Seeing and Assuming Whatever We Want

YOU CAN ALREADY HEAR our conservative global warming denying friends across the fruited plain. They are ridiculing the very idea of global warming, as one hideously brutal cold wave after another sweeps across America, one after another, all winter long. But the tuth is, of course, that in the coming era of climate change,in which accumulated carbon in the earth's atmosphere causes increasing quantities of heat to be retained in the atmosphere, and in the oceans, brutal hot will be accompanied by brutal cold, alternately, in a world of extreme weather. According to current climate change projections, Europe, during global warming, will in fact enter a prolonged ice age, as artic ice melts and cools the ocean currents which traditionally carry warmth across the European continent. Any excuse to deny climate change. Just assume that cold winter weather disproves climate change, because you want it to. How brilliant. Of course, such is the nature of the human animal. To deny, and to presume. During a recent discussion on the Bible with someone with whose opinion I differed, the person had the audacity to esclaim "you haven't read the Bible!" I assured her that I had, wondering how she ever got the information that I hadn't, other than making it up. We see what we want to see, and assume what we want to assume. Have you ever had anyone tell you what you're thinking, or what you think, or claim to? Sure you have. We all have. How many times have you heard a sentence which begins "you think". What? You think? How can any sentence possibly begin with those two words, and be called logical? In reality, it can't. But that doesn't stop us.
