    Everyone should stop and read this, on how close we came to taking action on global warming and the insidious undoing of that momentum: "Human nature has brought us to this place; perhaps human nature will one day bring us through."

    Brian, the situation is legitimately frightening. The US gov’t took 2500 kids from their parents and spread them across the country. The SCOTUS has legitimized discrimination against Muslims and the President is an overt racist. The fear doesn’t have to be “mongered.”
