AJ, I find your Rand fixation curious. How many times have you posted this same point here? Ecologists exclude man from the natural order? Production uber alles?
There are a few holes in your battle cry, Joe. Man can live in a less than full out exploitation mode. "Ecologists" do not want to be technology free. Vultures don't swarm to fire. All or nothing arguments with a liberal dosage of right slanted hooey convince nobody. With all that surviving, discovering and producing going on, what is wrong with making sure that the next generation of lowest human tribesman can continue on consuming? Tell me, Joe, is unleaded gasoline part of a vast left wing conspiracy to undermine American productivity or yet another industry to profit from? How about those Promethean smokestacks? Do the sulfur scrubbers installed to stop acid rain make money for someone or just strangle the economy?
I consider myself green, and also capitalist. Why not tread lightly? Why not sustainable instead of exploitation?
