Re: The new EVIL in the world today!!!!!
Lyle, I am simply incredulous .......... I actually agree with you !!!!!
I do not dispute that global warming and pollution is a problem. I am not sure incontrovertible proof exists that warming is not a natural planetary cycle (the world has been warming up since the last Ice Age), but I am prepared to accept that - on the balance of probability - humans have contributed to it.
However, what I object to are the social fascists who seek to try and tell me how to live my life in minutest detail to comply with their own simplistic world view. These people are the same people who jump on any so-called social issue that makes them furious, which is their overriding emotion, and giving them the opportunity to feel superior and lecture others. 60 years ago, they would have been happily shoveling Jews into the gas chambers or carrying Soviet Party Cards, 20 years ago they would be travellers rioting about Poll Tax....... now they are social workers and traffic wardens on fat final salary pensions paid for my us, after our own retirements have been sold down the swanee by the governemt.
Me being told to put paper in one bin and cardboard in another is not going to resolve fossil fuel burning in China or India, or reduce the Amazon rainforest logging. It is a con to cut costs and make more profit by making me do work that a company would otherwise have to pay someone to do.
Higher so called 'Green taxes' are the funniest of all. It is OK to pollute the atmosphere as long as you pay the government some money? So only rich people can pollute, even though they are the ones who can afford the undoubted extra costs of being 'green'? That is ethical and consistent!!
The best of all is when people descent into pettiness and political grandstanding - like some politician putting a wind turbine on his roof as if he is so green and committed (the carbon cost of building the turbine would take several hundred years to be offset by the inefficient output of power ...... but who cares what works or what is fair as long as we are SEEN TO conform to the Green fascists.)
This is the biggest bandwagon have seen in my life, shame there is no eco-tax to be levied on wasting billions of pounds and creating an monstrous beaurocracy of 'enforcers' who will make a tidy and self righteous living, by making everyone else on the planet miserable.
