I quit a good-paying job in state government because I got tired of listening to all the paeans to “sustainability”—and judging all our actions by whether or not they met that criteria. It is a spiderweb of crap that extends from EPA to all state and local government. It is truly antithetical to the Constitution and classic American civic principles. And the whole concept is totally unworkable in the face of the way our economy is organized today. It is like hippies moving “back to the land” in the 70’s. So many people just go along with the starry-eyed young idealists because they know it will never happen. But then comes Obama, who may actually believe in it! And his actions are consistent, because the only way it will ever happen is in a dictatorship. Think of Borat’s home village!
I know nothing of Borat, but “spiderweb of crap” is a good way to put this whole issue.
