The term "Sophomore" means "wise fool". It's probably one of the first oxymorons ever created. I've decided to add a label for articles that qualify under this category, particularly as it relates to science, the environment, global warming, or just plain ole common sense (and the lack thereof).
When I hear what people advocate for in order to "save the planet", it makes me think of the verses in Scripture like Rom 1:22: "Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools..." and 1 Cor 3:19: "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight."
This article qualifies, then, as my first post under this label (I found it over at HotAir).
"In other words, we have opted for a product that has much more impact on our environment and could turn households into toxic-waste sites to replace a product that uses a little more energy, a change driven ironically by environmentalists. What’s next — lead containers to replace Tupperware?"
