Stupidity, thy name is Edward Hudgins:
"Most individuals who celebrate Earth Day by cleaning up trash beside the road no doubt mean well. But ... the premises behind the eco-extremists are anti-human and, if acted on consistently, would lead to worse carnage than that wrought by communists. On Earth Day we should reflect not on the planet but on the inhabitants who can make it of value."I should have something to end this here, but all I can think to say is, "Huh?"
Short and sweet... Like me. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo...wait. We bring carnage upon ourselves because we shift our focus to tending the delicate ecosystems we inhabit instead of the inhabitants? After reading Hudgins article this makes perfect sense: everything is worthless unless it's exploitable or a direct benefit to human needs. Who wants to build a rocket to blow up Mars? I'm sure we could find some profitable raw materials, or the very least make room for an interstellar super-highway to the casinos on Jupiter.
ReplyDeleteDiane,
ReplyDeleteIn a family of tall people I'm considered short. I'm about 5 ft 3 or 5 ft 4 on a good day. My 12 - year -old is almost taller than I am.
I Guess Hudgins is having trouble seeing the forest for all the damned trees!
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell!
ReplyDeleteI did some roadside dumping instead.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Doug! Love it. :)
ReplyDeleteScrew the planet, score for us!
ReplyDeleteAmen, Christopher! And thanks for your thoughts. :)
ReplyDeleteWow...rainlillie is short? OK, seriously, HUH? Yeah, picking up trash is pretty extreme. Planting a tree is doggone RADICAL. Frickin' Socialist Commies.
