From the Portland Tribune in a guest column:

I’m sure this will delight those who’ve wondered what institution I’ve escaped from. I am very pleased with the increasing prices of gasoline. I only wish that it would go higher – about $6 a gallon would be about right in my opinion.

For over three decades we’ve ignored warnings about the planet being in danger because of environmental pollution and the global warming it is producing.*Year after year brought new incontrovertible evidence that the use of fossil fuel was bringing about a catastrophic change. We are now told that the Arctic ice may be completely melted during the coming summer. We ignored the disappearing snows of Mount Kilimanjaro. Will we ignore this?
