Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. Thomas Paine, writing from Philadelphia, February 14, 1776

Elect Hillary: Ho More Hurricanes!
According to the Democrat candidate for president, "When it comes to protecting our country against natural disasters and the threat of climate change, once again, Donald Trump is totally unfit and unqualified to be our President." Implied in Hillary's statement is that she is fit and qualified to protect the USA from natural disasters and the threat of climate change. But how?
The answer was delineated by reporter Ron Allen, who said, “It’s very interesting that this is happening a day when there’s a hurricane bearing down on the United States and in the Caribbean, because these severe storms, beach erosions, intense weather episodes that we’ve had is perhaps the most practical sample of what the president was talking about as the threat that the planet faces... [This] is what this whole climate agreement signed by 190 nations and now ratified by 60 or so is designed to stop.”
Will this agreement also stop tornadoes, snowstorms, and earthquakes?
