Teach your children
Dean Barnett breaks some disturbing news from the worlds of, uhh, “literature” and “science”:
Are you concerned that your child is too happy? Do you want him to enjoy beatings from his classmates because he lectures them on the evils of their Styrofoam cups? Are you desperate for your progeny to become a tedious pedant?
Then I have good news for you. Al Gore is releasing “the first ever Children’s Book on Climate Change!”
From the publisher’s press release:
This concise and informative series, printed on recycled paper, introduces children to the critical issue of climate change and offers information on clean, green solutions to the problem. Beautiful photographs, detailed illustrative work, and natty designs make this series a visual delight.
Gotta get them fer-tile young brains washed early, right, Reverend Al?

That cartoon was like the green movement's Triumph of the Will.
Needless to say, it didn't work with me so somehow I'm not concerned that it will work now. As soon as little Johnny discovers he'll get a lot more teenage nookie by having a bitchin' ride than he will by handing out recycling pamphlets, you can bet that he'll change his tune.
