"So long as we are willing to include death among possible alternatives, we shall always be free to choose." James Burnam
Just heard an excellent, very energetic and entertaining speech by Marc Morano of Climate Depot here at our Economic Education Association of Alberta annual "Essentials of Freedom" conference. (It's on tomorrow as well if you're in Calgary and can join us.) Marc showed some clips from his film Climate Hustle and highlighted some of the absurd contradictions in the predictions of climate change alarmists, where falling or rising temperatures both cause drought and floods at the same time, as well as higher and lower crime, terrorism and probably a cracked kitchen sink as well.
Great stuff.

In my latest National Post column I say don't let the government wear us down so we accept military procurement that takes forever to buy almost nothing.
"Progress is the protection of all oppressions to-day; because progress tells us we are better than our fathers, even where conscience tells us we are worse than ourselves." G.K. Chesterton in New Witness July 19, 1918, quoted in Gilbert Magazine Vol. 20 # 1 (Sept.-Oct. 2016)
