“This begs the question: Does anyone not want to care for the environment?”
Melissa Clouthier,
I hate to seem so peevish, but this really bugs me. You made the common error among journalists, and equated ‘begging the question’ with ‘raising the question’. To beg the question is to commit a logical fallacy with a circular argument. L2logic101.
But, good point… When people are in economic trouble, they don’t care so much about superficial environmental concerns. Way to break the mold.
