Some old business, Tim. At least twice, when we've been discussing global climate change, I've mentioned that the basis for the Kyoto Protocol was established with the active participation of pappy Bush but you never reacted to that tidbit and I don't know if the point got across. So here it is again, courtesy of today's NYT. Just FYI. <<"Kyoto has become something of an albatross," said William K. Reilly, who was administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under Mr. Bush's father. "Deficiencies with Kyoto are advanced as a reason not to address the climate problem seriously. It's as if it's the only mode for addressing the problem." Mr. Reilly worked on the first climate treaty, the 1992 Framework Convention on Climate Change, which was signed by the first President Bush nine years ago, but was strictly voluntary. That earlier accord gave rise to the Kyoto Protocol, which is expected to be formally adopted at a meeting in the fall in Marrakesh, Morocco.>> nytimes.com

Here's a classic example of a stupid, nanny law. <<But the survey found that half of those with V-chips did not know that they had them, even though they had bought new television sets. And of those who did, only about one-third said they had used them. Based on its research, the foundation concluded that 7 percent of all parents were using the V-chip nationally, even though the survey still found that parents were highly concerned about sex and violence on television.>> nytimes.com
