INANITY OVER WICKED COAL, ..OR

GREEN, MY ASS!

George Carlin once remarked that having a no-smoking section of a restaurant was just like having a no-peeing section in a swimming pool. Compare that to the following situation.

We're not supposed to burn our fabulously plentiful coal, but it's quite OK to mine it, disrupt traffic in cities by coal trains, and ship it to China on vessels that are notoriously the greatest polluting engines on earth.

Now, if China burns coal, is that somehow better for the GLOBAL - that's the adjective so vital everywhere, right? - environment than if we burned it? Does having a no-coal-burning section of the planet help the ones that do not?

Everyday, this BADministration declnes to new lows of sense.

Y.C.
