The destruction of the extended family does not in any way, shape or form contribute to climate change. The extended family is not destroyed in my family. My children visit their grandparents and great grandparents. They talk on the phone with them every day and they play online games with them. Family is important to me, however there are others who family isn't so important. These would be the same people who are worried about what the haves have and making sure that they are just as up to date with them.

NASA has found that the climate is changing on other planets in our solar system. Gore would like us to believe that humans caused the climate change so he can tax the carbon dioxide we use. Who will this help? By no means will it help the planet but it sure will make him and others like him rich. Climate change is in fact a natural occurrence of this lovely planet we call home. Every so many hundred years the planet warms and then cools. Everyone wants to make money with climate change but who will they be taking money from? Certainly not the rich, yet again it will be the middle class struggling to pay for some lie.

Whether or not you visit your extended family has nothing to do with the planet climate changing. I seem to recall planes, trains and automobiles traveling down the road to grandma's house every weekend when I was growing up. Seems like if we have destroyed the extended family then we cut out a heck of a lot of driving to and from and in fact reduced the amount of gasoline we use each week. Funny how when you look at something from the other side you can see just how silly this argument is.

So I guess for those of you who believe that the extended family colapse has something to do with global warming I have only one thing to say, I have a bridge in texas if you want to buy it.
