Gosh Bill. Why is your post at Facebook so angry? The article I suggested you read about the economics of the XL pipeline was in Forbes, a very conservative mag.
I understand that the facts in the article offend you by saying that the Republican support for the Pipeline was irrational since it would create few short term jobs. I certainly was not telling you what >>you<< should think. Why in all the world would I do that? What >>I<< think is that everyone benefits from reading facts , Careful thinking is useful whether it comes from Forbes, the Wall Street Journal or the Guardian.
You seem to think I am a member of some group that is subversive to your cause. That is not at all true. As for the group I support, .. what in hell do YOU mean? I do not support the Dem Party, if that is what you mean. I call myself a Jeffersonian believe that he intended America to provide OPPORTUNITY for all. Mr. Jefferson Did you know he refused to endorse the Constitution until Madison agreed to add the Bill of Rights? He also founded the Univ of Virginia as a free school and wrote about how opportunity began with education.
I would join a party built on Tom’s principles. One other part of these principles was Jefferson’s devotion to science. You might benefit from reading his 0lans for Merriweather Lewis. The Lewis And Clark expedition was this country’s first great PUBLICALLY FUNDED research project.
As one of our founders, Mr., Jefferson would be ashamed of the Know Nothing Party of the 1850s and its 
successors in today’s Republicans.
