The most convincing argument I’ve seen for global warming goes as such:
We could be right or wrong. We could act or not. This gives us four outcomes.
1. We work to fix global warming, and we were wrong.
No real loss.
2. We work to fix global warming, and we were right.
Good choice. Go team.
3. We leave things as they are, and we were wrong.
No loss.
4. We leave things as they are, and we were wrong.
Dear god. Mad Max is now a training manual.
So Governor Palin is under investigation for abuse of power. I’m not about to claim one way or another, because Americans are innocent until proven guilty. At the end of the investigation, though, the result will prove one thing or another.
For the purposes of this rant, let’s assume McCain is elected.
1. She’s proven innocent. We have a strong vice president. No loss.
2. She’s proven guilty. We now have an inexperienced vice president a heartbeat away from the presidency, willing to abuse power for personal reasons.
I realize comparing Palin to a global natural disaster is a bit unfair. It just seemed to fit.
