Yeah, you can cherry pick images all you want, it doesn't change the other 95% of the American South's behavior. Try changing that.

I can easily find people in New York City behaving politely and being nice to each other. Happens every day. So why again aren't New Yorkers "real Americans" according to the conservative right?

I've been to NYC several times and have yet to visit a city in the USA where people are less "nice" to each other.

I agree we can cherry pick all day however and it'll get us nowhere.

Furthermore, Al Gore has done more for the American economy than all Republican politicians and voters who have ever lived have done.

LOL
Why did he buy a beach front mansion if he believes the ocean is rising?
Al Gore reminds me of one of those Christian revival ministers who can save your soul if you give him ALL your money.

have you been in Houston for more than a few days? Houston is not "conservative" by any stretch of imagination.

That's not what I said. I said

There are consequences to allowing polluters to change the climate. Learn the lessons of history or be doomed to repeat them.

The only bigot here is you. History matters. When Katrina hit New Orleans, the police were shooting blacks who were trying to evacuate or help others.

Yeah they were helping those without flood insurance by burglarizing their houses. That way they could file an insurance claim for burglary. I don't know why the police couldn't understand that.

Is looting insurance more expensive than flood insurance?

The plan is quite simple. Tax pollution at whatever rate it takes to clean up the pollution. The free market takes care of the rest. Either pollution continues but is cleaned up, or pollution stops. Same effect either way. It's a more efficient allocation of resources.
