Today is the 32nd anniversary of the first "Earth Day," founded by former U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, who modeled his anti-capitalist protests after anti-Vietnam War demonstrations of that era. Today, the so-called "environmentalist movement" has evolved (devolved some might say) from a gaggle of adolescent peaceniks into a slick cadre of lobbyists and lawyers, who are responsible in large measure for the enormous hidden tax on American products and services -- the cost of regulation ($843 billion in 2000).

The populist wing of environmentalism now operates under the aegis of Albert Gore's cult of Latter Day Eco-theologists (earth-worshipers).

For a reality check on this 24-hour tribute to environmental absurdity and its relentless 24-7 assault on free enterprise, the National Center for Public Policy Research hosts a site (compliments of Algore's Internet) for your reading pleasure. Visit -- National Center.org Earth Day

The Earth Day watermelon crowd is the same bunch that's attemtping to foist the Global Warming nonsense on us as well. Thank God temperatures in the northeast have gone back to normal, or we'd never hear the end of it.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools...Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
-- St. Paul's letter to the Romans, Chapt. 1, v. 22-27
