In other words, it feels to me like there's some sort of
distorted feedback loop, wherein candidates don't raise environmental
issues because they
think they may be controversial and divisive (though, as McCain or my dad's generation of Republicans show, the planet obviously crosses party lines), and the public doesn't raise climate
issues enough because it apparently isn't
on the political menu, like religion at dinner parties, but that doesn't mean we don't believe (in climate change or the need for our change).
So for me, that means that the holidays are when all my
issues flare like a Yule Log and I have to pray for insight, the ability to identify and name my
distorted thinking, and PEACE
on EARTH, at least inside my head.
