We just need to keep pointing out how profoundly anti-human the eco-wackos are.

However, India's flirtation with prosperity may be short-lived. It has formidable enemies, including most first-world governments, leading academics and scientists, wealthy foundations, thousands of non-governmental officers, influential journalists, passionate activists, and countless other powerful interests.

Bear in mind that this article doesn't single out the environazis. It also points the finger at "first-world governments".

Brilliant piece.

Mud oozed between the village woman's toes, as she made her way between the shanty houses. Not plain mud, but mud containing rotting garbage, human and animal faeces, urine, and years of decaying vegetation. She milked an emaciated cow.

The stench in this small village in north India was appalling. A gaunt man vomited from the window of a dilapidated bus. Children sat in wet dung and urine making dung pats to dry for fuel; a man rummaged in a garbage heap, like the pig and goat nearby, for whatever might be edible.

This would have been an accurate description of London or New York less than 200 years ago. Read Charles Dickens.

"Sustainable for how long: 10, 100, 1000, a million or a billion years? For whom? Advanced people with unknowable future technology and resources? What must be sustainable? Utilisation of "non-renewables"? Why not consume them? They are resources only if used. For how long must we conserve them? Must our decendants, by the same twisted logic, do likewise? Forever?"

Consider the "Natural Resources Defense Council". They "defend" natural resources. However, a resource that cannot be exploited is not a resource at all. So why are these folks "defending" resources? So that they can be exploited in the future?...Or never exploited at all?

The "first world environmentalists" want the rest of the world to serve as their own private human zoo : The two-legs (they don't see them as fully human) living 'out there' are to be kept in colorful, traditional squalor so the first worlders wealthy enough to travel around the world can go marvel at a way of life so different from Duluth. Ever hear one of those people talking about how sad it is that the whole world "looks like one giant Des Moines"?

Some Freeper criticized me the other day for posting an article from the Telegraph. He said it was a left wing newspaper. Just goes to show you not all monkeys are in the zoo.

Well obviously the author has not consulted with notorious ecos and various leftist academics who could inform him about how much better it is for the poor people of the world to live in stinking mud rather than have those awful capitalists and globalists change their "spiritual" way of living. How can he be so ignorant and hard-hearted as to disregard the admonitions of the "anointed"? (Har, har)
