After finishing up at the Green Party Convention, we decided to do a “Keystone State Tour” through Pennsylvania. \u00a0 In Lewistown, my son Joseph and I played basketball on a Sunday afternoon with a group of high school students. \u00a0 They were, by far<\/em>, some of the most respectful, well mannered youth we’ve come across in the country. \u00a0 I have often talked about the degree of civility in general (and youth respect for adults in specifics) that we’ve lost in this country. \u00a0 The next day I told reporter \u00a0that, not only have we lost civility, but we’ve lost a good deal of common sense. \u00a0 Fr. Bateman at Sacred Heart Church here has a bumper sticker that shows a little unborn baby in the womb with the words: “At 24 days the heart starts beating.” \u00a0<\/em> To think this is anything other than a small human being is, well, so tremendously devoid of common sense. \u00a0 I also said that in the face of global warming, I looked at the environment as a Pro-Life issue as well. \u00a0 “No environment, no life,” I said… \u00a0 In Dubois, Pennsylvania, I told ABC News<\/em> that Liz and I are running as “concerned parents” who want to make sure there is an environment (read: world) left for our children. \u00a0 What sane parent wouldn’t? \u00a0 The next day during a whistle-stop event in downtown Dubois, I told a reporter from the Courier-Express<\/em> newspaper that we must cut back on our fossil fuel use exponentially (read: sacrifice) and in tandem increase exponentially our use of solar, wind, geothermal and other forms of clean, renewable energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
