This evening, while making dinner, my doorbell rang. This usually means a fund raiser. Sure enough, I beheld some poor girl, I’d guess around seventeen, with Penn Environment. She told me that Pennsylvania ranks third in global warming emissions, behind California and Texas. She wanted fifteen dollars. “So are you with our cause?” she asked. “Well, according to the United Nations own report, only six percent of emissions come from man. I worry far more about environmentalism getting used to introduce a police state.” “Uhh, well, yeah, it’s..” “It’s a balance, I know. I mean, I’m all for cleaning up the environment and all that, but you know.” I told her I’d check out the web site, and she left. I have a feeling they didn’t prepare her for that. I forgot to mention the
thirty-three-thousand scientists who have come out against man-made global warming, and that many of the scientists initially on the report for it have come out and said their names appeared on the document without their consent, even though they disagreed with it. Oh well.
Moral: Memorize facts for dealing with fund raisers when they come to your door.

That’s weird. I’ve gotten TWO (2) door knocks from environmentalists in the last 4 months.
Me, I’m interested in their technique, who they work for (both were paid), how stuff is organized, etc. You know. Shop talk, one activist to another. :’)
Anyway, there is some serious bread being thrown around with all this door knocking, eh? cy
