole thing and try to figure out what a sane person is to do!

Bruce Walker, the author of the piece does, in fact, offer a sensible solution and if you're reading this, maybe, you're onto it.
