Don't you think most hunters and fishermen are conservative?
We love the environment and don't want to see it destroyed..Things like Ducks Unlimited for example..TR first established the National Parks..Boy Scouts respect and love the environment..things like that..
Assisting in their returning to dust would be a poetic form of recycling. I can't see how they would disapprove.
Arrest them and put them in a walled compound set up with all the conveniences of the 14th Century. Give them nothing at all but what they would have had in the 14th Century, and leave them alone.
That will make them happy and us happy and will be a useful experiment for historians -- and a nice lesson for the rest of them too.
Call me an enviro-nut but I could go for owning a casino and selling tax-free cigarettes.
Yep! John Clark's stock went up quite a few points with me with his solution to the enviro-wackos at the end of "Rainbow Six."
I suspect none of these people would survive for two weeks out in the bush. In fact, you could drop these savages into a remote valley filled with wild food, and these maggots wouldn't know what's good to eat unless they saw an apple on a stand with a label that says "organic."
Ugh
After a few weeks in a "Stone Age", these bozos would be begging for some hunters to protect them from the wolves and big cats...
"They are people who have never been hungry, never done any hard physical work, never been seriously cold..."
How right you are. I saw this first hand over 30 years ago when some spoiled rich kids bought a "farm" and formed a commune. Perhaps the greatest contradicition I had witnessed at that time was their dependence on Food Stamps - for which they qualified because they had small children and none of them worked.
When I was young, I enjoyed reading Thoreau, because he wrote of self-reliance. These folks never ever approached being self reliant when mom and dad were just a phone call away.
Pretty frightening stuff here.
"I suspect that eradicating smallpox was wrong. It played an important part in balancing ecosystems."Keep these people talking! In fact, give 'em megaphones."The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a good thing...."
"To feed a starving child is to exacerbate the world population problem."
Here's a good rule of thumb:
If the "environmentalists" are for it, oppose it. If they're against it, support it.
Wrong! But you can see how somebody who associates only with people like these could come to this conclusion.

The magnitude of the ever-present cognitive disconnect these people suffer stunes my beeber. Sheesh! Smallpox (and other diseases their immune systems were unprepared for) did a great deal to wipe out Indian populations...

Agreed. In fact, they'd likely starve to death or poison themselves since I doubt that they would deign to kill any game for food, many of these freaks being vegetarians and unschooled in what you can eat and what you can't.
I think the finest example of honest communal living is the Amish. They have managed to build up themselves a highly admired society which actually is societally productive. These people would never depend on food stamps, but they are not shy about hard work either. The key difference here is that they have a common belief in a transformative deity (Born Again) and a community committment to rejecting those who will not abide by their strict codes.
Even if the New ecofascist order could create something like this for a few brutal years, it would quickly be overturned. There's one thing that Communism, EcoFascism and Islamofascism have in common is that they all must have complete global control in order to function. There is no room for tolerance of any other philosophy or order. They all blame their failure on the success of other philosophies.
In contrast the Amish THRIVE in the community. They live with and trade with the community while living differently and apart from it. The Amish arent trying to save the world, they are focused on trying to save their own souls. Perhaps the EcoFascists could take a lesson.
"The Amish arent trying to save the world, they are focused on trying to save their own souls. Perhaps the EcoFascists could take a lesson."
This is a very good point. Environmentalists I have been acquainted with do not practice what they preach.
They scream "no war for oil", but drive cars that consume oil.
During the WTO demonstrations a few years ago, George Will wrote of how protestors travelled to Seattle by jet - a real departure from the early American pioneers they envision themselves as being.
While I admit to not knowing much about Amish life, and am not disregarding your point, one way of looking at the Amish is that even if they were out to change the world, the example they set is that changing the world always involves changing one's self first.
The earth's environment would be vastly improved is every one of these "experts" were fed to sharks.
