Last week, we were among a handful of organizations who received a letter signed by 13 members of Congress claiming that we may be violating Exxon’s right to free speech. They’re requesting that we divulge any communication we may have had with state officials and many private organizations with regard to looking into what Exxon knew about climate change and when. At face value this request is a threat to constitutional rights.

Did anybody write back to The Erstwhile 13 and suggest they get a brain scan… not to see if there’s anything wrong upstairs, but just to check if there is a brain or just grey matter from too many undigested Big Macs?

There was a time in America (think back to “The Scarlet Letter”) when shame was a major moral force and agent for governing behavior. As your example demonstrates (along with the current presidential campaign), that time is long past. Shamelessness is now business as usual.

Dr. Stein, the super-rich can live by their own rules and morals. The same is not true for the rest of humanity. Just think of it: A man is choked to death by police for selling loose cigarettes outside a store, while those who destroyed the lives of millions during the financial crisis of 2008 are still free and fleecing us for more and more.

Race for money makes them blind. Future catastrophes will affect their own children, but they don’t see it, or rather don’t care.

Inese, They must have some plan for their children to survive the catastrophe. Money can build bunkers deep underground. They also have plans to set up a colony on Mars.
