Who is this "they" (="loonies") that we are talking about?
You have them by the ton in Europe. They run under the name of "Environmentalists" but their goal, as I stated in the last post, is not "Clean Air" or "Clean Water." I used to think they are all a bunch of refugee Socialists looking for a new way to get to order people about, but a lot of them, although they profess to "Love Humanity," just don't like people. They want fewer of them on the planet.
The ultimate goal of many of them would be to get us down to a "Hunter, Gatherer" group of about 250,000, so that we no longer could disturb Nature, and "Plunder the Planet."
The ideal world of environmentalists is not twenty-first century Western civilization; it is the Garden of Eden, a world with no human intervention in nature, a world without innovation or change, a world without effort, a world where survival is somehow guaranteed, a world where man has mystically merged with the "environment." Had the environmentalist mentality prevailed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, we would have had no Industrial Revolution, a situation environmentalists would cheer. |
