"That means the USA is energy efficient! You frikin' moonbat bozo!"
I'm with you on that. But let's take this guy's complaints and see what we might do to cut down on our consumption of vital resources, shall we?
1. Start with the United Nations: quit spending our ill-gotten to support it and their so-called peacekeeping
missions. Send the energy-sapping body to another, more green country.
2. Stop illegal immigration since we are already using too many resources for legal residents.
3. Stop funding the IMF and other international efforts because the disposible income we are using comes from selfish uses of resources.
4. Close the borders to all imports and make the country become self-sustaining.
5. Pull in our all troops from international postings and let those countries fend for themselves.
6. Give all countries nuclear technology so they can produce "clean" energy (or get into MAD again).
7. Stop all exports, since we obviously are producing more than the country needs and using precious resources in the process.
Now, as you call him, "frikin' moonbat bozo" sir, I guess everything will be happy and peaceful around the world, right? Kids will grow up to be healthy and self-sustaining, right? Or will the world devolve into total anarchy and political Darwinism? Do you want to live in a 7th Century Caliphate? Will that let you publish these cute little screeds against the powers-that-be?
I say to all these nut jobs, think carefully how the world would be if you got your wish. Go live for awhile in Saudi Arabia or Yemen and see if you really want that future for the University of Chicago. Because the United States and its allies, with all their "selfish" use of resources, is the only thing standing between you and the chopping block.
I like that one! The USA should just start handing out nukes to all the Eastern block countries and see how Russia, China, and Iran feel!
Forgot another energy-saving measure:
7. Ban all foreign university students and shut down universities since we obviously have more student slots than we need. Ban tenure since it is one of the most wasteful of our precious resource: students.
