Instead of rising up in arms when we can no longer afford autos on our 0.01% interest income, they will cheer the use of bicycles, and presumably rickshaws, donkeys, etc. - anything pre-industrial. Complete useful tools of the fascists they think they oppose.Linda Cohnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-15044306181368634272014-04-01T22:45:50.622-04:002014-04-01T22:45:50.622-04:00Screw Earth Hour, observe Chanukah

Before organized religions, and after, the worship of nature and images of animal gods, half man or not, was regularly practiced. In the dark, animals rut and ravage, a comforting image to those who prefer less responsibility and morality. It was "pagan" and animal-cruel power, with no consequences other than an improbable and unspoken defeat in battle. The reptile brain, deep-down in man's skull, is satisfied with the freedom of darkness and prefers ignorance. Let them try shivering in a dark cave, as Man survived for thousands of years before invention freed him.<br />"Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone." Man's instincts require that he re-learn the pain of past madnesses, and with a dumbed-down and perverted education, he has to do it every generation, now.<br />Regards,Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000980125172288169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-90491233896381125682014-03-30T14:00:02.561-04:002014-03-30T14:00:02.561-04:00Earth Hour?

And then it moves on---too soon.<br /><br />In this piece, your writer's voice is like a spot-light, sweeping the darkness of Environmentalism's killing-fields.<br /><br />You wrote an essay a number of years back contrasting Environmentalism and Conservationism. I don't recall the title---I've tried to find it in the archives without success. It really hit home with me (there's a world of difference between the two philosophies) but so many average folks don't realize they're being baited-and-switched. Kind of like the difference between Humanism and Humanitarianism. I don't suppose you could recall the specific post?

It speaks to the basic nihilism of the left and the environmental movement (but I repeat myself). <br /><br />Thankfully, in at least one small victory, Earth Hour seems to have run its course. There was much less coverage than in previous years and little fanfare. I think the environmental movement has passed into the "meh" stage as their predictions have failed to come true. Doesn't mean it's less of a threat, just that people don't take it seriously anymore.David S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00663481158917525104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-87854063799085084082014-03-30T02:13:08.291-04:002014-03-30T02:13:08.291-04:00Have you ever watched an apocalyptic or post-apoca...Have you ever watched an apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic movie and observed how lovingly the CGI artists depict the destruction or the rotting of the symbols of our civilization, such as the Statue of Liberty, or the Empire State Building, or the crumbling, weed-smothered streets and tilting towers? These artists were influenced by the man-haters, by the droning, ubiquitous environmentalist message, and invariably, in such movies, there's an environmentalist message that man's pride in his technology and expanded life span and convenience was his downfall and undoing. And, in such movies as the two "Hunger Games" numbers, the evil people live in fabulous cities with 200 mph trains and plentiful food and somehow maintain an industrial civilization while having the fashion sense of clowns; the virtuous people are the ones living in hovels and making do with bows and arrows and are persecuted and patronized by the city people. That's all part and parcel of the theme of Daniel's eloquent essay: environmentalists are man-hating vermin whom we have allowed to poison our lust for life.

One of the more odder manife...Yes, it is suicidal.<br /><br />One of the more odder manifestations of this suicidal impulse is this: I am a pro musician and I live in Woodstock NY, a town made famous by the music biz.<br /><br />The modern popular music biz owes its very existence to gas, oil and electricity. LPs and CDs were made out of oil. Gas and jet fuel propelled musicians to gigs and enable musicians to build audiences that span the globe.<br /><br />Almost all musicians I know are involved in the crusade to kill the fossil fuel industry. When I encounter this, I always think: "Ingrates! Be thankful for these gifts from God!"<br /><br />I do not understand from whence this suicidal impulse came. Best I can imagine is that the shocking barbarity of the Holocaust turned Western liberal society against its own continued existence.Shouting Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813058890609756982noreply@blogger.com
