Let us weep for this misguided woman who is stricken with the pathetic need to feel self-righteous about a non-issue.
Humans have been genetically engineering plants and animals for millenia. The grains we eat are altered from wild varieties, and the resultant abundance allows people to be vegetarians if they so wish, rather than gnawing on leftover animal bones. I'm not sure if violin strings still have to be made from cat guts anymore, but they used to be. So her profession is in debt to animal exploitation. Maybe she feels guilty about that.
I read the article and couldn't find their rationalization for setting fire to corrals. The gov't rounds up wild horses and burros and tries to adopt them out just so they don't have to shoot them. Like I said, it's a pathetic syndrome, endemic among college grads in the liberal arts. My guess is she doesn't know a photon from a proton, and couldn't integrate equations to save her skin. And I am serious about weeping for her ignorance. And after we weep for her, lock her up for another 4 years!
This is the practical result of society as a whole ALLOWING the ivory towers of academia to take ‘those young minds of mush’ and fill them with goals and ideas designed to see black as white, up as down, war as peace, freedom as slavery and so on.
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, man was given dominion over plants and animals. In the world we live in, Man sits atop the food chain. In the Green/Communist tradition and worldview, Man is placed as subservient to the whims of ‘leaders’ who use plants and animals to ‘guilt’ the sheep into giving power to the wolves.
The sheep, having been educated into a state of Stockholm Syndrome most of their natural lives and thanks to the fore-mentioned Ivory Tower Communists, play along willingly. Anyone with two thought molecules rattling around their skull and rejecting the indoctrination is considered a threat to their version of society.
Thus many, sarcasm aside, really do believe that “she had a good reason” and “She believed in what she was doing” therefore it’s OK. Worse, we should emulate here devotion to Gaia.
We used to call such people mentally ill. Today, we give them diplomas and elect them to Congress.
