But I was wrong\u2026so completely wrong\u2026.so unutterably wrong that if I said I had a pet trilobite named Bert, I could not be more wrong, because Bert would be a fossil. Bert would, therefore, be my pet rock.<\/p>\n<p>When I went snooping around over on WattsUpWithThat, I came across an\u00a0article in which it is reported that three senior House Democrats (shown in the photographs in the linked article) want a book trashed\u00a0because it challenges the environmentalist view of global warming\/climate whatever. This is the same mindset that wanted people who disagree with that view prosecuted under the RICO Act. Remember that?\u00a0 Yeah, me, too.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the article from WUWT. It is well worth your time to read it, because it has several good points. \u00a0The comments kind of speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2017\/04\/04\/intolerant-democrats-ask-teachers-to-destroy-books-written-by-climate-deniers\/\">https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2017\/04\/04\/intolerant-democrats-ask-teachers-to-destroy-books-written-by-climate-deniers\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since there is a high probability that not one of these Congress critters\u00a0has read the book itself, this appears to be a \u2018jump on Johnny and pound him\u2019 sort of thing. \u00a0As someone interested in how tax money is being spent on twaddle in Foggy Bottom, I find it appropriate to ask bluntly if any of these three congressional twits have even read this book itself, and whether or not they can read past the 4<sup>th<\/sup> grade level.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice to see our tax dollars being put to such wonderful use, isn&#8217;t it? Intolerance of opposing views speaks for itself.\u00a0Troyfim Lysenko must be so proud!!<\/p>\n<p>Trash\u00a0that book, huh? \u00a0Why not just hold a book burning? Make a real serious statement. Get the kids to pitch in, just like in the Old Days in the 1930s! \u00a0And let&#8217;s not stop there! Let&#8217;s blow up libraries, too, because they might have even more dangerously mind-boggling stuff like this sitting on their shelves! The horror!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s one way to get some PR going on your current project, which appears to be thought control and brainwashing school children to me.<\/p>\n<p>What happens when they grow up, defy Mom and Dad by joining the military because the uniforms are so cool, find a copy of this dreadful book, which opposes the current climate fad, in the library and realize that, after reading other stuff like it, they were lied to their whole lives until they had enough sense to get out on their own?<\/p>\n<p>I think I\u2019ll see if I can get a copy of this book.
