You might wonder why TIME magazine devoted three pages in its latest issue to the ?psychic toll? associated with this spring’s high-profile oil spill.
The answer looks a little clearer if you read the next article, a one-page ?viewpoint? piece from Michael Grunwald, who?s not known for his conservative or libertarian tendencies. Grunwald tells us ?so far, the predictions of ecological catastrophe on the Gulf Coast seem overblown.? In other words, the spill?s real toll doesn?t match the rhetoric from environmental extremists.
That?s good information to keep in mind as those extremists and their statist friends try not to let a good crisis go to waste.
