I'm no "liberal" in that sense. I'm talking about hard-line
conservatives who don't give a crap about anything they can't
monetarily benefit from. Save the liberal analysis for another time -
I'd probably agree with much of it.

The man claimed that 99% of autistic kids are just brats. He was
pu****ng statistics way too far.

You've been successfully brainwashed by Creationist counter-
propaganda, I see. Science is just fine until it questions the greed
imperative. The blessed "economy" is considered independent of the
natural processes that allow it to exist in the first place.

I notice you didn't deny that general concept, though. You know it's
true. See subject line.

No, it's the future of your own life, actually, if you're around long
enough. You're stuck in a denial loop, like the 50 million+ Americans
who've rationalized away the dangers of smoking. How can they be
expected to care about the whole world if they willingly trash their
own bodies? People are small-minded about many things.
