If you go back to the Samuelson piece, which started this conversation, the general mood one gets from it is to simply give up. I didn't get that at all. Sure, give up on the current approach, about which, to put it gently we disagree, a less gentle way being that you are wrong. <g> Not give up on solving the problem. The message is that only once we've given up on the current approach can we begin to solve the problem. As long as you irrevocably equate solving the problem with following the Gore tack, you will think that giving up on his approach is giving up on global warming. I think this is the same thing as thinking of those who don't favor a welfare state as being heartless re the poor. Or thinking that those who don't favor the Iraq war aren't patriots. Same thing. Support for the approach and for the objective are not the same thing.
