Really cool!
What's this mean?
Yale Law completely wiped out any knowledge gained at Oxford.
Speth notes that, although scientists have long known that humans are causing the wholesale collapse of the natural world, ...
Please, don't encourage these people. Let them be. They only talk to one another.
“Gus” needs to be careful spewing his “credentials.” Slick Willie was a “Rhodes scholar.” From what I’ve read, he spent his days there listening to Beatle records. I don’t want to go into the alumni of Yale Law School.
With those words in my search engine I found this:
http://www.appropriate-economics.org/materials/Democratising_the_Wealth_of_Nations_-_Turnbull.pdf
And then some days I return here astounded at what I learned. The phrase caught my attention because how can wealth be ‘democratic,’ unless what they really mean is a fair distribution of wealth. Which if that is the case the idea of fair distribution is inherently unfair. Money/wealth is a tool and it is a reflection of a man's ability to use his mind. It is not something to be taken away from him because of his virtue to be productive.
And so by Art Hobson's own writting the first thing is to move to take a man's productivity away from him, to create that highly intellectual tool of guilt for having created his own wealth.
He has no new thoughts, just read the late eighteenth early nineteenth century anarchists, they have just found another excuse to promote their failed agenda.
That makes him more dangerous than all the smoke stacks and Suv's in North America put together.
Government IS the problem- Reagan..
Socialism has been ‘new and improved’ more times than Tide; the major difference between the two is that Tide still works.
I don't think this will be the kind of "revolution" they're anticipating.
They can ponder it all they want, however, as they sway in the breeze.
Except that the ringleaders have already admitted what they’re up to. The jig is up!

Wow. You’re right - really Communist dogma. The sentence I really liked was this:
“America’s crisis of high poverty rates and concentrated wealth for a tiny minority poses a threat to our democracy and the environment alike.”
High poverty rates? Compared to what? I was actually a member of the working poor only 11 years ago - I’ve since worked my way up and out of it, thanks - and there are two major health problems among America’s poor: obesity and drug addiction. I’m sorry, but if your ass is as wide as a barn door and you have enough cash for really rippin’ weed, you are, by common definition, not poor.
In fact, the environmentalists are simply the latest incarnation of an old Western tradition know as “primitivism,” a belief in our culture which was well described in Jacques Barzun’s book “From Dawn to Decadence,” an overview of Western civilization. (He likes it, by the way.) For many centuries in the West, there have been groups who have turned away from the rest of the culture to “return to its roots,” so to speak, by rejecting modernity. You can see an earlier expression of this kind of “primitivism” among the Amish. The environmentalists yearn for some kind of a natural golden age in which they will live harmoniously with the Earth; their belief is deeply religious, as well as detached from any real understanding of the world as it is. A few years back, this environmental primitivism expressed itself as the hippie commune; now its expressing itself as those “living off the grid.” They’re dreamers. Maybe in a few decades they’ll be arguing among themselves about whether or not dialup Internet respects the Earth, or how many pounds of carbon they’ll be allowed to produce each day to fit the requirements of their belief.
All I need to know...
genesis, 1:28: “be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
what problem would these people have with that?
Economic growth is like body heat, organisms don't live to be warm, they are warm because they live. Economies don't grow to live, they grow because they live.
This entire mindset is a failure of the human mind to grasp just what market economics does and is, as it is way beyond their depth of what we call understanding.
Thus, they wish to reduce their world to something they can understand, inevitably resulting in the horrors of the totalitarian nightmare that is leftist ideology.
"Environmentalism is the history of what didn't happen", you can quote me.
