I grew up about 10 miles south of the Iowa border and about 20 miles west 
of the Mississippi River.

One thing I have yet to understand is why has it become another 
conservative vs. progressive issue?  The twin slow moving train wrecks of 
Global Warming and Peak Oil will affect us all in many unforseen ways.

I'm not sure that it truly has become divisive. True, there is a
hardcore of radical righters who are whining loudly, but the rest of
us are seeing what's happening. We can argue about why it's happening,
but we can hardly dispute that it is happening.

Hey, the insurance companies are figuring it in. That's pretty mainstream.
