Have you ever heard of the normalcy bias? I had a bout with it today.
All of this “learning” about alternative heating…
Which is the right choice?
Wood?
Corn?
Why am I looking into this anyway???
Oh, I remember…
Because the people presently running our government are determined to pass the cap and trade bill. During the campaign, our current President said that electricity rates “would necessarily double or triple.” If that happens, I still have to keep my family warm in the winter.
Am I crazy to believe that? Most of my co-workers think so. Maybe they are right…
Maybe I should just wait and see…
like most everyone else…
But, who predicted that the government would close 749 Chrysler dealerships (that just happened to have contributed to the opposing party during the last election) before taking over two of the three major car manufacturers? Who thought the government would nationalize the health care system while 65-70% of the people were openly opposed to such legislation?
As tempting as it is to do nothing, I am going to continue pressing forward.
