Call me old fashioned

Why is it OK for Coalition MP's in the House of Representatives and the Senate and News Limited columnists and other people who have been captured by the far right to deny that climate change exists - when the science clearly shows that it does?

And why is it OK for people like coalition Senator Minchin to encourage the dingbats who threaten our climate scientists?

Why aren't the Federal Police on the case and why aren't these threatening moron's and their cheer squad sitting in a jail cell? Mr Keelty has retired already so he can't be the reason ;-)

It's pretty clear that these people are impervious to logical and factual argument and discussion. They hear it but they won't believe it and they certainly don't want to know about it. Apparently, their ideology outweighs truth and facts. A bit like religion really.

Their behaviour reminds me of the petulant little child whose parents wanted to let him *be himself* just before he used a fork to explore the power socket.

Call me old fashioned but why is it OK for these folks to run riot and rampage through our society - adversely impacting our living environment, risking the future of the planet and making life worse for our grandchildren and their children?

I suspect that our national tolerance is being seriously tested. Well mine is anyway ;-)

Pretty soon normal folks will get sick of this nonsense and then we will have a problem on our hands - it might be a bit of fun and games to coalition parliamentarians but it is our future that they are playing with.

Someone might start playing with the future of their grandkids - and then lets see how that pans out. Revolution isn't pretty.
