And those traffic laws are immoral and illogical.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

What, exactly, is so obnoxious about her? Even with specifics, why can't I apply those same remarks toward die-hard opponents of "SJWs", gun control, those favoring confederate statues remain in place, body shamers, shamers of the "unmanly", and so forth.

If anything, it's the defenders of tradition or the status quo who are more truly unfair and unjust than those who ask to change it (within the limits of opposing laws that degrade others, and supporting laws that protect the same).

Climate change activists actually are rightfully putting fire under the feet of the powerful and "we the people" to adapt, unless we wish to see sea level rise flood out Miami, New Orleans, London, and every other coastal city in the world (and even whole tiny nations, for that matter; and two not-so-tiny ones: The Netherlands and Bangladesh).

I dare say she is better informed than you and not "dictating" anything. Yet some goof ball that thinks he's the "chosen one" is on the up and up and can dictate all he wants from extreme ignorance. That's what lunacy looks like.

Science fact would indicate she is not better informed. And she is most certainly dictating a false narrative.

Generally speaking, when I have a gun to my head I don't like the order I'm given even if I would take the same course of action had the gun not been there.

Just saying.
We are cooking this planet. The science is clear. What you do with that information is on you. What is your solution to the problem? Do nothing?

So what do YOU want to do? Do you honestly think you can reverse anything. Do you honestly think that anything America does will affect the rest of the worlds population and what their country's are doing? I mean what is the solution?

What would you do if your house is on fire?
