Doing it for or to the children?

"Our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands."

Who said it and what was the subject? Here are the choices.

A) Rush Limbaugh concerning solvency of Social Security
B) Sean Hannity concerning solvency of Medicare/Medicaid
C) Al Gore concerning man-made global warming
D) Glenn Beck concerning deficit spending and accumulating debt
E) Sarah Palin concerning latest healthcare reform bills
F) James Dobson on degradation of traditional families

While there may be a tinge of this rhetoric from each of these people on their respective issues, the exact quote belongs to Al Gore in reference to man-made global warming or climate change.

However, even after record snowfalls across the globe including six separate snow events (from flurries to 12") here in Wichita Falls, the release of emails from experts at U.K.'s East Anglia University detailing suppression of evidence countering their theory, the failure of the U.N.'s Copenhagen summit to craft a follow-up to the Kyoto Protocol due to the lack of science and false claims made in the 2007 IPCC report regarding melting glaciers and rising sea levels, he continues to promote, for all intents and purposes, the adoption of his "religion" into law. He may say the debate is over and the science is settled, but all of the foregoing items only heat up the debate. Nothing should be codified until we completely understand the climate which in my opinion will never happen.

At least we have some hard numbers on choices A, B & D. When the trustees of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid issue dire reports of the solvency of these "trusts" with unfunded liabilities in the tens of trillions of $ and the CBO projects and warns of continued deficit spending of $1 trillion plus per year and we as a society through our elected officials ignore them, our posterity will look back on us as a criminal generation.
