Global warming philosophy

If you like philosophical discussions, here is a website that you may like. I found it first because of a blog on global warming: http://blog.deeperquestions.com/blog/?p=121

Then reading through some of the other posts found several more that I liked, especially this one, “The New Ugly American: From Being Hated to Being Despised”: http://blog.deeperquestions.com/blog/?p=101#more-101 This blog and the comments on it, compare the US to old westerns and demonstrate how Obama’s policies are taking the US from being hated for our virtues to being despised for our sins. I won’t try to cover all the details, but if you like this type of discussion, take a look.

Prior Private Sector Experience...

Interesting chart from a JPM newsletter. They undertook a study of key cabinet level appointees since Teddy Roosevelt. The goal was to understand the mix of public vs private sector experience. Each appointee’s background was rated for % private sector experience prior to his/her appointment. The results speak for themselves and they help to explain why the government is viewed as the solution rather than the problem by the current administration.
