    I'm not following on how this failed effort will punish Exxon for free speech. There is obviously something I don't know. What is it?

    That's dumb, George. Authoritarianism is a key method of conservatism, because conservatism doesn't want things to change, or at least it wants them to change slowly. That requires just as much control as the forcing of change would.

    It's been tried 50 times and failed. It's going to take a lot of authority to change it, apparently.

    So keeping it the same, a conservative position, takes more authority. Thank you.

  10. it takes very little authority to do nothing
    Once your side does something it takes authority to get rid of it and even more authority to enforce it
