I don't get the opportunity much, though. And there's nothing I can do about it. It makes my skin crawl when I sell "An Inconvenient Truth," knowing that "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming" is sitting on the shelf collecting dust.Janda/Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754631494233387294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-19553399123796061522007-04-05T22:56:00.000-05:002007-04-05T22:56:00.000-05:00The problem, though, as I see it, Anne, is that th...The problem, though, as I see it, Anne, is that the media only hypes one side of the argument. Even the bookstores realize that bad news sells books and that good news is not nearly so profitable to all involved.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-41934134417437025992007-04-05T22:15:00.000-05:002007-04-05T22:15:00.000-05:00The good news is, if you keep digging through the ...The good news is, if you keep digging through the bookstore, you'll find books on the same subjects but with the opposite point of view. <BR/><BR/>What you see on display is all marketing and politics...

It was an all day event. <BR/><BR/>You're right. This end of the world stuff is a downer when there's so much of it around.
