a real letter to the editor

Rate this Entry
As many of you may know, I live in Arkansas. I’ve blogged before about how I hate the Dog Patch image that comes with living here in the Ozarks.

This is a real letter to the editor that was published in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette on April 16, 2007. It’s too funny.

Daylight exacerbates warning
You may have noticed that March of this year was particularly hot. As a matter of fact, I understand that it was the hottest March since the beginning of the last century. All of the trees were fully leafed out and legions of bugs and snakes were crawling around during a time in Arkansas when, on a normal year, we might see a snowflake or two. This should come as no surprise to any reasonable person. As you know, Daylight Saving Time started almost a month early this year. You would think that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate. Or did they ? Perhaps this is another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat. Perhaps next time there should be serious studies performed before Congress passes laws with such far-reaching effects.

    I don't think she was serious. Actually she was probably making fun of the people who dispute global warming, like me. But I'll have the last laugh. I know I will.

    Global warming...
    I agree, higley... Where to even start? Show me the evidence!! If the earth is billions of years old...which is a crock...then I'd imagine that there are cycles that last more than a century...and we haven't been studying the evidence for global warming near long enough to know anything. As I have said before...this earth was designed to adjust to anything that we can hand out.

    that's funny. Reminds me of a story of a woman who complained that the government were putting dodgy chemicals in the water supply because when she put her sprinkler on it made a rainbow and, in her words, 'that's just not natural'. Cool story MotherH.

    Whether Global warming is real or not, most people that debate it talk out of their arse on both sides of the argument.

    Connie's letter however rings more true than a cowbell on a race car.
