  4. They’re blaming earthquakes and volcanoes on ‘global warming/climate change’. “Rising sea levels putting more pressure on the earth’s crust”. Good grief.

  5. I believe the false claim about ‘climate change’, has been causing my migraine headaches, my dysentery, my lack of expendable income, my sleep apnea, my erection dysfunction, my over-all anxiety and mostly my total distrust of government.

  6. Not all child labor is equally bad. Remember paper boys?, soda-jerks? the kid who mowed the neighborhood lawns?
    Child labor turned a group of teenage potential gang-bangers into national heroes–the pony express.
