The subject of global warming keeps coming up in these pages, either in the commentator”s columns that are printed, or in the letters written in reply. The nay-sayers always seem to add a pot shot at Al Gore as if that will take away some of the credibility of the information presented in his film “An Inconvenient Truth.”
I have seen the film several times and I find the data he presents compelling. I urge everyone to see the movie and make up your own mind.
But more importantly, there is another “inconvenient truth” that all Americans need to address. Every weekday at about 3:50 pm, and again at 5:50 p.m. on PBS, the names and faces of our fellow citizens killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are shown.
These men and woman, who have given the greatest sacrifice for all of us, deserve the highest respect of all of us. Please take the time to look at their faces and make up your own mind as to the direction our country should take.
