Gary,
Where there is a clear correlation between "over population" claims and the effect that man has on the planet due to same, those subjects might converge with Malthusianism and therefore might be on topic. But, claiming that JFK's speech writer knows what JFK would think about MMGW today (nearly 50 years postmortem) is clearly OFF TOPIC.
I didn't start the thread to talk about JFK's views on global warming or his love of the UN. If you want to discuss those things start a thread on it.

Gary Severson Wrote:Greg, in post 18 the writer talks about climate change and you didn't suggest he was off topic. Then in post 35 you talk about climate change & no one accuses you of being off topic. But here we are almost 4 mths. into the thread and when there are finally posts made that use analogies about JFK, the UN & MMGW you cry foul. You doth protest too loudly.
