As a farmers daughter I was raised to understand the the land was not mine to destroy but mine to care for.
The Pope has every right to call us out on this issue.

(135,425 posts)went and got a baseball bat (and it would have to be a baseball bat, since George Will thinks he's some kind of baseball expert) and took that bat, and used it to beat the living SHIT out of George Will for what he did to Jimmy Carter with that stolen book....
...I think Pope Francis should FORGIVE Jimmy Carter for that act!!!
"Go, and sin no more, my son!! And say--here's a sharpie, could you autograph that bat and let me have it? Bless you, my child!!!"

(12,754 posts)In 1995, when the GOP took over the Congress, Will wrote a column in which he said -- and I'm quoting from memory here -- "The GOP should put all the money for AIDS and all the money for Public Radio into the same pot and then sit back and laugh while the liberals fight over it."
I would like to meet him just once -- so I could spit in his pasty face.
