Sorry, but I woke up late and have to go in early. More goodness tomorrow.




I found this article in the Canada Free Press and thought you would be interested in the questions raised by this article: When visions collide: The Rainforest Action Network’s real target is the Third World’s poor.
Here are two very interesting and thought provoking points:
But what happens when their vision of a “better Earth” collides with the dreams of billions of poor people who still don’t enjoy even the most rudimentary necessities: electricity, safe water, basic nutrition and health care, and a chance to see their children live past age five? Who then gets to decide which dreams and priorities take precedence, how high a price must be paid, and who pays that price?
More to the point, who has given the activists the moral or legal authority to inflict their ideologies on people who may not agree with them, must live with the consequences, and had no role in making the decisions?
I especially like the second question. This just points out very clearly that Liberals are so full of themselves. They know what’s right for everybody else, but they don’t have to follow their own rules. Nobody else can have an SUV, and so on, ad nausiam.
The Rainforest Action Network is trying to “save the planet,” and they don’t care about the human cost. To them, humans (other than themselves, of course) are nothing but greedy scavengers, eager to rape and pillage the planet for their own immediate gain. Never mind the rainforest grows back after it’s burnt and left fallow. Never mind lumber companies plant more trees than they cut down. Forget Nature itself puts out many times more greenhouse gases than man does. But you can’t avail yourself to them, because they have the religion of eco-whatever.
