Wayback, I've read Klein online and found her to be a compelling writer. But 
when I think about my Dad and stepMom, staunch Republicans, I bet they never 
even heard of Silent Spring or Rachel Carson. Even though my Dad's a nature 
lover. Mostly what they know is being small and successful business owners. 
They're gonna choose capitalism over climate every time. My guess is most 
Republicans will simply label Klein a liberal and not pay much attention to 
what she has to report.      From: "waybac...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]"

    An important new book just came out about capitalism and climate change:  
This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate, by Naomi Klein.  But the 
converted, anti SUV folks are probably the only ones who will read it. The 
review in today's NY Times called it the most important environmental book 
since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.  (I gave a book report on Silent Spring in 
high school, so it made an impression).  I will have to pop an antidepressant 
before reading Klein's book, which I intend to do as soon as the library gets  
it.  I think the gist is that capitalism as we know it cannot continue if we 
intend to deal with climate change.  #yiv1118244980 #yiv1118244980 --
