Bump.

Got a good arguing point out of this article. The lefties like to ooh and ahh so much over Nobel Prize winners- well, I'll have to start bringing Dr Paul Muller up in the argument.

The "green bigots" (Thomas Sowell's term) have never cared about the "environment," however we might interpret that famously flexible term. What they care about, plainly, is power.

The proof is in whom they appear to trust: governments, the biggest polluters and despoilers of land in the history of the world. The enviro-nazis would rather have government assume total power over all decision making than allow people to use Round-Up on their driveways without posting a $500,000 surety bond. As long as they could get jobs in the regulatory agencies, of course.

Of course, human life is of no value in their equations. One look at the murders and vandalism they've been willing to commit, the human suffering from disease and poverty they condone, and the bizarre ideas their affiliates espouse (check out the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement!) is enough to convince anyone that the thing they hold least valuable is human life.

Of course, it helps them along that it's not their rich, well-secured lives that are on the line. Only a few poor schmucks in Sri Lanka or Guyana, and what point is there in protecting them? They don't contribute to the NRDC or the Nature Conservancy. They don't even vote.

Forgive me, friends. The older I get, the hotter certain of my buttons get. This is one of the hottest.

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,

Bless your heart JH2. You have been the silent poster from hell on this issue. You're doing God's work, you really are.

C.S. Lewis made an observation applicable to do-gooders everywhere: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Bump for Prof. Williams.
