The hypocrisy associated with all of this has been very hard to take. I would venture to guess that most of us here love the outdoors and want to preserve clean air, clean water, woods to hike in, places to camp with our children, etc. etc. The US, as the world’s favorite target and villain, has done a better job than almost all of the rest of the world in maintaining air quality, clean water, and preserving natural areas. People come from all over the world to see our National Parks.
Socialism has created the worst pollution and natural disasters in recorded history, including all that happened in the states of the previous USSR. We can’t even trust crayons from China because of lead, or powdered milk because of additives that killed children in this country. Nonetheless, many on the left still think socialism is the best system, and that we are the biggest threat to the planet.
Excellent points!
A friend of mine went to Russia years ago before communism fell and said it was the most depressing,dirty and colorless place they had ever seen.
