Whether it is King Canute or the Republicans, passing laws that insist the tides will tun back will not work.
Senator Jame Imhof even criticized the Pope for carpeting the science of global warming, .. saying tha Francis ought to leave science to the legislators. Of course God determines Mr. Imhofe’s reality. This raises a great question .. who has more power over God, Mr. Imhofe or the Pope?
Unfortunately both liberal and Republicans act as if sc ince can be legislated. First, marijuana wa soutlawed as a dangerous drig. That was never true. More recently we have passe draws that marijuan os a “medicine.” That was not true either. If there is a medical need for the active cnnabinoids in marijuan, prescription can be had. The good news now is that rational legislators in our state have finally accepted the science and made pot legal for any use.
No need to ask the Pope what he thinks!
