If we considered it a religion we'd actually have to treat them witha modicum of respect, that durned religious freedom thing. Best to consider it a mental illness and lock them up where they can be safe.

I have always been fascinated with the ultimate goals of the wacko environmentalists.

Most of them, when pressed, turn out to be just stupid – they aren’t able to see the actual consequences of what they propose (my favorite – “split wood, not atoms” – like that would really clean things up!).

But occasionally I run into one that has actually thought things through. These are the scary ones. When pressed they admit that they cannot have what they want unless the world human population is reduced to about 5% of its current level.

Soooo, how do they propose we get there? And who would be the “chosen” that remain? God knows what they consider the right plan to reach these ends…

By the way, I see some of the environmental changes that have been implemented as good. It’s just that I see them as the fruit of a healthy economy & society that must be properly balanced, not an imperative. And I do NOT like the way they are usually implemented by the government – I say incent financially and then get out of the way.
