What, precisely, are you talking about?
Remember, we're talking about 2000 here, not 2004. 9/11 had not
happened yet.
And so the economic impact (with little if any alleviation of global
warming or other environmental problems) that would result from
implementation of the Kyoto protocols and the push for more drastic
measures when those did not accomplish anything of significance
seemed to some a more clear and present danger than what might happen
in the name of a "war or terror" . . .
We had not been converted into a nation of wusses
who cower in the corner and strip of our clothes while going to
the airport yet. We were still a nation that believed in the
rule of law, who believed that torture was the kind of thing that
the "bad guys" do to their prisoner.
What unmitigated horse-shit.
Hope you compost that. And keep it away from California spinach.
