Sounds more like Eng/ Lit, Poli. Sci would be more along the lines of Capone's "Vote early and vote often".

Me thinks they have truly missed the major cause of green house gas. Washington, when ever one of them speaks.

I'm going to give you a trade secret, no BS, you want the cliff notes of American politics? Read a good biography of Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt (Teddy) and Washington . Then read Whitman, Thoreau, Baldwin and Thompson(Hunter S.) Leaven that with the Federalist and Anti-Federailst papers, Aristotle's Politics, Lockes Second Treatise On Civil Government,Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and John Stuart Mill's On Liberty. You do that, and you're half way to a grad degree for less than three hundred bucks, and no, I'm not kidding. You understand these guys, you understand America.

PS De Touquville is worth while as well

FQ, I'm disappointed, I learned far more reading about James J. Curly,Big Bill Thompson, and William M. Tweed. Herodotus, Tuchmann and Keegan helped. As may be apparent I'm more a student of Machiavelli, than the more Utopian thinkers.
Actually I was surprised to see Hunter S Thompson on your list, Never could figure out if he was a genius who occasionally, (OK frequently ) did acid, or just a nut case who was occasionally right   but his style is much easier to read than most of those other guys.
Style is why I could never get through Shakespeare but enjoyed Virgil and Homer.
Thank God you didn't include any Russians, those guys ALL take 200 pages to say "it was a pretty sunset over the little craphole village, so we beat up some Jews"

Great Tom. Now I am going to get fined for the amount of 'pollutants' I put into the atmosphere.

Pretty sure I account for the other ¾ of the methane out there (between the beer, chili and tacos I consume).

With a combination like that you should be more concerned with UN weapons Inspectors than the EPA.

You just accounted for 3 of the 4 major food groups.  IE:  Beer, chili, tacos and pizza.

I am trying to figure out why the 100 million + buffalo that used to inhabit North America didn't cause Global Warming, but our modern cattle do......
