YOU HATE THE EARTH

From another great article by Charles Winecoff at Big Hollywood:

Personally, I’d always thought America had made great strides with regards to the environment. Air pollution was definitely down. Drivers no longer used freeways as ashtrays or dumpsters. People everywhere now picked up their dog poop under penalty of law. Americans had really evolved, become more conscientious - to forge a distinctly cleaner nation. Unlike certain other, burgeoning Third World countries we know….

Well, apparently not. In the age of Oprahma, it’s chic to feel guilty and beholden to Mother Gaia, especially if you live in the land of plenty. A whole new generation of twentysomethings now wants to “heal the planet” - as if no one had ever conceived of such a thing before. Excuse me, little narcissists, but there were human beings here before you came along - who didn’t drive to work in SUVs the size of tanks. We heard all the dire predictions of gloom and doom before you were even a fetus.

And we’re still here.

Of course, there are plenty of adults who’ve been suckered in by the Green movement too, thanks to Oscar winner Al Gore. First, it was global warming, then “climate change,” now another ice age appears to be in the forecast. It’s wonderfully nostalgic! We all want to recapture our youth, I guess.

But there’s something disconcerting about grown people expressing “concern” when it’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Still, worrying about the weather is certainly a hell of a lot easier than dealing with the fact we’re all sitting ducks for a vast network of Islamic nuts.

Check Dr. Sanity for the psychology of denial. The left can not deal with real and pressing danger. It's too much for them. It makes them feel un-com-fort-able. So they take that real feeling and transfer it to something less real and pressing and make THAT the big bugaboo. Keeps y'all mellow n' stuff. 'Course it'll get us killed, but still....
