Hoax. Fraud. Inadequate.

Editor,

JFK said we were going to the moon. He didn't know how we were going to get there, and he didn't have an answer to every objection raised by every nattering nabob of negativity.

But that was another USA --- a USA with a can-do attitude, a USA inspired with a vision of doing something great, something no one could ever dream of doing alone.

Now climate change is a "hoax." Renewable energy is "inadequate." Green technology is "a fraud."

You know who are a hoax, inadequate and a fraud? Those sanctimonious, smug, chicken-hearted Republicans --- ready to install a Big Brother government-issue spy-cam in your bedroom, palms up begging for grease from big-money criminals in $1,000 suits, and so small-minded and backward they can't dream of anything bigger than letting the oceans and the sky be trashed with oil so they can see a couple more zeroes on the bottom lines in their own portfolios.

Anyone who votes for any Republican for any office anywhere in this country needs to have their head examined.
