You are just not using the proper technique when selling those fine pieces of merchandise.

If I could only get past Michael Moore being a lying greedy turd I could have him do a documentary about my "fantastic hoard of super valuable junk" and I'd be set for life.

I'm not a big fan either but I do give him credit for at least looking into what he was told and making the documentary instead of just brushing it off, ignoring the facts.
Most, because they've been lied to and brainwashed so bad don't even want to take the time to listen to anyone else's view or opinion.

I thought this was an interesting way of looking at climate change that I had never considered. From an article in The New Atlantis, Environmentalism as Religion by Joel Garreau:

For some individuals and societies, the role of religion seems increasingly to be filled by environmentalism. It has become “the religion of choice for urban atheists,” according to Michael Crichton, the late science fiction writer (and climate change skeptic). In a widely quoted 2003 speech, Crichton outlined the ways that environmentalism “remaps” Judeo-Christian beliefs:

"There’s an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with nature, there’s a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result of eating from the tree of knowledge, and as a result of our actions there is a judgment day coming for us all. We are all energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment. Just as organic food is its communion, that pesticide-free wafer that the right people with the right beliefs, imbibe."

Religious fundamentalists can look at anything and say "_____ has replaced religion today." Whatever it takes to try and feel less bewildered about the fact that not everyone is like them.

You wouldn’t happen to be an urban atheist, would you?

With February half over and the forecast for the next two weeks in the mid 50’s I can say I’ve never experienced a milder winter in Texas. December brought two days of single digits and after nothing below freezing all winter. This is the main reason I moved from Buffalo. Look at the winter they had.
