  3. I agree with 8:35. They think they have to tell you how to deal with excess heat, extreme cold. Next thing you know they will be telling you how to button your shirt.
    But then on the other hand, you look at and observe any democrat voter for even a short period of time and you know why. They have lost the ability to think for themselves.
