Snyder said she has learned through her travels that residents of the world's poorer nations only think they want to emulate America. Yeah, in reality they want to continue to live in hovels and starve to death.

Good morning and thanks for another great post. Nothing like a good cup of coffee and the rantings of the greenies to get me fired up for the day :)

""We're going to need 16 more planets if everyone aspires to be like an average American," Snyder added."Jeez, is it up to 16 now? It started off, about six months ago, as one additional planet ... then, just before the HotAir Conference in Jo'burg it became three .... <
Now it's 16? All right, admit it ... which one of you out there is hoarding planets! This inflation has to stop ... quit hiding planets under your mattress!

Hmmm..., no mention of global warming.
Because they know that the wheels are coming off of that little theory. Now, it's more general, so that no matter what, they can something to complain about. I think we'll see more of this. You'll see less specifics, because the truth is not on their side.

Snyder said she has learned through her travels that residents of the world's poorer nations only think they want to emulate America. "They want what we have -- but they don't realize how ugly it is," Snyder said.
Yes, the rampant disease, poverty, famine, unchecked ecological ruin, and often violent political repression rife in the third world are so much more politically pure, so long as none of that spiritually corrupting capitalist cash is driving it.

Silberman cautioned against too much growth in the developing world. "We live on this one small planet and it only has a certain carrying capacity," she said.Well at least she probably won't have any children (hopefully not through abortion)

And things have gotten SOooo much better since we listened to them and stopped using DDT that I think the little girl is right and we should stop using all other pesticides as well. Those people, they only THINK they don't want to get malaria. In greenie-land, malaria is cool!

You know these people have gone over the cliff when they start spouting this sort of tripe. When they are SERIOUSLY talking about electrification and water treatment being bad for the 3rd world, they've checked out of reality.

there were 7,000 people dying of diseases related to water [sanitation]. Isn't that also a crime?
We might note that these jerks were within ten miles of people who have no clean water to drink or food to eat. Yet, they did not bother to take any of those sickly little children a glass of fresh water or a sandwich.
Quite obviously, these sumbags have plenty of money to fly over there and stay at fancy hotels. But, they do not care enough to spend ten bucks to help some hungry children.
Evidently, caring is not their primary agenda. Socialism is.

I wish I could make a total redistribution [of wealth]," Snyder saidSure she does, then she wouldn't have to work like most of us BULLsh*t Average Americans - she could just live off our backs, if she doesn't already. What a steamin' pantload of crap!
To: kattracks
"I wish I could make a total redistribution [of wealth]," Snyder said. This is the only true statement in this article.

stop using paper napkins for everything, stop using paper cups See where she is going. Next thing the envirocommies will try to take away paper for writing. Soon free thought itself will be deemed dangerous to mother earth.

"Greed is the enemy - the underlying problem is greed, and that leads into most of the problems with the ecological system and the political system." No, stupidity and the need to control others is.
The "invisible hand" of enlightened self-interest is still the most powerful weapon wielded by civilized man, and no amount of foaming rhetoric by the neurotic will ever change that.
We have not just gone through a couple of hundred years of the greatest burst of human ingenuity inventiveness and creativity, politically as well as scientifically, to hand things over to the insane... or have we?

Snyder is traveling throughout the developing world as part of her "social change project," sponsored in part by the Earth Island Institute and Patch Adams, the famed doctor, known for his social activism and irreverent style.
Snyder said she has learned through her travels that residents of the world's poorer nations only think they want to emulate America.
"They want what we have -- but they don't realize how ugly it is," Snyder said.
Snyder implored her fellow Americans to "stop using so much...stop driving everywhere or carpool, stop wearing clothes that have brand names on them, stop using paper napkins for everything, stop using paper cups, carry your own travel mug, read Julia 'Butterfly' Hill's book, One Makes a Difference. It's the little things that really do make change." Hill is the young woman who lived in a California redwood tree for two years to protest logging practices.
"I wish I could make a total redistribution [of wealth]," Snyder said. "Things are going to change. They have to," she added. Ok, now I gotta ask.
1) How is she traveling? Surely not in an "evil jet" and certainly not first class,right?
2)She didn't mention toilet paper (maybe I should have left that one out...)
3)travel mugs are made of plastic, right? and books are made of paper? She's promoting them.. you heard her : )

Silberman is from the Oakland-based Center for Environmental Health, the group that led the heckling of Secretary of State Colin Powell during his address last week at the Earth Summit.
