I agree. But I am already hearing the counter argument in my head, "because it's just giving money to the actual really corrupt people who've been brainwashing you liberals."

Again, there can't be a discussion on this until everyone at least finds SOME common ground from which to start.

Let's start here:

1) No one wants the world to end anytime soon, except radical conservative groups within that party who are happy to have the "End of Days" upon us.

2) Cleaning up the environment CAN be done in a way that is WIN/WIN..where nobody loses--and maybe we just need to keep working TOGETHER to find that common ground from which to work on this?

3) If a scientist falsifies data and/or is in the pockets of big business, that is a MAJOR crime, because we must be able to trust our scientists and their data, and their opinions concerning what that data means.

4) Changing one's position on something can be very hard to do. The more invested, the harder it is..


Anyone care to add to my "common grounds" list, feel free.....



And a personal aside...I find it quite a stretch to believe that EVERY science-based opinion that supports that climate change is real is corrupted information or a corrupted opinion. That would be a conspiracy bigger than "The Illuminati." This suggests we are indeed living in Orwell's world, and only the conservatives are not brainwashed.

This is why I just want to write and produce music....
