As you may or may not have noticed, Yahoo! has added a new category on the left (politically-speaking and referring to its location on the home page), called "Green". If you click on it, you will be taken to a page on global warming, with a running count of pledges to reduce their "carbon footprints" and a CO2 calculator which you can use to determine how evil you are as an individual. I am about twice the average person, so quite evil. Personally, I blame this on our renter, Lindsey, but oh well. :)
Anyway, the page also has a quote by a famous person that randomly generates each time you load the main page. This is the quote that was showing when I opened the page: "The supreme reality of our time is the vulnerability of this planet. - John F. Kennedy"
Somehow, that quote didn't seem quite right coming from a president in the 1960's, so I looked it up. The actual quote is this: "The supreme reality of our time is our indivisibility as children of God and OUR common vulnerability ON this planet." Kennedy made this statement in an address to the Irish Parliament about 5 months before he was killed.
Hmmm, now that doesn't sound anything like what the warm-mongers on Yahoo quoted him as having said. Either they purposely twisted the quote to fit their needs or they have very poor researching skills.
