Last weekend, I caught an interview with Jill Stein – the Green Party’s candidate for President.
While she stands zero chance of winning and I disagree with most of her positions, the interview was interesting.
She was articulate and cut to the chase on the issues in a simple understandable way.
Example: “We should go with renewable energy because pollution from fossil fuels is responsible for more than 200,000 deaths each year.”
That resonated with me.
No reliance on weather predictions from dudes who predicted that Hermine would devastate the East Coast this past weekend.
Just a simple: Stop pollution, it causes deaths every year.
I can buy in to that argument faster than worrying about forecasts of the seas rising in a couple of hundred years.

According to several polls – the MorningConsult being among the latest – a majority of likely voters would like to see Libertarian Gary Johnson and Greenie Jill Stein on the presidential debate stage even though they are below the 15% popularity threshold.
Based on the Stein interview, I’d like to see more of Johnson and Stein. I wouldn’t waste my vote on either of them, but I’d like to here more.

The prime argument against their participation is that it would shorten the time allotted to Clinton and Trump …
