[AGL] Joe Ben Clark recommends An Inconvenient Truth the movie

[michelemason]

<reply> Since you all have seen the movie and more, maybe you can tell 
me—what happens to the UK and how soon.
You know I feel guilty because I own a '76 chevy p/u for mostly hauling 
hay and need it. I can work on it myself—no computer parts. Further, 
because of propane cost, I have to heat my place with a wood burning 
stove. There's plenty of dead wood on my place though my health has 
made it more difficult to gather, split/cut. These things may be 
changed sooner than later, but for now they are necessary for survival. 
Confession IS good for the soul; I feel better. Best to all. Michele
