MassPIRG

[dmaze]

Someone from MassPIRG dropped by last night trying to get me to sign up. The spiel, as I understood it: global warming is a problem. Check. Mr. W isn't going to do anything about it. Check. If I join MassPIRG, then maybe the esteemed Mr. Romney will. Uh, huh? It's not obvious to me that (a) Massachusetts, on its own, can cause significant changes in emissions policy, (b) our Republican presidential-candidate governor is motivated to address this issue, or that (c) my joining your organization makes a difference in any of this.

It's true, I have mixed feelings about the door to door thing. It does seem to me that the kids stand a chance of learning more than they would flipping burgers...but not all the lessons are necessarily good ones. :/
