The melting got it’s own segment on ABC news tonight. No mention of it happening every 150 years.

It makes me sad to think that the ijits at ABC don’t want to think beyond their bias.

But, it makes me sadder and madder to think that they only care about twisting the truth to influence those who are not bright enough to question the pablum they are being spoon-fed.

My greatest fear is that it is the latter.

And, this is my greatest fear about the coming election. Too many just don’t know what they don’t know, and they don’t care, as long as someone keeps the pablum coming.

Interestingly enough, you will find that a lot of American cities had record flooding from 1888-1894 as well. We learned to build dikes, use low lying areas for parkland and recreational areas and build our bridges higher.

Then there's the summer of 1816 (Year Without a Summer), which sent scores of New Englanders fleeing to upstate New York and inspired the building of the Erie Canal: cheap labor + new farmlands opened needing cheap transportation to markets along the Hudson = economic benefits of a canal connecting Buffalo and Lake Erie to the Albany and the Hudson River. And all with money raised privately and at the state and local levels.

Before the socialists took power, every natural calamity turned into an economic opportunity.

Now, the socialists subsidize people to rebuild in flood plains and to stay put in pockets of urban economic poverty and even invite foreigners to join them.
