I gave up caring about it when Vanity Fair sent me the "Green Issue" a couple months ago. I don't know whether that's a win for the Right or Left but one thing's sure - just like the hopeless Palestine/Israel situation, I'm not reading about it anymore. I've been skipping that section of the Times since 1987. I can skip the "Green" section I'm sure the Sulzburgers are sure to add soon enough.

I know. But there's a difference between understanding that fuck all is ever going to be done about it and denying that it's actually happening. The latter just makes one look like a tube.
