GET OFF YOUR CAN OR KEEP QUIET

A critic told me that when her husband starts quaking at alarming predictions of global warming’s ravagement she now asks him point blank–what is he doing about it?  Her tolerance of passive panic has come to an end.   I feel the same way.  I found myself almost barking, “I don’t want to talk about Obama!” to a brilliant intellectual and musician.  Because that’s, unfortunately, as far as it goes with him.  Like so many liberals, he cannot seem to bring himself to imagine that any participation in the governing process beyond voting every two years is not only an option, but an imperative.
