    I grew up in St. Louis and had the privilege of actually seeing Stan Musial play. If he hadn't lost a year of play to military service, I'm sure he would have topped 500 home runs. And he was a thoroughly nice and decent human being. He will be remembered as one of the greatest ballplayers of all time. RIP Stan.

    If anyone is manufacturing anything, it is the busy bodies that manufacture one "crisis" after another in order to justify their insatiable desire to control the rest of us. They call salt and sugar "chemicals" in order to alarm the public, because no one likes "chemicals" being added to their food and drink. Create enough fear and you can get government to control our diets. The United States, at one time a free country, has been taken over by fanatics and control freaks who believe they are so morally and intellectually superior to everyone else that they must decide what the rest of us may eat and drink because we are so stupid we can't be allowed to make these decisions for ourselves. They just can't stomach the idea of a free people going about their business without their "help."

    Greenies have wonderful imaginations. In their make-believe fantasy worlds, they believe that primitive economies can emerge fully developed into 21st century economies without using any older, less efficient technologies or going through any intermediate steps that might require carbon-based forms of energy. They love "the planet" so much that they are ready to shut down any economic development that might require carbon, regardless of how many people this technology would help emerge from dire poverty. Yes, they love the planet; too bad they have no use for people.

    So do the 116 heads of government and state understand the stakes?

    "Green energy" is not about the environment, and it is not about conservation. It is about controlling you. The authoritarians parading around in the U.N. know the only way they can do that is to put pressure on your home country to get tough with you. They want your government to dictate to you how many tvs, dishes, knives forks spoons and ohashi you can have. When you can wash your clothes. What you can and cannot eat. What light bulbs to use.

    If anyone is creating chaos it's these ludites; these self appointed guardians of the planet who want to drive everyone's economy and finances back to the stone age.

    Japan and the rest of the civilized world should tell these folks to take a long walk off a short pier. And to the person with the extra tv that she doesn't "need"... why in the world are you feeling guilty about it? Can't you just accept the fact that you bought it because you wanted it? Do you have to flog yourself for buying something just because you wanted it? Is that a crime?

    Many of us are tired of being hectored and labeled racist by people like this Adrienne Clarkson. Canada is a fine country, but look at its history. It was peacefully formed as a backwater of the English empire. Its character is mostly British with a little French thrown in for leavening. It has been extremely selective as to whom it lets into its country. It has been protected against foreign enemies by the might of the United States, and it never fought a war, either internally or foreign, that truly forged Canadian as a distinct nationality. Canadians that think they can call anyone racist in good conscience do so only because Canada is practicially the only country existing today that lacks an authentic history of its own.

    I have news for you, Andrienne: identification with one's nationality does not a racist make.

    cO2 is not a pollutant. It is as essential for plant life as oxygen is for animal life. In case you don't know, plants ingest cO2 and emit oxygen as a waste product. I agree with NeverSubmit; the Royal Society isn't about science, it's about politics. When the "elite" start talking about population management, they aren't talking about themselves; they are talking about the rest of us.
