Hey Sarah! Do you worry about that "going boom" stuff? And if not, why not? You know, if you don't, it sure makes you wonder how much of your true believerism is really politics? Is it unkind for me to say this reduces you to being either a moron or a hypocrite?
However, we still haven't looked at what our founding fathers were so worried about when it came to the religious cult crowd. They knew that IF they came to power as a theocracy, all their wacko beliefs (and hatreds!) would be turned into laws. In those days, they didn't worry too much about the environment, but for us, that's probably the most terrifying danger of Sarah Palin.
Can you imagine how she would TOTALLY IGNORE the life and death points of no return that the Earth has been reduced to by, say, Texas energy corporations, and the general lust for fossil fuels as a money cow for the infinitely rich elites, plus her indifferent passivity in face of New Orleans level hurricanes, disastrously widening ozone holes, global warming (and, yes Virginia, it IS man made), and the catastrophic going ballistic pollution of our skies, rivers, oceans, and (once upon a time) "fertile fields of grain"?
None of this (and 10,000 other crises) would mean ANYTHING to her, because her eye is on the prize of religious fanaticism salvation. In other words, some kind of loony tunes that is independent of and transcendent to the Earth specifically, and to the reality/universe in general.
Most Earthlings, not just Americans, now understand that it's sink or swim time. Countless biosystems of the Earth (for openers, the human species biosystem) are in an agony of death throws and WE SIMPLY HAVE RUN OUT OF TIME.
Science tells us we are at a put up or shut up place. However, all is not lost IF we radically reinstitute and expand the environmental protections the Bush/Republicans trashed in the name of greed (GOP - Greed on Parade, indeed).
And how would our brand new air head pug VP factor into this? She would not only stay in denial, she would CELEBRATE the Death of the Earth (just as would air head McCain and Bush)!
Am I exaggerating? You know I'm not. These are people who are sick to death of Mother Nature. Hey, they want to leave the motel. They want their "heavenly rewards". It makes you sick to talk about it. And Sarah Palin would leading this glassy-eyed lemming parade over the cliff.
