BREAKING: WA State Senate Republicans are requesting that Gov. Bob Ferguson call a special session to lower gas prices by pausing the Climate Commitment Act
The average gas price in WA is $5.02 a gallon, $1.23 over the national average of $3.79. Gas taxes also went up July 1.
Consider these words from 1920, written by French author Hilaire Belloc:
“The modern world imagines that it has outgrown religion. It has done nothing of the kind. It has merely forgotten it. And because it has forgotten it, it no longer understands itself. Men do not realize that the whole framework of their moral judgments, their political habits, and even their intellectual methods were formed within a Christian society and cannot exist long outside it. When that framework breaks, they will not find themselves enlightened, but bewildered; not free, but enslaved; not rational, but confused.”
“Do you guys remember Peanut? Peanut the squirrel. And they killed him. Killed him like a dog. That’s who these people are. We can’t ever forget that.”
