Some of you may remember a previous post on global warming. In recent weeks I’ve seen an enhanced interest in climate change and have experienced some additional arguments against the much trumpeted predicted catastrophic weather changes.

I’ve learned over the last several years that I’m more of an Independent than a Republican.

So I’m still on my Orson Scott Card kick and recently finished The Worthing Saga. It’s a collection of stories with a similar theme or at least related from the same concepts.
